Amazing experience!! We loved everything about our evening at the Box tree, from the homely warm and welcoming feel, the professional and knowledgable staff, and the amazing food and drink. The tasting menu and wine pairings blew us away. The menu becomes your meal, entertainment and talking point. Although every course was amazing, our special mentions would go to the crab and tomato brioche with the tomato consommés, BBQ langoustine, agnolotti of local goat's curd and Yorkshire ricotta, forced rhubarb. Some truly wonderful flavours. Thanks to all the team for a brilliant evening, we hope to be back. Jessica and Lee Newsome.

We had the tasting menu with sommelier’s choice of wines to complement the dishes. The food and the service was outstanding. The restaurant has character and great ambience. Our only criticism was the cost of the 4 tasting glasses of wine. £70 was a high price for such a small amount of wine. We wouldn’t choose that option another time. It didn’t detract from the whole experience though. Just loved it.

We have never had a tasting menu before and we’re a little apprehensive. However we had no need to worry. Each course was a delight and was fully explained. We had been in the Savoy Grill a couple of weeks before and my wife preferred the Box Tree, the Savoy was excellent so to outdo that is recommendation beyond compare.

The standard of service and ambience were excellent. Apart from the main course all the food was very good. The main course was lukewarm at best which we told the waitress when asked. The Manager discussed our concerns at length and made a reduction on the final bill. We would go again as overall it was a good experience and we are willing to accept this was not their usual standard.

Myself and my husband had a fantastic time visiting the Box Tree. We were made to feel very welcome by all of the staff who all gave outstanding customer service. Every single member of staff were friendly, welcoming and attended to our every need. We could not fault the service or food. Thank you very much to all.

Absolutely amazing service, good and overall experience. Was made to feel special from start to finish. We told the waiter it was my husbands 41st birthday and 10mins later he was presented with birthday card, personalised with his name and 41st inside! I mean how incredible! It’s touches like this that make the experience even more memorable. Will definitely be returning.

Ignore those who say it isn’t what it was in years gone by - all 4 of us were blown away by the set lunch menu. The total amount of food was perfect and the variety of tastes and textures superb. The menu is much more contemporary now, exactly what we want. The service was faultless and not at all intrusive. We can’t wait to go back. Don’t hesitate.

As aways the Boxtree never disappoints. The service and food are exceptional. We went for Sunday Lunch. The atmosphere is a little more relaxed with music playing mudic ftom 50s to 80s at a level that isn't intrusive. However one bizarre carol came on!! Although it is fine dining, it is also very welcoming and not over formal at lunchtime. As you'd expect, you pay a little more for the exceptional service. One minor drawback, being disabled and having the toilets upstairs was a challenge, but this is a very minor concern for most people.

Food was overall good but very variable. Souffle, velouté, lemon meringue were all excellent. Some of the other dishes were average at best. In particular the fish was over cooked. Worst however was the timing, we waited about 30 minutes between courses and eventually (despite delaying the taxi by 30 minutes) 3 of us had to leave halfway through dessert. We mentioned this to the staff but at no point was an apology offered nor did a senior staff person turn up to resolve. We have been to the Box Tree on and off over 30 years and this was by far the worst experience. The wines were good though :)

The tasting menu has become ridiculously small . We had one scallop as a course and the “main “ course was a tiny piece of beef and one tiny potato . I have been going to the Box tree for nearly 20 years and I’m thinking I won’t go again . Dress code and ambience not what it used to be . Time to get a grip

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch, for our friends birthday. Nice touch with a birthday card on the table for her. Food outstanding. Only disappointing thing and surprising aspect was, when we were leaving our coats were 'thrown' on the window sill and other guests coats hung over chairs in the waiting area. Not what we would expect from this kind of establishment.

Overall our meal was very good but not excellent due to the prolonged wait between courses and the temperature of food of our main course; Somewhat tepid is a shame for such deliciously tasty food. The dessert soufflé was very very good but the brownie was a little too hard and not quite as sweet as it could be, the caramel swirls helped though. The service was impeccable. The room ambient was pleasant but got cooler as the afternoon went on and needed perhaps a boost of heat to make it a tad more comfortable.

The courses were all delicious, well-constructed both for flavour and appearance, and we enjoyed all of them. We appreciated the excellent service, including the time we were given to enjoy each course, and enjoyed the younger staff learning the trade too - all fab. It's a special treat kind of place so we had high expectations and the food, drink and service hit the mark well. We wonder if the decor could be dragged into the 21st century - the pictures on the walls were dull and dated, and the wall lights need an upgrade too, if finances allow.

Booked this as a special birthday treat and had very high expectations but were sadly disappointed. The music was inappropriate for a fine dining restaurant, it lacked ambience and the food was mediocre verging on poor. Only the canapés came up to scratch.

Canapés were delicious. The almond & grape starter wasn’t enjoyable. Think cheese course should have consisted of cheese alone. There were 2 desserts so felt that another dessert shouldn’t have accompanied the cheese. Think the 12.5 percent tip is too high. Very comfortable restaurant.

All of the dishes were amazing, cooked to perfection, with finely balanced textures and flavours. My taste buds were particularly blown away by the amuse-bouches and dessert (the caramel chocolate delice must have been one of the best desserts I've eaten in a very long time). I was very pleasantly surprised to see Kerisac on the drinks menu, due to it being one of my favourite cidres and because it's so difficult to find in the UK. The staff members were attentive and knew the menu very well. Overall, a perfect experience!

Overall our experience was really good, but have marked down on ambience & noise level as the music choice was not great, being a bit 'pop-y' could be more chilled and classical to go with the venue. Value for money - slightly expensive Shame there were only 3 tables (9 people) in on a Friday night.
