Most Disliked

Some patrons mention that the wait time for freshly made dishes can be longer than expected, particularly during busy lunch hours. While the atmosphere is cozy, the space can feel cramped when the bistro is fully booked. For those in a rush, the pace of service might require a bit of patience. Although most dishes are customizable, certain dietary preferences may limit options, especially during peak times. In rare instances, fluctuations in service speed can occur, impacting the overall experience for those with time constraints. However, most feedback remains overwhelmingly positive, making these concerns minor in the grand scheme of the bistro's reputation.

Lovely little bistro, starter portions are big, so be hungry! Everything we ordered was tasty, and generous portions, we have lived I. The surrounding area for 3 years and cannot believe this was our first visit, but it won’t be our last!

Popped in here for some lunch, the service was amazing and the food was outstanding. Had starters and mains the portion size was good and the taste was great. Even cooked a chicken breast for the dog. I would highly recommend here to eat.

Lovely little place. The food is fresh made to order so it takes longer to come out but that is no problem as the food is fantastic. Had a gluten free macaroni cheese and a meat feast pizza which were both great. Great service too.

Really lovely Sunday lunch on a whim. I had the chicken roast and my partner had the steak pie; both our meals were delicious. Lovely modern interior and service was fab. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely little find today after visiting the Silverbirch garden centre! Inside is lovely and immaculate, service was great. Food was delicious (although my husband thought his was bland, but thats his taste) other adult and children really enjoyed meals, and were plentiful. Will be returning ☺️

Firstly, I visited the site to explain that one of the guests had gluten-free requirements . When we arrived, the young lady let us know what was available as she had personally talked to the chef. So thank you for that. The inside is beautifully laid out. The booths all have tv's, so my friend and I could take the occasional glance at the football match that was going on while our wives chatted. All of this before we even tasted the beautifully cooked food. I would highly recommend eating here, not because I am fortunate enough to live around the corner but because the food was stunning. I will come back soon and try the highly rated Sunday roast. 😋
