Cedar Tree in Nuneaton and Bedworth

All style over substance, overpriced, small portion sizes & zero evidence of any love or passion for what they produce in the kitchen. I had the Morrican Lamb, it literally had 5 small bite size pieces of lamb, which I wouldn't of minded so much if the rest was plentiful & tasty but the portions were very stingy & lack lustre in flavour, very underwhelming. This is your typical UK chain restaurant, a lot spent on decor & aesthetics but the food is very average...the prices would have you think otherwise though. Another example of why the rest of world is bemused at the UK's general standard of food & restaurants that we find acceptable. If Ego was actually operating in any country in the Med, they would be shut within a month.

Great service from Ben whilst celebrating my dad's birthday. Calm and understanding with multiple dietary requirements. Thanks very much

Had a lovely meal here for my birthday. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was wonderful! Had a birthday voucher for a free 3 course meal so made it fantastic value for money too!

Ben was absolutely fantastic and a really good waiter. We were very much happy to have him.

Brilliant evening. Food was fantastic and our waiter, Ben, was great.

Ben was really polite, helpful and efficient. Fantastic ambassador for the restaurant!!

We went to try afternoon tea before making a booking fir a group of 18. Afternoon tea must be booked so we booked several days in advance. 2pm is the earliest time and we booked it because we had to do school run some miles away. Arriving just before 2pm we were served a small pot of tea quite quickly. At 2.30 I asked how much longer we would be waiting for food as we had to leave at 2.55. The maitre d' said it was bring plated at that moment. At 2.45 I asked for it to be boxed as a takeaway. We finally left, very stressed, at 2.55 with a collection of boxes. The price was reasonable but the food was very ordinary. Two small, nasty fried ball, one fish, one of dubious content, 3 soggy sandwiches, 3 tiny bits of strange cakes and a reasonable scone with quality cream and jam. We won't be making the party booking.

I know it’s the Christmas season but do not take so many bookings that you can’t give a reasonable service. Table was booked for 7pm for 4 people. Ordered food at 7.15 still no food at 8.40! We left without eating. Completely ruined our Christmas night out.

Had to change from a 5* review, I ate here again for the second time and the food was bordering inedible.

Bit of a delay with desert, otherwise all was good

Lovely, pleasant outside seating area in the sun, excellent food, really. happy to return.

We have never been before but came after a recommendation from a friend. We have a great meal and our server Ben couldn’t have been better. He was attentive, polite, helpful and just an all round lovely guy

Had a great evening tonight, food was brill and our waiter Ben was spot on! Very professional and very polite! A credit to the restaurant!

Wife and friend meet-up. Food good albeit small portions, not cheap. Ambience good.

Ben was friendly, helpful and efficient. Great service. Would definitely recommend x x x

We spent here an evening with some work colleagues and had a really wonderful night. As we had ordered the courses upfront everything was sorted out and we could enjoy the meals and ourselves. There was only one issue with one ordered lamb Dinner which turned out to be a vegetarian meal instead and even after he returned it, my colleague again received a vegetarian version of it... The food was very good and the portions had exactly the right size for us - nobody was hungry anymore nor "overfilled". As we sat in front of the partly open kitchen we could also enjoy the action going on in there. Happy to go there again when I am around the area next time. One last Advice: Do not miss out on the Crumble - it was so delicious! 😋

Lovely atmosphere, great food and good cocktails! Served by a lovely well mannered young man Ben :)

Our server Ben was absolutely fantastic very polite and attentive to our table!

Lovely evening with great service from Ben. Thank you

Not like our last great visit. Cold, bland food. Poor service. Short on staff.

Always enjoy the food here. Very nice staff and a great menu selection. Good deal on a Wednesday too.

Ben was a fantastic Waiter, very attentive. Had a pepperoni Pizza which was delicious. Everything came out fast and hot ! Will come again

We had lunch on a busy Friday afternoon and There were only 2 servers, Adriane & Jody. They were rushed off their feet but were brilliant. The girl behind the bar was very busy as well and did brilliant too. Why was there only two people serving? The food was lovely and the chefs should be commended. We love Ego’s.

Ben, our server was a delight, if it wasnt for him im not confident id be as eager to return to the place. Thanks again ben for helping to make it such a wonferful and memorable evening!

Pretentious but basically a pub that's trying to be gastro ,I asked for rump steak medium to well and received a rare steak ,a few chips in a bucket and a 🍅, tbh the staff were very attentive but I've had better food in a witherspoon

went for dinner with family, such a lovely meal - we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food and it tasted brilliant, very well paced & great atmosphere! will definitely be returning in the future. thank you to ben who served us & sorted our bill - he was very polite & professional :)

Our waiter Ben was great, he provided goid efficient service and very polite and helpful.

Brilliant food and great atmosphere and Ben our server was fantastic at his job

I received a birthday email, offering me a free meal to celebrate. We decided to visit on Sunday 27th October, a couple of days after my birthday. On checking the website, we could see availability every 15 minutes throughout the afternoon so decided to drive over as walk ins. When we (table of 2) advised we didn't have a booking, the guy on the front desk advised us he was very busy. He advised us that we would need to turn the table around pretty fast. He repeated he was busy and we would need to leave by 14:30. Not a problem for us as it was 12:30, but the greeting was not what we expected. I told him that I had a birthday voucher, as the email advised to do so. This received no reaction. The guy grabbed 2 menus and ushered us to follow him to a table. We were not asked about menu or dietary requirements. We were not advised on any offers or deals or restrictions regarding the voucher we had. The bar tender placed a jug of water on our table as soon as we sat down. I again advised that we had the birthday voucher and enquired about how to use it. He went away and spoke to the guy that would serve us. The bar tender confirmed we couldn't have the Sunday lunch on offer and needed to order from the a la carte menu. I checked the menu and couldn't see any allergy advice on the main menu, so made my way to the bar for a NGCI menu as gluten makes me ill. We both ordered from the NGCI menu, so I can share my wife's food (she is not gf) the guy that the bar tender checked our birthday voucher restrictions with, came over and took our drink order. Then he took our food order. A different guy served our food. No reference to allergy requirements was made up to this point. We ate and our plates were cleared by a lady, training another lady. She asked if we wanted dessert, we said yes and my wife confirmed the need for a NGCI menu for me. We ordered dessert with the food server and as he was prepping to bring it over, came to check the order as my wife's order was gluten containing. At this point I confirmed this was correct, as I was the only one with the allergy issue and the starter and main were ordered that way in order to share food. Once we finished our dessert, I asked for the bill from the lady who cleared our main plates but our dessert plates were not cleared at this point. It took 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared by our food server. Still no bill. Once the bill was presented, no birthday discount was showing, so I showed the voucher again. The lady seemed a little bemused by this, took the voucher code and went back to the till. She presented a new bill and advised how much had been taken off with the voucher. We paid and left. We interacted with 5 members of staff (not including the trainee) 4 of which were aware of our voucher. At no point was my birthday referenced. This was our 6th visit to Ego, 5th to this venue. We are unlikely to visit again due to the poor customer service outlined.

Adriane was the most amazing host for the evening. Food was lovely and so was the drinks. Perfect for a large booking, very well organised.

Took ages for the food to come out after the starter, wasn't that good when it did drinks are very expensive.

First time here, definitely won't be the last! Service and general atmosphere was lovely, and the food was incredible. Very good value for money. Thank you to Ben & the team 😊

Place and service have alway been good. Recently we’ve experienced hit and miss food quality. Also to note is the mini pudding was embarrassingly small and we’ve heard the same from others.

Had a great date night with my wife, the atmosphere was really good and the service was friendly. The food was exceptional! A pizza that is up there with the Italians! Lamb koftas were delicious, and my wife loved her lamb dish. Well worth the money. Will be back again.

Service was slow but the food was nice

Have dined at Ego many many times but at our latest visit the food was absolutely perfect. (Duo of Pork and Lamb steak) Absolutely delicious 😋 and the service was brilliant as always.

Was a birthday meal enjoyed the food and the staff was good will come again Leah was very good waitress and made it a good experience

Monday evening 19.30 Left to stand for 10 minutes to be told sorry we don’t accept walk-ins…. That’s the first time I’ve heard that considering we did it last month. wouldn’t mind but he place was half empty… we won’t be back…

Food was absolutely beautiful. Cocktails was amazing. Will definitely be visiting again.

The food and the service were outstanding

The staff were excellent and the food delicious!!

Very nice Sunday roast followed by Lemon torte, friendly staff a pleasant experience.

Waiters and waitresses are excellent but an unacceptably long delay in getting food. Starters took around 45 mins with another 45mins for mains, one of which failed to arrive at all. When we chased it, they then discovered they had run out. A discount was made in recompense, but overall the delay made it a not-very-good experience.

I took my parents and uncle and aunt to celebrate my mums birthday and the team were so attentive and helpful for my mums mobility needs. Big shout out for Jody and Adrianne specifically for making my family feel special.

Lovely food really good service Good atmosphere

Excellent, as always. A quiet Sunday evening out for two to celebrate a birthday. All food choices were 10/10, service was quick and attentive though not intrusive. Can’t fault this place.

we went for Sunday dinner had 3 courses for 25 pounds every dish was delicious couldn't fault

Excellent food, welcoming staff and a lovely ambiance 👍😃

What an awful evening we had! Started off the evening with incorrect drinks being bought to the table twice. Our main courses took forever to come out and when they did 7 out of 8 meals were awful. The pizza was raw. The potato’s on the lamb dish were that hard they could have broke a tooth. The chicken and chorizo kebab had barely any meat on it. The moroccan lamb contained barely any lamb as well and the other contents of the meal was dry. Talking of dry the paella has been sat under the light that long the rice had gone crispy!! Then the sea bass was very salty and the sauce on top was bland as anything no flavour whatsoever! We booked this for a birthday meal and was left absolutely disappointed. Will never ever return.

Took an hour an half for main meals and took too long for drinks to come to the table after ordering. But the staff were friendly and polite.

The food was delicious, only issue was with the leng of time it took to bring the dessert, my husband's arrived before anyone else and he has finished his well before ours turned up.

It was my birthday so we decided to go and see what it was like as we only live close by. We always thought it was just a cocktail bar and only recently found out about the restaurant. Lovely place and atmosphere, friendly knowledgeable staff and the food was delicious. Great to find somewhere that serves different dishes and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be going again and more often.

Food was absolutely incredible and such a good Monday offer on. Service could have been a bit quicker with drinks and a bit more attentive to match the food standard but really good night we’ll be back Thankyou :)

Came for my birthday meal and we had issues with the pre order systems as we could not find the meals on there that we wanted (we were aware that it was a different menu). The restaurant wasn’t very busy and it was very slow with getting drinks and ordering our food. Food was very nice however not very warm (we had roast dinners) and usually they have been a bit warmer. We paid a deposit for this table and this wasn’t taken from the final bill and we had to go back not long after to get deposit money back. Little bit disappointing as we have never usually had any problems there.

absolutely 1st class, food, drink and service.

Fabulous meal, kind and friendly staff who were very attentive.

Birthday meal starter good calamari main was a lamb rump disappointed came in 3 slices and slightly chewy and fatty not what i would class as a lamb rump my husbands meal was fine

Good atmosphere and polite service. Rump steak very tough and chewy, although nicely cooked. Replaced it with an underweight and grizzly sirloin steak - also tough. At £22.00, poor quality meat and cheap vegetables- rocket, one large mushroom, and large tasteless onion rings, means a poor experience and terrible value.

Great food as always, the Wednesday offer means it’s great value too. Service last night was excellent, special thanks to Ben for liking after us so well.

Fantastic food 😋 Fantastic staff 😀. Thank you to Adriane the perfect supervisor and host

We visited Ego as a big group and so pre-ordered and paid a deposit. The staff were so great, the food was lovely and mostly all came out together. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for group bookings.

We really enjoyed our anniversary meal here. The restaurant was quite full which gave it a lovely atmosphere. The service was excellent and the food was good. Would definitely come here again.

Thanks for a very good experience. Full marks to Ben who was excellent in taking us to our table and bringing us our bill at the end. He was VERY pleasant. Made great eye contact and had an engaging smile. He is destined to be highly effective in customer services in whatever retail/commercial role. Ego would be crazy if they didn’t put him on a management trainee programme and paid him properly.

Nice decor and kind staff. What else could you ask for!

Had a very pleasant and good value lunch . Staff friendly and helpful at all times x

Always a fabulous evening at Ego. Food was so tasty & hot, a great choice of menu & drinks. Our waiter Angus was very friendly & attentive, a shame it was his last evening but he has been a credit to the company. Well done Ego Nuneaton!

Cannot say how amazing our evening was!!! The staff, the food and how all of the staff looked after us was incredible-they were 10/10 and for saying there was 24 of us all the meals came out together and hot. Thank you once again for doing an amazing job & looking after us so well xxx

Angus our waiter was extremely helpful and polite. My wife is wheat, yeast and egg white intolerant so the vegetarian menu was extremely useful.

The service is not good and food is not the best 😕

The menu never changes which is dull to start with. The food was quite greasy. Worst was the draft beer - both Ubu and Mad Goose - tasted awful - do your managers know how to keep beer and clean your pipes??? I suspect not!

Great food and service as always. Special shoutout to Ash for his service.

Great service for a large party and flexibility shown to our needs. Food was very nice too!

Great food, lovely staff and a lovely clean friendly atmosphere. Angus was friendly and polite and was on the ball if we needed drinks etc. Had a brilliant time and worth every penny spent.

Food was amazing and Angus our server was great and very attentive.

Best place to go for food in Nuneaton, lovely staff, recommended

Food was good, not enough meat in the Moroccan lamb No warning the build your was build your own on table, other child upset they didn’t get to build pepperoni pizza Service was terrible, had to request more drinks from staff not being around When I did ask someone he was very rude and in front of me ordered another member of staff to do it. Then nearly dropped the drink when he delivered it

Good food, and great service - Angus in particular is lovely!

Always lovely. Staff so pleasant

Service took too long as they dropped food No taste in paella

It’s our favourite place to go to! Never had a bad experience and it’s always a pleasure to dine here! Special mention to Hannah (i hope i did spell it right), she’s been our waitress a couple of times and she’s always so friendly and pleasant, big shout out to her 😊

Sorry won't be going back there for Sunday lunch again, overall experience very poor...

We had reservations for a Saturday night early evening. It was mildly busy, with plenty of staff. From beginning to end took forever. We waited to get our drink orders in, waited for drinks to arrive and lack of a few, waited more, waited to get order in, waited for an appetizer, waited so very very long for our mains. The meal was fresh and nice, but the visit didn’t need to take 3 hrs.

Megan who was working on the night, she said she normally worked at the Shrewsbury restaurant, was amazing. She helped sort out pre-orders, juggled numbers and moved tables, she couldn't do enough for our large group of 11. Angus the waiter was also very friendly and kept everyone topped up with drinks. We used my 20% discount code and were extremely happy with the quality of the food.

Excellent food, lovely Cosmopolitan cocktails, polite and helpful staff and very reasonably priced. One of the best meals I have had for a long time.

Had the mixed kebab skewer, the wraps were stuck to the hot plate so as I tried to remove it the kebab went everywhere Why not serve it properly on a plate In the mix of it a poor old lady fell over on the wet floor

Great evening. Great service from Angus.

We had a lovely night with great service from Angus. Very attentive to our large party. The Moroccan lamb was Delicious

Lovely food, fab service from Angus

Great evening with really good service

Fantastic service and the meal was delicious could not fault anything

Great place to come and eat and I enjoyed it.

We 13 in a group had Afternoon Teas last week. The waitress Jody was ever so nice and very helpful. We have booked a table for Xmas meal so hopefully to have Jody again! Thank you x

Lovely birthday family meal, served by Angus. Excellent service with a smile and even a song! Well done Team Cedar Tree.

Service was really nice and the place had a good atmosphere. Food was quite nice however slightly greasy. I will be back to experiment more dishes on the menu

excellent day, food superb, went a few months ago not great, but this time excellent, couldn't fault it

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The ambiance is lovely. The food choices are great and were delicious too

Went for lunch today with husband I don't use the word excellent very often but food and service was today as it normally is .Ego is our favourite restaurant. Thankyou to all the staff see you soon .

Angus was brilliant, extremely helpful and efficient, very knowledgeable regarding allergy specifics. Food was lovely. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Had a lovely time this afternoon for Sunday Roast! All the staff were brilliant, Ben was very attentive and helpful! This is our second visit and we are looking forward to next time ☺️👌🏽

Had a lovely meal out at Ego, the food was absolutely outstanding and the service was second to none. Want to say a special thank you to Angus who went above and beyond to make our evening special. There were some children running around which was slightly annoying which we didn’t expect at gone 9pm on a Saturday night but the staff did try and rectify this situation. Overall a lovely visit and we will be back
