Smiths Bistro in Wigan

Booked for my daughters 21st Birthday and wasn’t disappointed service and presentation excellent and the food was amazing

What a lovely little place this bistro is! Located just on the outskirts of Leigh town centre, on Chapel Street, it really is a hidden gem! We visited tonight for the first time to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday and it scored full marks all around. In fact, I had one of the best desserts to date there- a toffee, caramel & banana parfait! Delicious! I would highly recommend Smith’s to anybody wanting a small, friendly, select place with tasty food and excellent service. Due to this being a special evening & requiring 12 seats, I decided to pre-book our table- Angela (the owner) responded to my enquiries quickly & efficiently via e-mail. She was incredibly accommodating of all requests made- nothing was too much trouble! The setting was personal & welcoming, the staff were attentive & pleasant, the food hot & fresh, plus you can take your own drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Smith’s and will definitely return again shortly...

This was our first time visiting Smiths Bistro & what a little gem of a restaurant it is. The second we walked through the door we were greeted by friendly attentive staff. We were seated promptly & asked how many ‘Mothers’ were dining ? I was then given a complimentary glass of Prosecco which was a lovely touch. The restaurant have a ‘bring your own’ as regards to alcohol so we had arrived with Prosecco & wine. The Prosecco was immediately put in a cooler for us & wine glasses / champagne flutes distributed to the individuals who required them. Soft drinks are available to purchase & the younger members of our party were served with those. The menu isn’t too extensive however, I prefer that. There’s nothing worse than endless pages of non descript dishes, Smiths have a selection of quality dishes to cater for all tastes. As we were a group of 6 we all tried different selections off the menu & all our Starters / Main Courses / Desserts were absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were perfect & food was presented beautifully. The price of food & drinks are extremely reasonable. This may have been our first visit but it most certainly won’t be our last. We have found a new local ‘go to’ eaterie no matter what the occasion. Thankyou Smiths for making my Mother’s Day treat that more special.

First time visiting Smiths, Food was very nice could not fault it at all. Staff very helpful and friendly. Downside was it was very cold in the restaurant, we did ask for the radiator to be switched on,which it was but just for a few minuets. it did really spoil our evening.

Cannot fault this place, fantastic food and service, a real gem, would recommend without hesitation.

Smiths is a small but friendly bistro and I would recommend booking in advance as it is very popular. The food and staff are great and none of our party had any complaints. Don't forget to bring your own drinks!

Booked smiths bistro for my 60th birthday celebration with 24 friends and family We had the restaurant to ourselves because of the party size which made the night extra special. The food, service and staff was spot on, nothing was to much trouble everybody had a fantastic time especially my 5 year old grandson because of the way staff included him in things through out the evening. Communication from initial booking to the evening was brill which meant the evening ran smoothly Looking forward to my next.

Went as a family party celebrating a wedding anniversary. The party had s selection of starters and main courses - i had creamed mushrooms on garlic bread and stroganoff from the special menu but across the party we had a wide selection. Everyone enjoyed the food. It's always a lovely intimate atmosphere as the place is small. The service was great the staff are lovely and friendly. It's 'take ur own drinks' and the champagne, beers and wines were served on request. Had a really lovely evening. Will definitely go again.

My family and I booked this restaurant on Saturday. Each person in the group really enjoyed every course...the food was fantastic quality and well presented. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Was here for a wedding reception recently and was blown away by the food. Every course that everyone on our table had was delicious. They even prepared a GF version of the same food we had so everybody could eat the same meal. The staff couldn't have been any more helpful and the chef pulled it out of the bag preparing all the meals perfectly. All in all one of the best wedding reception meals I have ever had. Thoroughly recommended.

Always a pleasure to spend an evening at Smiths...lovely,food,brilliant staff,great atmosphere ....never disappoints.

We have eaten at Smiths several times and each We leave very happy. The food is superb, the staff can’t do enough for You. You can bring Your own alcohol. It’s one of our go to restaurants when We plan or recommend somewhere for a party as nothing has ever disappointed us. 👍🏻.

I was at Smiths tonight with friends...my second visit and it was lovely.The food is very good..nicely served and there are very few restaurants in this area that actually prepare and cook from scratch...nothing bought in and the menu is delightful.

We booked for 28 of us so had the whole place. Every single meal was cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and faultless nothing was too much trouble. A perfect bistro that I would highly recommend

Recently visited Smiths for a birthday celebration and had a great time. The food was delicious, really enjoyed the duck main course. The atmosphere was lovely and the restaurant had gone the extra mile to make it a special birthday celebration. Enjoyed the fact that you could take your own drinks. Would definitely visit again.

We visited Smith’s in March 2017 & May 2017 for our wedding reception which was organised very efficiently of which our family were impressed.

The food is really tasty. And very well priced. Everything was cooked well, the pork loin was delicious. And the lemon drizzle cheesecake. ...... oooh it's god! I can't fault anything!

I have been to Smiths many many times. Never been disappointed. Just perfect. Clean, good atmosphere can't go wrong.

Visited Smiths Bistro on Saturday night with close family to celebrate my husbands birthday and what a fantastic evening we had. The food and service was second to none and was exceptional. The Bistro is run very professionally by Angela and her husband is an AMAZING Chef. Everyone in our party was so impressed by the standard of the food which was served piping hot and with a smile. This place is such a gem and if you have not visited yet, you don't know what you are missing.

We had a lovely meal , the menu has something for everyone, a carefully selected menu, very well presented cuisine. The menu is £26 for three courses great value and delicious. The restaurant does not have a liquor license so it's bring your own alcohol, this of course means you can take along a bottle of your favourite wine or two. Very pleasant evening and the tables yours for the evening.

Como los comentarios anteriores han señalado, este es un relativamente pequeño pero enorme en carácter establecimiento. Viajamos millas para visitar este lugar con unos amigos que se están convirtiendo en asiduos! bastante Angela en frente de la casa es sin duda muy amable y proporciona una buena bienvenida.

We booked Smiths for my parents in law Golden Wedding celebration on the 11th June. The whole day was absolutely perfect, Angela and the team could not do enough to help and any request we had was met positively. The food was fantastic and I have attached a picture of the detail they went to, to make the day memorable. I cannot recommend Smiths highly enough, We have been several times for meals and this was one of the reasons we booked as it held our party of 25 comfortably.We brought our own alcohol and Angela prepared the Pimms for arrival drinks for us and ensured all our other drinks were refrigerated ready for everyone arriving.An excellent day and everyone has complimented on the great venue, food and service.

My husband and I held our wedding lunch in May 2017 in Smith's Bistro. We booked the whole restaurant as we wanted a private intimate lunch for our family. Angela and staff dressed the Bistro beautifully, with large bows on the chairs, table flowers. Even placed tags for 'the bride and groom' message on the tables. With a tree behind the cake for these to be placed on. Our wedding pictures were also placed around the room. All of this amazing detail was done by Angela and staff the night before. I hadn't asked for this service, so were surprised and thrilled as it was perfect when we arrived before our guests. We were so proud of the venue. Angela and staff poured glasses of Prosecco (BYOB) for us to greet our guests with and also took photographs for us. Food orders had been placed prior to the day. Food - starters, main courses and desserts were amazing as always. It's such a great menu and the food was delicious and presented beautifully. Great menu choices which makes it hard to choose from. Before sitting at our tables I confirmed with Angela where everyone was seated. All meals were served efficiently and everyone was really impressed with the quality of the the food. We have been before which is why we were so pleased to be able to book it for our reception. We have wonderful memories and pictures of our wedding lunch. We can't thank Angela, Steve and staff enough for being so thoughtful and so organised. It's all in the detail and the hard work of Smith's Bistro who made our day so special. This is a gem of a restaurant in Leigh, long may it continue and prosper. We can't wait to go back again and try the new menus.

I found this bistro through google and having read the reviews on Tripadvisor, I decided to book. My husband and I were not disappointed. The food is beautifully presented and is very tasty. The Bistro is small and could be noisy if the other diners are 'loud'. However this would not put us off from going back, because the staff are very nice and the food as already stated is delicious.

This was our second visit to this restaurant.It provides hIgh quality food at an affordable price.The restaurant offers an intimate dining experience.Very sociable host and chef, Angela and Steven.BYOB for added value!Would definitely recommend and we will return when in the area next time.

Went for a special. Birthday. About 25 of us. Service was great and they really looked after us. Take your own beer and wine. Lovely food. Good menu choice Would recommend. Will be going back

This is a little gem of a restaurant hidden away in the town centre. We visited with a party of 20 of varying ages for an 80th birthday meal. Food is really good and everyone enjoyed it. We had the place to ourselves and filled it as it is only small, but perfect for our party. Angela and co really looked after us. We took our own balloons and bunting, which we didn't actually need to as Angela can provide it. As you take your own drinks, it wasn't a problem dropping them off the day before, to save you taking them on the day. Service was great and was adjusted for a couple of people who were late and for part of the family who had to leave early. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. All in all a great day, with great food and well looked after...................looks like my wife and I will have to try it on our own now!

First visit lovely little place served by lovely lady food was superb we tried seabass, steak and lamb all amazingStarters and desserts equally scrumptious Would definitely go again soon hopefully, made for small family gatherings or intimate meal for two suited for all, owners were so friendly Thankyou to them for memorable evening

Lovely little restaurant. Quite expensive but worth it. The steaks are to die for. Great service very personal little place.

Wonderful little find, Intimate, professional, organised and delicious food.Would highly recommend this beautiful little family fun restaurant. Angela is very helpful and the staff are all very friendly and professional!

We went last Christmas & also this year. Excellent freshly prepared food with good flavour & great value for money.

Visited Smiths on the 27th November on a very cold night. However the warm welcome soon made us feel cosy. A fantastic meal for five of us which we all enjoyed. Can recommend the black pudding starter which I had followed by roasted pork belly which was mouth watering. Make no mistake we will be back to go through the rest of the menu.

Didn't know this restaurant was in Leigh but will definitely be going again. Service good and really enjoyed the food. The only problem is if you don't want a 3 course meal there isn't another option. Would definitely recommend.

This was our third visit this year, I booked a table online as I always have. We were warmly welcomed by Bailey who has a great talent of being attentive but not intrusive. Each time we have visited this hidden gem of Leigh we have taken a different group of family and friends, 10 up to now, and never has anyone been disappointed. The quality of food is tremendous, the only issue we all ever have is deciding just what to choose, you could just say 'bring us whatever you want' and you know it will be amazing!! Keep up the good work Stephen, Angela and your team you truly have a winning formula.

Booked on line well in advance. On arrival met with what can only be described a bemusement when I said we had a reservation for 3. So I said I had an email confirmation, more bemused looks, followed by moving of tables to make a table big enough for 3. We were then pretty much ignored for 5-10 minutes whilst the staff seemed to be more interested in their phones/iPads. Maybe looking to see if I was telling the truth about the reservation? I don't know we never found out. Eventually our orders were taken and food arrived reasonably quickly, preceded by some random and not particularly nice appetisers/amuse Bouche. The food was, with the exception of my sons starter bland, steaks were tasteless and veg very small portion for 3 people. Desserts average. Service was just not very good. It's a while since we last came here and throughout the meal i remembered why,- it's really noisy, not sure if it is the acoustics in the room or just really loud customers but just does not make for a pleasant experience. I had read lots of good reviews prior to booking but our experience was lacklustre at best.

What a gem! This place is aAmazing, small and very personal.The food ingredients is of the highest quality, we had the steak and my god it has to be one of the best meals I have ever had!! We Will be a regular customers!!

After visiting three times now I thought it was time for a review. This is the best restaurant in the area with the food and service being excellent.The range of food on offer with a frequently changing menu with specials is great, my fillet steak was fantastic and the price of £26.50 for three courses (supplement charges for a couple of things, i.e. Steaks) is a really good deal, in fact we commented that you would pay nearly that for a three course meal in one of the local grotty pubs! You can take your own alcohol and there are no corkage charges which is also a brilliant idea.I would def recommend this little gem and it is a great asset to Leigh. I am looking forward to the next visit.

Wow what can i say!Working long hours we like to make sure we make time for a treat night together. We accidently came across this absolutely wonderful bistro. Staff were wonderfully attentive and really made our experience perfect. I struggle with a bad dairy intolerance, which can limit my choices greatly!I was absolutely thrilled and greatful with the alternatives that were offered too me. So delicious and suprised by the additional appertisers they created for us prior to our starter. What a wonderful experience!Massive appreciation from us both!Greatly reccomend for anybody that would like an incredible and personal dining experience.

This restaurant is great we have been twice and loved it on both occasions, even though the restaurant is small, it is intimate and great for couples. There is a set menu and it is a BYO so you know exactly were you stand with money. The food was beautiful and the kitchen is open so you can see the chef cooking it. The table is yours for the evening so you don't feel rushed. A great experience.

My family and I visited Smiths to celebrate 2 birthdays in August. Eight of us dined at this lovely bistro. Excellent food, served by attentive friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. a cosy atmosphere. We all had a variety of different dishes from the well planned menu and everyone was more than delighted with their choice. Well done Stephen, Angela and team, keep up the good work, we will be back to visit you soon.

son had wedding meal here on Friday 12th August. we were meet and greeted by lovely outstanding staff nothing was a problem for them at all. every think from start to finish was outstanding .and for the meal what can one say it was beautiful it was so nice it all stood out fantastic so would like to thank them all for making my sons wedding day spot on .so I would like too thank you Angela and Steven martin for the wonderful meal and service you and your staff did .from carls mam stepdad sister grandma and his two uncles thank you very much

First visit to this bistro and it won't be my last, Angela and the staff we're absolutely brilliant with the service,and the meal was superb. Had to put up with 22 ladies on a party night but that just added to the atmosphere (ha ha).Great place.

This place is truly amazing and should be on everyone's bucket list. There's a very warm and personal feel to the place, with the staff being extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is the best I have ever tasted from all corners of the world, honestly it's absolutely exquisite and the presentation is on par with the expectations of a Michelin star restaurant. And to top it off, it's reasonable - first class food and service at economy price .... I will be a definite regular here.

What a gem! This place is aAmazing, small and very personal.The food ingredients is of the highest quality, we had the steak and my god it has to be one of the best meals I have ever had!! We Will be a regular customers!!

I have visited this family run bistro on two occasions. I was so impressed with the first visit with friends I booked for my son's 18th birthday. The food is excellent and good value for money, the service is second to none and they certainly aim to please. Nothing is too much trouble, even providing little extras to ensure the atmosphere is celebratory. Free corkage keeps the cost down and all this without staff being too intrusive.I fully recommend Smith's for all occasions.

Can't beat a nice cozy family run restaurant. Service was second to none couldn't do enough for us a little on the pricey side but was well worth it . A few more options would be nice .

This was our first time here and cant believe we haven't been sooner! The presentation of the food was excellent and really delicious. Loved the fact we could choose our own tables and the canopies were a real treat. Staff were very attentive and the cosy ambience was superb. Well worth a visit.

A lovely little restaurant with a very good menu. We were greeted upon arrival and offered a choice of seating. We liked the dining area and the view of an open kitchen. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I also liked the idea of one sitting. The food was perfection, a nice little intro of crosstini' breads and dips while we chose our food. The three courses with a little side order of veg with the main course was enough for us. A great evening of fine dining and will definitely return.

Lovely intimate small restaurant, well looked after and staff attentive. However I thought the starter was lukewarm and not hot enough for me.

Lovely food, well presented in very nice surroundings. Plenty of choice and staff very pleasant. Maybe a few more veg could have been offered, but otherwise an excellent night out.

We ate a lovely meal here tonight. Standards kept high as not an over elaborate menu. Three course set meal with 6 or 7 starters, same mains and same nbr of deserts with vegetarian choices. Everything that came from the open kitchen looked amazing. Only 2 staff in addition to the one chef yet everything ran smoothly. We had the pate (to die for) and I had lamb with my husband having steak for a small supplement. There was no way I could fit dessert in but packing it up for me to take away was no trouble at all. We will definitely return.

We just visited Smiths on Valentine's weekend, but have been to Smiths umpteen times. I'm only sorry that I've not taken the time to review previously. I'm prompted because in my opinion this restaurant should be ranked at #1 and I'm amazed at some of the establishments that unjustly have a higher ranking. Angela and Steven deliver a fantastic dining experience and go out of their way to accommodate.The food is delicious, service impeccable. There is a great ambience and you can bring your own wine/drinks.The attention to detail is fantastic and I know how hard they work and how much dedication they put into their restaurant. I've noticed some picky reviews eg would have preferred my wine to be cooled or a jug of iced water would have been nice. Irritating, because Angela would have gone out of her way to accommodate if the person had just opened their mouth on the night.They do private functions and take bookings for a 2 or 3 course Sunday lunch (delicious) which is reasonable and costs less than an average takeaway would.If you haven't been, go there as soon as possible!

Cheap and nasty shop bought food re-heated in a microwave is not my idea of a "bistro".Staff looked unkempt and had a "couldn't care less" attitude,the young waitress looked and acted stoned,but being on drugs is probably the only way of dealing with the smell coming from the toilets.I wouldn't dream of recommending this dive to anybody and wouldn't give the food to my dog.

Our first trip to Smith's and certainly won't be the last. The food was absolutely lovely, a great atmosphere, and fab service.

Had a fab meal last weekend with some friends, a great laugh, great food and great customer service from Bailey and Holly! They couldn't do enough for us, they were always smiling and dropped whatever they were doing to provide for us! Credits to the chef for a fabulous meal. Definitely will return!

7 of us had lunch on Christmas Day at Smith's Bistro and were delighted with the quality of food and service which were excellent. For anyone not wanting the traditional turkey and christmas pudding, there was a full menu to choose from which included venison, steak, salmon and vegetarian options. We've been to Smith's before and will be returning in the future.

All 7 of us really enjoyed our meals. Beautifully presented and delicious. The young waiter was very polite and helpful but unfortunately the young waitress lacked customer service skills.Would have loved for the option of our wine to be kept chilled as other restaurants with the "bring your own" do. A table jug of water would have been nice too. Will definitely return though.

Enjoyed a really good meal here with friends on a Friday night. The bistro is not licensed which enables you to take your own alcohol, definitely a bonus! The staff are friendly and the service was very good. The menu was really good with a great variety of choices, even for someone who doesn't eat red meat We enjoyed it so much that we booked our next visit before leaving. The bistro is quite small so you may need to book early to avoid disappointment.

Been here twice now... Amazing food on both occasions and brilliant service. My new favourite place to eat.

We had never heard of this bistro but some friends who had been previously booked a table and six of us went for Sunday Lunchtime. As we approached we were slightly trepidated because it's located on a pretty ordinary street with terraced houses (not being pretentious we really like Leigh) but once inside what a lovely surprise. It is not very big but this certainly adds to the ambience and the young couple who run it made us feel extremely welcome.The starters,the mains and the desserts were all very tasty and well presented and because you can take your own drinks the overall cost was perfectly acceptable for such a lovely dining experience.

You could drive past this place and not give it a second thought and no doubt many of the people of Leigh and the surrounding area have done just that.Smiths is a small bistro that can accommodate around thirty diners and is sat mid terrace on a one way street.we arrived early Saturday evening, not sure what to expect. The menu is fixed price for three courses with a good selection of starters, mains and desserts with a small specials board with some items such as filet steak attracting a premium. The bistro offers limited soft drinks and encourages people to bring their own drink which they are happy to refrigerate and serve to you. The restaurant quickly filled with diners that have obviously visited before because of their familiarity with the 'bring your own drinks' policy.The food was excellent, and the service was swift. The fact that you can see into the kitchen adds theatre to the experience.This was our first taste of Smiths but we are certainly planning a return visit in the very near future.

This place is a hidden gem! Awesome food, lovely staff, lovely decor!Can't really say anymore than wow! Had a really great meal and great service and we love how you can take your own drinks. They provide glasses.

What a lovely place to have a nice relaxing meal. We visited last night for a wedding anniversary meal and was not disappointed. Each course was beautifully presented and timed perfectly for us to have a drink and relax. One very inconsiderate couple spoilt the evening at the end by being extremely rude and offensive by complaining about the meal, apparently they were French trained chefs????? Not sure you would dine in Leigh if this was the case! All had a giggle at their expense afterwards! Was a lovely meal in a lovely setting and will definatley be returning!

Great food..great service..the owners couldn't do enough for us..good luck for the future I will be going here again soon..

After saying we were going to visit smiths on numerous occasions, we finally decided to go on Saturday night. We were greeted in a friendly manor upon arrival and were given the choice on where we'd like to sit. Angela came over with our wine and presented us with the menu. We quickly chose, and within 10 minutes our starter was served to us. I had cajun chicken and my partner had the fishcake, we split the starters between us and both of them were to die for! Our mains were equally as tasty and Angela was attentive in making sure everything was ok with our meals. We had a twenty minute break before tucking into our deserts, as the previous portions were so big we needed a break before facing afters. We really enjoyed our evening at smiths, the food was the best we've had in a while and the presentation was beautiful. Excellent value for money! Definitely recommend this place to others!

Food was actually top notch. The only issue was the speed of service which was quite slow. There were plenty of staff on at the front of house who spent a lot of time staring into space where as the two kitchen staff were maxed out. This should be reviewed by the proprietor.

We booked months in advance as we were a party of 12, we were asked to pre order whilst such a large group and pay a £5 deposit per person. I don't think the menu must be rotated too much as I was given the menu in April for a June booking so if you were going regularly it may get a bit boring. Also when I went to pay the deposit it was closed and as parking restricted not easy to do, you can do a bank transfer if you ask which much easier.The decor is lovely and an improvement, however the floor is a bit slippy near toilets. The atmosphere is good, staff attentive. The food was really nice, the steaks all cooked as asked, if I was to have any criticism it would have been to have veg instead of salad with the steak. We had a really lovely evening, however this was marred by the fact a few days before we went a couple had to drop out, which I informed restaurant of this on the wed along with the cancelled food, when they brought the bill we were still charged the £10 deposit for this couple, given that we spent £300 I think this could have been waived and will definitely make all of us think twice about returning as its not very good customer relations. Especially as the restaurant was full to the brim so I'm not sure where they would have put another two people. Definitely a bit of short sightedness fir the sake of £10.

I haven't been to this restaurant for about 12 years (since it was Hart's), but I can guarantee that we will be going back a lot sooner this time. From the moment we arrived, Angela made us feel more than welcome and boy, can Stephen cook. As an avid meat fan, it always concerns me that I have to send steak back more often than not, due to it being over-cooked. Not so here. Stephen got the steak absolutely perfect. Not only that, but everything that we are was perfect, from the amuse-bouche, right through to the desserts. I don't write many reviews, but I felt that I HAVE to write this, in support of a local restaurant, having had such an amazing meal. It was far better than most of the meals that we have travelled 20+ miles for. I have only 2 words of warning for prospective clients:1. Book early. They only have around 25 seats in the whole place. 2. Don't expect stand-offish service. Angela is incredibly friendly (as are all of the staff), and when she has time, she will stop and have a chat with you (if you want it). The other bonus about Smith's is that it's a BYO, which means that you save a lot of money on your drinks. Finally, at between £26 and £35 a head for all 3 courses, I don't think you can beat it for value either. I'm already looking forward to heading back.

This was our first visit to Smiths, we ended up sitting in the window which was a god spot. We took our own wine and port.The service was spot on, not in your face rushing you but great timing. We arrived at 8 and left at 1. The 4 courses where well presented and cooked to perfection. We will return very soon

Had an amazing time food an service was the best I ever had always made sure everything was fine best place in leigh very friendly read another review and is not true

My husband decided we would go here for lunch on a whim and I wasn't disappointed. The food was lovely even though we both agreed slightly overpriced for a lunch time menu, however we would be more than happy to pay that for an evening meal. Perhaps the lunch and dinner menu are the same. Would be even nicer if it was licensed to sell alcohol. Food, presentation and service were all good.

We took over Smiths Bistro for my wife's birthday party. We were very pleased with the welcome given to us. We had excellent service and the food was very good. All the guests were more than impressed and send our thanks to the owners and staff. We will be returning in the future.

We booked Smiths for a group of couples, 6 of us in total. It was a get together to celebrate birthdays and we were really looking forward to it. As my sister and I are both vegetarian, after receiving the menu, we asked Angela if there were any other options for the main course as the ones on the menu didn't really appeal to us. I did ask whether we could make our own suggestion and Angela was very accommodating to this and agreed that we could. I came up with home made ravioli with roasted vegetables and a side salad and Angela kindly agreed to this as a main course and I thanked her for her flexibility in allowing us to choose. When we arrived we received a nice welcome and Angela came to take our orders and again, I thanked her for accommodating us. She then informed me that the vegetarian main was spinach and ricotta tortellini. I didn't comment on the change of meal as I thought I would wait to see what it was like. We didn't have to wait too long for our starters.and the presentation was well executed on all of the starters. Although, my husband had ordered the Terrine and he did say that it was quite bland. When the main meals arrived I was so disappointed. The tortellini was obviously shop bought and there was a small selection of roasted vegetables which was also quite a let down because Angela had informed me that no reduction was available for the vegetarian options but the portions would compensate for this. This obviously wasn't the case and I just feel a little bit more effort would have made all the difference. The other 4 members of our group had ordered steak and one of the group had asked for well done and it was so rare, she couldn't eat it. We therefore asked if it could be cooked for longer and the meal was replaced with a new one but that meant a wait for my friend whilst we ate ours and a deduction in price was offered, so that was appreciated. Overall, we did enjoy the evening but that was because we enjoyed getting together, rather than the food that was on offer. The food we received didn't enthuse us to return, especially as the vegetarian option was a total let down, which really irritates me as we pay the same price and receive very little in comparison when it comes to purchase price for meat products. It is a shame we were disappointed, as it would have been good to have somewhere local for us all to get together on a regular basis and we would have visited again if a little bit more effort had have been made.

Table of ten last night, we pre ordered and have to say the food was amazing, excellent service and presentation, will definitely be returning

second visit here but first under the new management food was fantastic my stake perfect and the lamb also brilliant will be going back for sure and please keep up the good work and btw standards haven't slipped see you soon graham and Fran clarke x

Completely disagree with the previous reviews, we visited and found the food to be absolutely delicious, medium-rare steak cooked to perfection and lovely presentation, staff very attentive and couldn't do more for us!

Four of us went on a Saturday evening. Two of us ordered lamb, it was a strange grey colour and so hard that one of us sent it back, it was inedible and looked like it had been microwaved.One of us ordered a side order of mushrooms they looked microwaved as well. The sticky toffee pudding was a very dry ginger sponge without sauce. Two women diners had a stand up argument with very colourful language, this didn't help our evening. The staff were friendly and didn't charge us for the mushrooms or lamb. I emailed the restaurant with my concerns but unfortunately they have not replied. I won't be going again and won't recomment this place to anyone. As they have not replied to my email I presume they are not interested in their new venture so it will soon be closed down.

Booked the whole restaurant out for my wife's birthday - 26 covers.Really looked after us , presentation very good , food very good , cant really comment on 2 previous listings - we all had a great time ; the owners deserve to do well here - I am sure that they will ; will be back.

Appalling service. Tables overbooked. Didn't get our starter until after 9.30pm main course 10.25pm ordered medium steak, came very rare sent it back and wasn't much improved, veg extremely overcooked, potato wedges weren't home made, a drizzle of brown sauce around the rim of the plate (yes seriously) and gone 11pm before dessert came! Also witnessed 6 steaks waiting 10 mins to be served while the waiters went out with cold desserts! Serve the hot food first idiots! Didn't wait for our 4th course as it was almost 11.30pm. Asked for money knocking off as it was way too late to be eating anything else, no joy. Table was booked for 8.30pm by the way. Will never go back and would not recommend it to anyone! £40 pp deserves a far better class of food and service!

Table booked for 8.30pm, only to get there and be told they had overbooked so we were put on a makeshift table in front of the entrance, which was fine apart from cold whenever anyone went in or out! They then seemed to forget about us! Starter finally arrived at around 9.30pm, moved us to a table near the kitchen around 10pm. Main course arrived at 10.25pm only for the veg to be extremely overcooked and the steak rare instead of medium, sent it back but not much improvement! Pretty sure the potato wedges weren't home made but frozen. Also brown sauce drissled around the plate rim (yes seriously)! In the meantime we witnessed 6 steaks sat waiting to be served for 10 mins while the waiter's took out the cold desserts! Serve the hot food first please! We had to ask for steak knives too! Dessert finally arrived after 11pm only to have to wait for utensils again! Didn't stay for the cheeseboard as it would probably have been midnight! Asked for a reduction on bill due to missing 4th course as it was too late to still be eating, no joy. Absolutely atrocious service and extremely unprofessional. Will never go again or recommend it to any friend's or family. Appalled. £40 pp should receive much better service and food!
