The Larder House in Bournemouth

Fantastic Sunday roast , the best in Bournemouth. Staff are brilliant 🤩. Lovely venue

Extremely disappointed with the food and service. If you want a special meal on the high street, go to Dickys

The Larder House is simply my favourite restaurant around, every time I come there is something interesting and unique to try, with the added benefit of a real focus on local produce. Service is super too, and the Library upstairs is the cherry on the cake!

I’ve been coming to Larder House for all of my special occasions since moving to Southbourne. It’s a really intimate cosy spot, perfect for anniversaries / valentine’s day. The food is always unique & tasty. I love the quality of the produce used & that it all comes from super local farms! The service here is also fantastic, the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. (The ramos gin fizz from The Library upstairs is also my all time favourite cocktail)

Booking was a private hire event which was supposed to be in 'The Courtyard' but was later moved to 'The Library'. Full detailed review is on Trip advisor. Biggest issues were they tried to cancel our booking a week before the event as we wouldnt agree to spending extortionate amounts of money on food (around £1000 depending on what we wanted) but this was overcome by moving the event to 'The Library'. Then on the night, they waived the minimum spend due to supposedly not being able to do the cash bar that had been agreed but later in the night tried to tell us that we hadn't hit it and proceeded to increase the cost of the drinks to try and get us to spend more money. (It is unlikely we didn't hit the minimum spend as the drink selection was so poor at the bar we were supposed to be using, most the guests were going to the public bars to get drinks).

I attended a 60th Birthday booked in the upstairs room of this venue to start at 6pm, £300 to hire, no music, and a minimum drink spend of £1,200. It looked very nice. On arrival a cocky bouncer would not allow anyone upstairs at 6:15pm for no apparent reason while grinning at us and being very condescending. When we got upstairs the room was lovely, but the bar was limited, no beers, and when the barman was asked for a beer he said 'does it look like I sell beer', and we had to go downstairs to buy it at an inflated price, which was then not added to the 'minimum spend', only the upstairs bar was added. The 'food' was what I would call leftovers, a bizarre mix of meats and cheese with no crackers. We were also told by the bar staff that only pints, large wines, and double spirits were allowed, for your information this is illegal. There is a 'small measures' mandatory condition on your license and these must be offered, half pints, 125ml, 175ml wines, and 25ml spirits, check your alcohol license I doubt that you have an exemption. The feeling on the night was that they did not want us there, my advice is don't charge for something if you cant deliver, a 60th Birthday is an important event, and some people had travelled hundreds of miles to be there.

Best place to eat on the grove tbh and the staff are absolutely wonderful!

Attended a birthday party on the first floor. Nice room with a small bar and an outside terrace. The staff downstairs on the gound floor were polite, attentive and helpful. However, the staff on the first floor were rude and very unhelpful. The party food was limited and weird. The drinks were very expensive (e.g. £10 for a 125ml glass of house plonk) and their was no draft beer or juice for children. When we went downstairs to purchase draft beer and juice, the upstairs staff tried to prevent us from doing so. The upstairs bar also told us that spirits could only be served as a double measure (which is against the law). Never again.

Wow, the food was amazing and the service top notch. They also have a speak easy like bar above with a mixologist who will cater for any asks. Great place.

Spanish theme tapas with a Dorset twist. Simple but effective dishes with locally sourced produced. Best meal out in ages. Bread is to die for and the meats we had were great.

We are a local family who have been here for Sunday lunch previously (about 4 years ago) and for dinners, but there must've been a change in chef or management, as the quality has taken a nose dive. A group of 7 of us came here for my mother's 70th birthday lunch and left feeling ripped off. For £24 upwards per roast you expect a filling, good quality dinner. The portions were inadequate, the gravy was gloopy (like a Bisto), the food lukewarm, and half the vegetables burnt. Those of us who had beef found much of it to be fat and gristle. They bring a plate of vegetables to share between the table which, once portioned out, provide three TINY roast potatoes per person and we all left hungry. And you have to pay extra for a Yorkshire pudding which, for the price, should be included. We like to support local businesses hence visiting Larder House many times before. Sadly it feels as though they are relying on their (outdated) reputation, have become rather arrogant and no longer care about their customers' experience. Unlike somewhere else local, such as Dickies, who clearly respect their customers and provide a consistent service. I'd recommend Brewhouse for a better roast dinner for around £10 cheaper pp.

What a venue! I loved the relaxed European vibe right in the heart of the high street. The staff were so inviting and friendly, as we enjoyed exploring the fantastic wine list and great atmosphere. We had the Sunday roast after recommendations that its the best on the south-coast and it did not disappoint. The aged beef was perfectly cooked and plenty of well priced side dishes to choose from you will not leave hungry. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

More of a Lada than a Benz. There is nothing better than a traditional Sunday roast in a friendly pub, except cooking it for yourself as it's so subjective. But we were meeting friends and that's the most important part. Usual hiccup, excuse me, about the garlic allergy but sorted out soon enough. The beef plates and one fish were good. Large portions, but our stomachs rose to the challenge. French mustard was not available, oddly, but English sufficed and Waterloo was proved to be not in vain. The peculiar wine menu caused an unintentional order of white rather than red. The explanation of "the black dots on the menu are red" is the best line I have ever heard in a restaurant. To their great credit, however, they readily replaced my glass AND offered me a taster of 2 reds. Well done! My friend decided to stick with the white as alcohol content and glug speed are paramount (I'm kidding). Our server, the enigmaticlly named Rio, was absolutely charming, friendly and delightful. The second lap was yellow-flagged. Mushy, lukewarm crumble and served with ice cream and not creme fraiche as my friend requested. The big downside was the table. Right by a hatch into the kitchen and consequently noisy and smelly. Our clothes provided us with a malodourous souvenir into the next day. In summary, probably skip this pit stop.

So we booked this restaurant on recommendation whilst visiting Bournemouth and we are SO happy that we did! We wouldn’t say it’s like having a dinner, it’s more of an experience. A very relaxed and slow experience, don’t rush it. The team there are very attentive and can explain everything on the menu (including the wine list) to a T! They only serve produce from local / independent farms and they seem to know all of the fish mongers by name. The tapas style dining is perfect to try bits of everything, but from experience don’t be afraid to go big! We wish we had tried a bigger main course but to be honest the flavours and the variety of everything that we had was just perfect. Ask the staff for their recommendations! They got it right every time. Lastly the ‘small plates’ concept didn’t mean the plates were small at all! (Not like East London, over priced and underfed) everything was hearty and a great portion size. Thank you so much! We will be back down again soon ☺️.

Unreal experience, not for vegetarians but the meat was to die for, we had the slow cooked brisket and it literally melted in my mouth, I still have dreams about it now and it’s been a few weeks

Me and my wife are big foodies and eat our most weeks, we are currently trying to find the best roast arount the area we live and were told place is really good but it wasnt it was really bad, the lamb was tastless the gravey was watery and the whole thing was cold, a massive disappointment I wouldnt reccomended this to anyone, save your money and time and book somewhere else.

It was my first time here. Food was amazing. Lovely atmosphere and really nice decorations. Talking about the staffs. They are quick and so welcoming as well. Claudia was absolutely amazing. And Popy was sooo cool and happy. She was laughing and smiling. I loved how she was!!! Everything was perfect xx thanks

Visited for a Sunday lunch, had roast beef which was wafer thin yet still difficult to cut. Did leave some and ask if they thought this was acceptable, although no response. Pudding also arrived lukewarm. Very disappointing

Good food and great service! The bacon belly, which apparently was made of beef belly, was to die for! However, the starters were ok. Cheese was regular, but the wine soaked grapes were strong (we loved it). Risotto was a bit dry and uncooked inside. Also, staff need to do more research or training on wine pairing. 😛

Bad food poison we where sick for two days Service was good

Came here for a roast and a couple drinks as the reviews were great and I couldn’t have been more disappointed. £25 for a roast beef Sunday lunch so expecting a nice meal but boy was I wrong. The meal contained 3x roasties, water thin gravy and fatty, undercooked and disgusting strands of beef. I paid the £1 extra for a Yorkie. The roasties were lovely but the rest I wouldn't give to my dogs. The server was great. Ordered a Negroni for a beverage and it was poorly made and mixed, cocktail knowledge/ability lacking at this venue. Won’t be coming back.

Had two great dinners here during my staff in Southbourne. While you end up having a lot of dishes, the food was tasty and locally sourced which I loved. Most of the menu was also gluten free, or able to be adapted, which meant I had plenty to choose from! Service was also great and friendly and gave lots of recommendations for the area

Great atmosphere and lovely all round experience. The staff are very friendly and welcoming

Poppy was absolutely amazing, 10/10 service and 10/10 food

Great food, great experience, staff are so friendly. Will definitely be back again, can’t recommend enough.

Sent back two main courses - £41 steak and £20 mackerel. Both very disappointing Steak tasted like it had been boiled, not grilled / fried Whole mackerel had taste and texture of a kipper Manager’s view was that our palates were the issue Disorganised service - waited 15 minutes for a second bottle of wine to arrive Loss of reality - The Library a speak- easy type bar had no cranberry juice for a cosmopolitan or elderflower for a Hugo spritz Bottom Line - this is why the Larder House had tables all evening ! A joke of a place

Lovely food, unusual and delicious.

Our visit to The Larderhouse for a Sunday roast was a great experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional. We tried the pork, lamb and chicken, and all three dishes were cooked to perfection, with rich flavors and high-quality meat shining through. While the meal might cost a little more than at some other places, it’s clear that the quality of the food more than makes up for it. You definitely get your money’s worth here, and I would highly recommend The Larderhouse for anyone looking for a top-tier Sunday roast. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially Poppy, who went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for us. Her professionalism and warm demeanor when resolved a slight mix up on my part really added to the experience and made me feel much better!

We have had Sunday roasts at many restaurants across the south of England over many years and our meal today was outstanding. The welcome, service, food and general atmosphere among the many happy diners made our visit a pleasure from beginning to end. We would be happy to return any Sunday we are in the Southbourne area !

Best Roast & Best Pork I have had ever !!!! The staff are professional and friendly and would recommend this restaurant to everyone in this area staying !!!! Go visit & enjoy

Menu changes everyday depending on on catch of the day, I had cattlefish; which is not always available in most places, and it was fantastic; not chewy at all, combination with oyster mushroom was perfect. Only issue; they ONLY have steak knifes! I asked for a normal knife to spread the butter and was told Thi as is the only knife they have!!?? Seriously? Ho well, always a first; I had to spread the butter with a steak knife!!

The best roast I have ever had outside of my own house ...absolutely fantastic and always has been.

The food here is amazing! Friendly and relaxed atmosphere for Sunday lunch. The staff are wonderful and very happy to help.

Having been here many times as locals, food has always been great, and always keen to take visitors to share a wonderful experience. Unfortunately although food and staff were great, service was terrible and 1.5hours before we got a plate of flatbread. I did complain and staff sped up the rest of our dishes, but sadly will look elsewhere in future for our visitors 😔

Yet another amazing lunch. Menu was fab and varied. Top service.

Poppy popped our night. Grrreat service and awesome selection of delicious treats. Will always be back ❤️

I had a lovely dinner here with my family. We all loved the food but the service was fantastic ! Poppy was excellent and we had a loads of banter with her! Recommend :)

Fantastic lunch Something very special Relaxed atmosphere Great food and poppy gave us amazing service Will be back

Probably the worst roast dinner I have ever eaten. Meat was fatty. Yorkshire pudding tough and leathery and cold, potatoes over cooked, cauliflower cheese undercooked. Table was slanted and difficult to eat on .selective staff unattentive. And unresponsive

Amazing and fresh seafood, defo recommended to try

Despite being advertised as vegetarian friendly, there was no option for Veggie Sunday roast or even flexibility to accommodate this. We were offered Tapas instead.. we took the option even though we had both been looking forward to a Sunday Roast. Unfortunately we had the "cheeseboard selection" which was 4 very thin slices of cheese.. good cheese but ridiculous at £20 .. we had a couple of other tapas.. halloumi dish and cauliflower cheese.. 1 lime & soda & 1 lemonade.. totalling a whopping £65. The music was so loud we couldn't hear each other to talk .. when asked if we could turn it down it barely registered any difference. We love to support local but on this occasion we found the larder house to be pretentious & over priced sadly. Won't be returning.

Popped in for Sunday lunch and had the ‘rump’ of Aberdeen Angus Beef @ £25, sadly disappointed as nothing rump about it and actually 3 pieces of very thinly sliced beef being very fatty. Apart from the lovely waitress the front of house lady could maybe have a softer personality and not make you feel like she was doing you a favour by finding us a table… there were plenty of empty tables available. No one checked up to make sure that the meal was ok. The flat bread for starters was delicious and would recommend this, but as for the beef roast really not worth the money for the quantity of food received. The 15% service charge and £1 for action against hunger was added to the bill but I’m not sure the service charge was justified. I would go back but not for the roast.

Just had a wonderful evening, food was outstanding, atmosphere amazing and service from Poppy was simply fabulous, what a great host. Thank you so much, my first visit and will definitely be back x

Best roast in town with added excellent service. We are a family of 4 the boys have big appetites the ladies not so much - 4 clean plates.

Went to the Larder House last night. Was blown away by the quality of the food, the cooking techniques and the entire concept of the menu - European inspired dishes with flame grilled fresh fish and meat, served in a “tapas” style - genius! Every ingredient had been sourced to perfection, with everyone from the cooking to the waiting staff passionate about each dish. The result was that the ingredients themselves were the stars of the dishes! The servers could not be faulted and the kitchen staff displayed an obvious passion for their dishes. It is not the cheapest restaurant to visit, but certainly one that will blow you away and leave you wanting more. Definitely work a trip for a special occasion! I would not be surprised if they are on their way to being awarded a Michelin star sometime very soon. Very good indeed!!!

Just wanted a nice meal in Southbourne didn’t realise the Larder House is now it an over priced Tapas! The chalk board was too busy to understand and the waitress lacked knowledge! I was so looking forward to my cheese board, we had two at £20 a head, no explanation of the very dry looking cheese, I just looked at it and sent it back and not once after sending most of my food back did anyone ask if ‘everything was ok’ I was so looking forward to this very rare night out and it was a complete let down!

Had a great birthday meal here, we pre ordered from the group menu (turbot and fish stew) and both dishes were fantastic and so well cooked, perfect for a celebration/sharing. The staff were great as well, very attentive and kind and accomodating given we were a group of six plus a baby. Would all definitely come back

Excellent food. One of the best I've ever visited. Unusual twists on dishes from around the world using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. An inspiring menu that changes daily. Second visit and I will be a regular. Superb with knowledgeable service.

We were there for a friday evening BBQ and it was absolutely delicious. Excellent choice of different meats marinated differently. Really everything we got was great even the pieces I would habe never chosen myself. I really recommend!

Amazing food, great service. Staff excellent.

Awesome restaurant! Kind of a tapas share style. Our server was super helpful

What a lovely place! We came for Sunday dinner and the glorious waiter not only gave us a great wine suggestion but also accommodated a superbly tasty veggie roast. Great value and atmosphere.

Exceptional service and food as always

Everything about this place is amazing. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Came in on an off chance for a table on Saturday lunch time with a friend. Poppy looked after us and she was incredible! Amazing recommendations on the dishes, beautiful smile and when she found out were chefs, introduced us to the head chef Simon and gave us the most awesome experience with her professionalism. The whole ethos of Larderhouse is sustainability , seasonality and quality and you can definitely see , hear and most importantly taste it! We’ll be back for a 5 course meal with Chef Jesse for another exhilarating experience! 10/5 stars ! ⭐️ Much love Oli and Aleks

Lunch, dinner, or just for drinks. Any time of the week, I’m guaranteed a wonderful experience. Friendly team and comfortable surroundings.

My son and I dined here recently one lunchtime. We were there all of 45 mins. We had the mussels, few drinks and a desert. £106! The mussels were the smallest I had ever seen, like a dead fly had crawled in the shell. You could hardly fork them out they were that small. I did reach out to the restaurant by email as I do not like leaving bad reviews but they did not respond. The staff however, were lovely.

If I could I would give 10 stars, what a wonderful lunch we had, starting with the amazing Poppy, who welcomed us in, took time to explain the menu and suggested both food and wine, we had little tasters of the wine and I had an orange wine called Janet which is never had before and was lovely. The food was also hugely impressive, all locally sourced with a zero waste approach. We asked about the cider ketchup and the chef was kind enough to explain how it's made. I think this is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in. Thank you.

We have just had lunch here, and it was the best place we've eaten for a long time. All the food was delicious; the customer service was excellent (thank you Poppy!); and the relaxed atmosphere was just the vibe we were looking for. It's not the cheapest place to eat, but all the food is locally sourced and there's zero waste (as any leftovers are recycled into compost - not that we had ANY leftovers!), so we have no complaints at all about this place. We absolutely loved it!

We booked a table online for the two of us. Arrived on time only to be told by the waitress that we did,nt have a reservation. She grudgingly agreed to give us a table and promptly allocated the table right at the entrance near the door. ( this was despite it being six thirty in the evening and loads of the tables further back being empty). The overall feeling of the place was shabby and rather unkempt. There were also lots of rowdy people drinking outside and at the bar and the music was so loud I could,nt hear what my husband was saying. We left and I was glad to get outside as it was just a little bit of a crazy atmosphere inside. It’s a true saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Needless to say we won,t be going back.

Went for Sunday roast. Mostly inedible. Vegetables so badly burnt we couldn’t identify them. Roast potatoes also massively overcooked. Place was empty too

Ist timer... Very warm welcome Food was banging Staff were fantastic A Fine establishment 10/10

I provided the music for a private party at the Larderhouse a week or so ago. Poppy was super helpful and efficient (thanks!) and Stephen behind the bar was awesome as well. Brilliant place! The guests all had a great time as did I! Cheers and see you soon

Just 5 stars in every possible way, from the service to the drinks to the variety of food. We asked the server for her recommendations on everything, and we were not disappointed! We popped upstairs to the Library for a drink after and were blown away by the bartender's knowledge and the whisky selection. I can't recommend the Larderhouse more highly, and we will be booking in again very soon!

Absolutely unbelievable. The care and attention given to each dish is clear to see, with real attention given to quality ingredients. The wood fire is an amazing feature and flows throughout the menu. Serious food delivered by wonderful staff. West Country rib eye was beautifully smoky and perfectly seasoned. Mussels in cider cream sauce were nothing short of amazing and the huge selection of vegetable dishes featured innovative twists to classic plates. Locals and visitors alike should put this at the top of their list and book now. 11/10.

Not good at all,we did complain and they knocked the drinks of the bill

I was appalled at the prices for very stingy portions; a dozen olives was a fiver and four marble-sized chicken balls, served on a drip of sauce was eight quid!!! No garnish or anything!!! To top it off, they wouldn’t accept my cash as they had no change so it was either pay with a twenty and get no change or use contactless. Won’t be returning.

Been invited to a tasting night, Paying £50. Was sceptical on fronting the money. Turns out it was more than worth it. Brilliant service. Food was unreal. One of the best and enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had. Top job guys. Thank you very much. Will definitely return. 👍

Food was incredible! The roast was so good and they were very accommodating for 3 days and a baby

A little pretentious maybe and the food was not that brilliant

Last minute Sunday lunch. Staff and atmosphere were very nice. Unfortunately the beef served was almost inedible. The chicken however was very moist and tasty. At £25 for one course obviously disappointing.

Fifty percent overpriced tapas and cocktail bar, food is good as is service but nothing to justify the prices. Noisy ex pub. There is much better for the money

We had a beautiful night at the Library. Delicious cocktails and attentive (but never over attentive) service. Comfortable and cosy. Highly recommended.

Nice place, lovely helpful staff however food ordering is very confusing, menu difficult to understand without help. Unfortunately starter Spanish Tortilla and other dishes extremely salty

Happened upon this restaurant on our walk home this evening, what a find. Fab, great food, great service. Will revisit. Thank you

The bread was delicious with !!!!! the stake out of this world 🌎 all the complementary dishes very well combined sauces. 👍👍👍

Best foodie spot in Bournemouth! after recently moving from London, I’ve missed the restaurants but we are so happy to have this little gem of a restaurant. Every single dish was so good. I’m always happy if I eat out and know I couldn’t have made it better at home. I’ve been for their roasts over the years but we’ll definitely be back for dinner 😊

Amazing food. We had an incredible meal tonight with what might be the best steak we've ever had. Super service. You must go!

Southbourne is a conceited place.

Its my second visit to the Larder House and it met expectations in everyway. Zac was our greeter and server and he was outstanding. Thank you to all who work there.

Excellent service with great and plentiful portions. One of the best Sunday roast around. Delicious carrot cake, unusual but moreish. Great atmosphere 👌

Just about licked the plates clean - say no more. A special find, we had lots of different sharing tapas plates - delicious. A great experience!

We had a great time. Food was imaginative and delicious. Service extremely friendly and some interesting drinks. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Incredible food, great service & an amazing bar upstairs too! Highly recommend. If you don’t go here, you’re missing out.

I went here for a friends 21st party. They had cornered off the whole back part for us it was spectacular! The food was sublime and the service was phenomenal...... I asked for. Crumble which came with cream but I really wanted custard so without hesitation when asked they made up some amazing vanilla custard from scratch for my dessert. They sang they danced. The staff the chefs made it something to be remembered will definitely be returning soon!! Had so much I forgot to take pictures 😂😂😂

Syd’s Slaps, is AMAZING! Just a few steps from the larder house. The sandwiches are simply incredible, and the fact that they sell Perrier champagne by the glass. Phenomenal! The service is great I love everything about it.

Had a lovely meal out with my partner for a date night. Didn’t catch the waiters name but he was amazing and kept referring to me by my first name which was a nice touch. Food was amazing - it all comes from local farms so is day dependent and had such a lovely time, thanks to you guys!

A bonus to fund both tasty original sharing plates with sensible priced quality drinks for a boys night out. Keep up the great work!

Spent a fabulous catch up evening with a girlfriend last night. The roast beef was sublime, margaritas were sensational and it was the most relaxed bit of being spoiled possible!

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff,

Had dinner here a few nights ago and all the food was very good. We had a selection of 6 dishes and we enjoyed them all. The peasant was really good, the pork belly tasty and hispi cabbage amazing. The service was good, friendly and very informative. The place is very nice, food decor and a real cosy feel. Had a great experience but it is an expensive meal.

I’ve eaten at Larder House many times before and the food has always been phenomenal and worth every penny. However I recently went for my birthday to find out they are now tapas only. Which isn’t a problem but the menu wasn’t very clear and neither was the wine menu. The girl working didn’t have much idea to any of the menu when we asked her questions on the food. When our food came out we were super disappointed. Nothing tasted out standing. Was all very simple and pretty tasteless to be honest. All of us find this & we’re all extremely disappointed. Me more so as it was for my birthday and I had said how amazing the food was but it was nothing of the sort. When we said we weren’t happy with the taste of some of the bits we had ordered. (We left half of what we had ordered). The chef came out to tell we were wrong and implied we had bad taste buds. There was never once a sorry that you are upset with how the food was it was very much we are right and you’re wrong and the comment about having not experienced good food was the final straw. I will not be coming back here again after that experience. Waste of money. Plenty of other better quality restaurants in Southbourne and with a lot less attitude.

Popped in here for a last minute lunch with my husband. Such a nice experience, great service, delicious food and an interesting menu of small plates. Just perfect for a cosy lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Thanks Larderhouse team!

Sorte em ter um banco no balcão sem qualquer reserva! Esse foi apenas o começar de muitas coisas boas. Todo o menu foi selecionado pelo staff! Espumante para começar, vinho branco a acompanhar as 3 sugestões. Todas deliciosas, de salientar a couve no forno. E para sobremesa, um queijo com um preparado de vegetais picante acompanhado com tinto, suberbo!

We visited for Sunday lunch. This was after visiting for a local meeting Eco Sobo & loving the plant based nibbles we were kindly provided. The lentil & mushroom wellington was absolutely delicious - could not fault this. Fabulous. However the whole meal was swamped in gravy so potatoes & some of the delicious vegetables were soft & mushy. Would advise always serving the gravy on the side so it doesn't spoil a well thought out well cooked meal. The decaf coffee to follow was sadly not delicious - absolutely awful! Couldn't drink it. When I asked for sugar I was given fine white sugar instead of a choice of table sugars including natural sugar. I was surprised there wasn't any Pinot Noir on offer. The wine I was offered instead was quite heavy in comparison to a Pinot, and the first bottle was definitely off (so they opened a new one which was better.) It still wasn't a good wine tho. I've been advised by a friend to try the Friday night small plates experience round the bar.

We had a lovely evening with delicious food! Great service and very professional. The food is quite pricey for what it is but all of the food was lovely!

Wow - what a fantastic meal we had - the roast was amazing, the beef was cooked to perfection, great roasts , homemade Yorkshire’s, lots of beautiful veg, carrot, Swede, parsnips, kale & lashing of gravy Didn’t need a starter & couldn’t manage a pud ! We sat in the conservatory as we brought our dog Lovely cosy atmosphere Great service too Highly recommend

Premium price for a sub par experience. The food (for the most part) was very delicious but it was very expensive for what it was. The menu is chaotic and wasn't clear what the differences are in terms of the size of each dish. For one dish we ordered a whole fish and when we opened it, the middle was very cold and raw so I assume it had been frozen. Similarly when I ate a prawn it also wasn't cooked as well, I'm guessing could be frozen too. The Staff are very friendly, no complaints there, but they did lack experience. Sometimes it was hard to hear them and didn't handle returning the raw food too well. The venue itself was also cold and we were seated next to a door which kept opening every time a member of staff came in instantly shocking us with cold air. Even the tables aren't suitable for a relaxed eating experience as they are garden tables that are too tall (I'm 6'1) and bumpy. I've been to other taspas restaurants which were more organised and structured. I hope they can learn from the recent bad reviews and address the issues.

Our meal had so many ingredients piled on top of each other that it was impossible to enjoy. I would have liked to ask for a second plate to spread the meal out. The vegetables were over cooked, charred to be inedible. Properly presented this would have been a much better experience.

Booke a table .was sat at bar as no table so manager then moved us upstairs on own .poor decor ,lighting.requested to go back downstairs.vegetabkesvover roasted .disappointment over all
