"Reading previous reviews we felt confident that Sunday Lunch for 8 of us including a child and teenagers at The Oliver Twist was the place to be especially as it was also quite local.A bonus during winter months. Staff acknowledged and engaged with us immediately on arrival, menu’s were distributed and drinks orders taken by friendly and attentive staff. Some of the starters were disappointing including the crab cake, the sauce accompanying the scotch egg, and the bread served with balsamic vinegar oil although the mushrooms on toast were very much enjoyed. The mains arrived and there was, in fairness, plenty of food presented. No one was going to leave the restaurant hungry. The breast of chicken was very moist and tender but the beef and pork were over cooked and dry. There was a plentiful selection of vegetables and crispy Yorkshire puddings but, sad to say, we’ve had better roasties. The saving grace were the desserts including the Eton Mess with raspberries, sticky toffee pudding and the apple pie. The panna cotta and doughnuts would have also received a thumbs up had it not been such a small portion! That diner was very disappointed! We are hoping it was an ‘off day’ for the chef and, that if we returned for a meal during the week, we would be pleasantly surprised. Do we give it another chance? ps We did report a very slippery floor after one of our party who was using crutches and another wearing high heels nearly lost their balance. By the time we had paid the bill and were leaving (about 25 minutes) it had not been attended to. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere was pleasant. Could do better The Oliver Twist although our hound was very grateful for his doggy bag!"

We had dinner with a party of four on Christmas Eve at a restaurant that was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. We have dined here multiple times and have always had a wonderful experience. We look forward to returning again soon.

We needed a location for a meeting in a hallway and this restaurant was perfect, with good reviews to boot. It exceeded our expectations. The staff were efficient, friendly, and attentive. Our appetizers were fresh and tasty, while the entrees were generously portioned and delicious. The desserts were the perfect ending to our meal. Despite being a bit out of the way, the restaurant still provided impeccable service, even on a rainy or snowy evening. View menu

My friend and I decided to stop by for a drink on a late Saturday afternoon. We were warmly welcomed by a friendly bartender with a pleasant personality, making it easy to strike up a conversation. The menu was so enticing that I couldn't resist ordering the Sea Bass from the specials section. The dish was freshly prepared and not microwaved, paired with delicious vegetables that were the best I've had in years. I would give it a perfect 10 out of 10.
