"Don’t bother using opentable to make your booking with vintage inn they will treat you like a second class citizen and might fail to recognise your booking, this happened to us last Sunday. “Sorry were full, and despite you having a conformation we don’t see it. It’s because you used some 3rd party website, so we prioritise our own bookings in this scenario”. Nice.... Just don’t bother. Staff totally didn’t get the issue and were pretty rude. Clearly all bookings aren’t equal, and you can’t ever trust that you actually have a confirmed booking even when they mail you and confirm."

The food was okay, it used to be much better in the past. The service was swift, friendly, and welcoming.

A very nice restaurant. The food is always well cooked and beautifully presented. The service was always good. Quick, but not on your face.

Poor service and possibly some of the worst food I have eaten, crab cake special was the worst crab cake I have ever tasted. Managed to get served a drink after 25 minutes of being there and we got there early so felt sorry for customers who arrived during the busy dinner period

A return visit as I can not fault this place Food very good as always I booked in advance using Opentable but the staff had no record of this booking. Luckily they were able to find us a table straight away. So there must be a problem with their booking system, although I’ve used it before with no problem.

The food at this restaurant was excellently cooked, so much so that my husband said the broccoli he had was the best he had ever eaten at a restaurant. They were able to accommodate my mother in a wheelchair and even escorted us to our table to ensure it was suitable for her. The staff was friendly and polite throughout our dining experience.

We have always had excellent service, however we arrived at 1pm as requested, but Our order Wasn't taken until 2.15pm . And we were meeting other people at 3.45pm, Just about made it. I can't fault the waitress service, and can only assume that there was something wrong that We were not informed about. When we arrived. This however will not put us off eating at this restaurant.

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."

"What can I say….We held our wedding dinner and impromptu party ! on the mezzanine floor and had the time of our lives with our nearest and dearest. It’s been a pretty special place for us as we dined at the House by Hilly Gant to check the area out before moving from London and so as we were having a small wedding of 22 people we felt this was the best place to have our wedding. Suzanne and the team could not have done anything more to make our afternoon and evening so perfect. The food was outstanding and our guests were very impressed Harry and his cocktail making skills are second to none. Huge shout out to all the kitchen staff who’s attention to detail and timings were spot on. Leading up to the day itself Suzanne took charge and offered her expert advice on how to dress the room and made so much effort with our requirements. 3 children and 1 baby as part of the guest list! . The beef in particular was spectacular and the chocolate fondant was sublime. We honestly didn’t want to leave. After dinner Suzanne was able to crank the music up and we had a little party ensuring all the guests downstairs were still well looked after our friends were actually dining downstairs and were able to join us towards the latter part of the evening! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much to everyone for making it so special for us. I’m not surprised that you were recently awarded your second rosette, totally deserved. For anyone looking for quality food, locally sourced, and beautifully executed this is the place to come. SEE YOU SOON and thank you again x"
