The best restaurants serving French food in South East

I arrived at the upstairs bar and grill at around 5.15pm. It was half empty and I was approached by a man who I assume was the manager. I asked for a table for two, of which there were plenty. In a rather condescending tone he informed me that they were fully booked. I drew his attention to all the empty tables and was told rather abruptly and unapologetically that they would be occupied later. As it was not yet 5.30pm I think it would have been polite of him to perhaps have said, 'We are expecting a rush at about six o' clock, but you are welcome to a table until then'. After all they serve only drinks and snacks.

We have several breakfasts during our stay. Overall very good, great produce. Sadly our last breakfast this morning was a little disappointing. My husband found his (and my) bacon super over cooked. I asked, apologising profusely, if I could have an extra sausage instead (as couldn’t eat the bacon). Unfortunately the sausage came 20-30 mins after we received our breakfast (I’d assumed they weren’t going to do an extra sausage). We were packing up to go, plates already cleared away when a sausage arrived. Shame. Don’t know if it’s coz it was Monday… different chef or what. Left a little disappointed.

We were looking for somewhere to grab a coffee and a sandwich/ cake. We ordered 2 x filled baguettes which were rock hard and stale. They had no hot chocolate so I asked for a glass of water - dirty glass and warm water. 2 disinterested girls on the till who clearly did not want to be at work ( 4.45pm) The tables were dirty and the cafe itself needs a really good clean as there are crumbs, food debris , stains on the plug sockets, trays. tables, chairs and floor. Our table wasn't clean. The whole dining experience was poor and we got the impression that the staff were fed up and wanted to go home.

I’ve been here a number of occasions, it’s actually my wife’s favourite restaurant for a a Sunday roast. Ironic I suppose.

What an Improvement This is restaurant serves so much more than just pub grub !!! . Enjoyed a lovely meal, well presented and perfectly cooked [so important with fish] Although fish does dominate the menu, there are other choices. Service was excellent and friendly , thank you Victoria. Will definitely return when we are next in the area

I ordered the chocolate cake online. It had a nice light sponge with a generous amount of icing/mirror glaze and selection of berries on top. Very reasonable price too. Would definitely order again

Modern restaurant als afwisseling voor de oakroom, serveren diverse gerechten waaronder snacks, niet formeel

El nombre ahora cambió a Grill algo:). El café se parece un poco a una cantina de trabajo y muy desagradable. El servicio es pésimo, muy lento, muy inconexo y los artículos vienen al azar. Pido bebidas y comida. 20 minutos después nada, así que pregunté dónde estaban las bebidas. 'Oh, ¿quieres bebidas ahora? 'Sí por favor, así que llegó mi bebida; luego el segundo, y luego el tercero, solo una naranja, mucho más tarde. La comida también venía en dribs y monótonos. Posiblemente el peor servicio que he tenido en mucho tiempo. La comida es bastante buena y excelentes patatas fritas. El personal es muy amable y se disculpó.

Real shame that the creperie club on corner of grove road closed some time ago… the building still adornes the faux flowers above

We stayed in the magnificent Spring Cottage and had dinner in the hotel. The facilities were superb and the staff and service levels were second to none. Dinner was also a triumph. Really can’t fault any aspect of our stay at this stunning property and the team that make it so special.

Lo único bueno de este lugar es el personal. La carne era demasiado hechos, así como las hortalizas (que también eran frío), y las patatas estaban medio cocinado. Y 3,25 para una botella pequeña de vino espumoso agua?! Para su crédito, el camarero no me preguntaron por qué yo apenas tocado mi comida, pero sólo le quitaron el cargo de servicio de la factura cuando de hecho debería haber acreditado mi comida que sobrara. dire! Hemos aprendido la lección y reservar con antelación en el Swan la próxima vez.

I enjoyed going to this restaurant in Witney I have been here visiting the same place on a number of occasions and I can not find any faults with this place I went today for lunch as I had a voucher to use and all the staff were very nice and helpful and friendly and BEX is a very good manager but it is a shame that the restaurant will closed it doors on the 15th February to become a bellia pasta so all the best to bex and all the staff and see you soon DAVE / SERENA
