We went along for another Sunday lunch at our local restaurant, to find them extremely busy, it would seem that they were 'catering' for a wedding, at least two birthday parties, and a whole host of us usual's looking to feed our face with that national treasure, a Sunday Lunch ! it was that busy, that Bartella's have tables set up in Bar. not only did they take it all in their stride, the food was as excellent as usual, staff as friendly as always, and we did notice that whenever a member of staff returned to the main dining area, they all immediately surveyed all of the cover to see if anybody was looking for attention. the whole operation was a credit to first class training, well done Ian and all of you at our wonderful "Local Restaurant".

Really pleasantly surprised. First time visiting. Considering it was very busy with large table covers we were looked after so well. Food and service were fab. We tried a real mixture from the menu and everyone was happy. The pizzas are a must! Very good value for money ….. Bartella keep doing what you’re doing. Your staff are an asset to you

Perfect evening at Bartellas celebrating with my husband. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant we were seen to promptly and had our coats taken to cloak room. Lovely waiter see us to our table and was very helpful with menu choices. Starters of Prawns did not disappoint and nice length of time between courses. The biscoff cheese cake was one of the best I've had. We will definitely be visiting again

We were seated quickly and our friend was already at the table. He had a menu and a drink but we didn't know who our waiter was and we needed to ask for 2 more menus and it was really difficult to get the attention of any waiter, so between 3 of us, we shared 1 menu. We waited quite long time before being asked if we wanted drinks. The free bread and garlic mayo was delicious. I ordered the Quatrro formaggi 'filled' mushrooms but what i got was very disappointing. There were 2 very thin slices of mushrooms with blu cheese cream over the top with some garnish. The word 'filled' is misleading and is not what i would use to describe this dish. When the waiter took our plates away, he failed to ask if everything was OK with our starters. I therefore asked why they weren't filled and he said they were in a blu cheese sauce, clearly not filled with anything. He just apologised and left it at that. Mains were again disappointing, the chicken was very thin like it had been hammered too much and the prosciutto was just sitting on top rather than wrapped around the chicken like I would have expected. The potatoes were lovely, as was the creamed spinach and garlic bread with cheese, however the quarters were stacked on top of each other and ended up stuck together. The tiramisu was average, the strawberry flavour doesn't work. The Biscoff cheesecake was good, as was the brownie, however part of the parchment cooking paper was left on it. In all fairness, this was taken off the bill. The carpark is inadequate, the spaces are too tight and there were some very inconsiderate car drivers. We ended up parking on the main road. I don't think I would eat here again.

Wonderful lunch with the family to celebrate my 70th birthday. Held in the salon private room, 22 of us enjoyed a great afternoon that went on till the early evening. Pre-arranged a 3 course menu which had lots of choices for the adults and the children choose from the kids menu. Food and service was excellent from when we arrived until we drank the last bottle of wine and called our cab. Special thanks to Millie and her colleagues that looked after us on the day and to Ian, Elliott, Aaron for their help in making it such a great occasion.

Whilst we were a large group (18), it was very disappointing to be told we couldn’t have a drink at the bar but had to go straight to the table (as I understand it, the maitre’d offered to carry people away over his shoulder if we didn’t sit down). So not off to a great start and the set menu was very disappointing. Especially for £35 a head! When I asked if it was possible for a couple of people to choose from the a la carte, the maitre’d gave a lengthy and ‘assertive’ explanation as to why he couldn’t possibly cater for that with all the covers in the restaurant and another large party upstairs. I really was only asking for one or 2 of our party. The response was somewhat disproportionate to the question and clearly agitated him. The food was ok. But I can’t get any more enthusiastic than that. For a place we have enjoyed many times, I can’t help but feel they are overstretching their capacity.

Bartellas never lets us down. One of the few restaurants open and running well on NY Day we were greeted instantly as usual, and also welcomed by a roaring fire and beautiful Christmas decorations. The staff here are just the absolute best, beating many London restaurants with their attention and professionalism. The food was good and came swiftly and the cocktails are very reasonably priced. Absolutely loved the Lavendar Posset with Honeycomb dessert. We only manage to get here twice a year, due to distance, but do so every year. For special occasions it is a must.

We have been to Bartellas on many occasions and I can't praise the place enough. We went tonight for dinner, always doubtful it can live up to our previous visits... how ever it didn't disappoint (as always!) The front of house chap (possibly Ian?) was as friendly and attentive as you could wish for and then the waiting staff took over. The restaurant was full but there was plenty of staff available. They were very observant checking on all the tables as they passed. The food is beautiful and delicious. My only criticism would be that the faux candles need a battery change but that's it!!! Certainly not a deal breaker in anyone's book. Check it out.... you won't regret it.

Have been coming here for a number of years now. Came for New Years Day. The staff and service are amazing, they really do make you feel so welcome and valued. The cocktails are very good with a great selection to choose from. You aren’t rushed at all which is 10/10 for me. The restaurant itself is very nice and toilets are spotless. Unfortunately there were two things that let this particular visit down slightly (for me) which was the food and ambiance. A prawn cocktail is a very standard starter and so for a restaurant like Bartellas you would expect it to be the best here. Unfortunately the prawns were like tiny shrimp, the sauce was quite bland and they were just scattered on top of some dark green leaves. Also, something crunchy was scattered over the top? For mains I ordered the rack of lamb but for £29 it was a bit disappointing. It came with the tiniest spoonful of mash and a literal scattering of peas. For £29 I expected better accompanying vegetables and at least enough mash just to last as long as the lamb. Also, both the starter and main appeared to have excessive amount's of red paprika? scattered all over them for decoration. We were a fairly large group ourselves including four children, but the noise coming from the table behind us was simply too much. iPads on full volume playing music loud throughout dinner was not enjoyable for us. Not the restaurants fault but just something to note. Food definitely needs improvement, however, everything else was perfection.

Came here on Christmas Eve and had a disappointing meal, I would probably not come here again. The pizzas were no better than frozen ones I could get at my local supermarket, with almost no cheese or toppings to speak of. It was pretty much just gummy tomato bread. The burgers were also a bit dry and so 3 of our party did not finish our meals. The restaurant itself is clean and pleasant, and the service was very good, its just a shame about the food

Dined at Bartellas Saturday evening with family. Was disappointing that we didn't realise we could have ordered from the a la carte menu until after we'd eaten. When we arrived and were shown to our table there were Christmas Party menus at each place setting. Unfortunately we didn't notice at the very bottom of the menu we could have asked for the a la carte menu if we were a party of less than 10, which we were. It would have been helpful if the waitress had pointed out this was an option. I ordered prawns in white wine and tomato for starters and the cod loin for main. Although both were tasty the portions were quite small. I don’t eat much usually but even I still felt hungry after and so ordered the Christmas pudding. Disappointingly the pudding was quite dry and hard. Other desserts ordered by our group did look delicious. My husband's turkey meal was much bigger and there was plenty of turkey. The staff were very efficient and polite, we didn't have to wait long for meals or drinks despite the restaurant being very busy. Its an attractive restaurant with a good atmosphere. Have only eaten there once before for Sunday lunch a year ago. Again very busy. We will return at some point to try the a la carte menu as it does look appetising.

Been to Bartellas a few times now it’s lovely and local for us the service is always outstanding and so is the atmosphere but sadly we were disappointed in the food this time . My husband had the duck starter but to be honest there was not really much duck inside. He then had liver for main he always has this as it’s normally a good size that satisfies his appetite but sadly the portion has become smaller so he was left hungry. It’s not a cheap restaurant we knew that but come on improve your portions otherwise your reputation will suffer and that’s not what we want.

I have dined at this restaurant several times previously and it was always excellent. Unfortunately, I was extremely ill after my last visit. I had advised the staff at the restaurant that I am Coeliac and mentioned it again during ordering and requests for bread. My pizza base was different to my friend’s and the dessert was from the gluten free menu. I am happy that these were not the cause. However there were regular dough balls at our table so I asked our waiter for gluten feee bread. It was different to the gluten free bread I have eaten there previously. I had two drinks which were both gluten free. After leaving the restaurant I had an awful reaction on the train home and I am still a week later recovering. Having followed a strict gluten free diet for 17 years, there are of course times when human error occur. My body’s reaction to gluten is always approximately 2 hours after consuming and always the same. I emailed the manager, Ian, the next day to let him know purely so they can be more careful in future. His responses have been defensive and arrogant to say the least. No doubt he will have something to say in response to this review. He has refused to accept any responsibility for this mishap. Having spoken to the waiter concerned he is confident that it was nothing they had given me to make me so ill and states that without a team of microbiologists are unable to comment further. I have given it a very generous two stars as it was a pleasant evening beforehand. I was 100% served food that contained GLUTEN. Give this place a wide birth if you are Coeliac!

When we arrived the restaurant had been pretty much taken over by people who were at a wake that has been going on for some hours and they were all drunk (the waiter said it had overrun), which meant it was extremely loud and difficult to hear. We felt this group should have been asked to remain in the bar or outside area (presumably the owner was keen to keep them there as long as possible sue to the amount of drinks they were purchasing!). However, on our request we were found a table in a much quieter area which was more suitable. We both enjoyed our starters but then there was a very long wait until the main course. Main courses were okay but the portion of dauphinois potatoes was minuscule (two bites), and the chicken dish was overpowered by garlic taste (and this is someone who likes garlic!). Due to the long wait between courses, we didn’t have a dessert. Waiting staff were very nice and the email was reasonably priced.

Brilliant evening for my friend's birthday. 25 of us in total in private upstairs area. We were so well looked after. Each couple opened their own tab.Each tab was spot on and accurate. Can't recommend Bartellas highly enough.
