Before it lapsed we decided to use a voucher given to my wife last Christmas for a swim and lunch. Great refurbishment of an old Victorian swimming pool, but why not 'non slip' tiles round the pool....splashes of water from serious swimmers (they swim up and down the side) and as I was not swimming during the half hour my wife was I saw three people slip on the tiles....not helped by autumn leaves from nearby trees falling on the tiles. Also some curtains to changing cubicles missing rings so do not close properly. Ordered a latte whilst I was waiting, no sugar offered and very slow to come.Having said that the lunch was excellent (do chefs not have to cover their hair any more?) ham hock and wild mushrooms to start followed by chicken and pollock; all well cooked and nicely presented, served by friendly efficient staff (no salt or pepper on the table!!!)

We had booked a booth at the back on a busy Saturday evening, and were glad we had since the restaurant was jam-packed and pretty noisy. The shared entrée carpaccio of tuna was outstanding, I followed with half a chicken, which was certainly good and copious, but less interesting, as was the creamed spinnach. Three of us ate for less than £140, including gratuity and drinks.Would recommend booking, and getting there early especially over the weekend.

Called in on a Monday lunch time without an appointment - We were pleasantly greeted and given a seat - Service good and food also in a good atmosphere at a reasonable lunch time price - fish and chips ok but haddock should have had a bit more taste - still high standards though

We took my son here for his 21st birthday as the reviews were generally good. We managed to find street parking nearby but parking is a problem and beware of parking in TGI Fridays as you may get fined. The staff were very pleasant and very attentive maybe as it wasnât very busy. We had the platters to start which were both delicious. Everyone was happy with their mains which were plentiful and packed with flavour. The biggest disappointment was an Italian restaurant that doesnât have Tiramisu on the menu. The desserts we did have were slightly disappointing but didnât detract from what was a great evening. Very reasonably priced with good discounts if you look online.

Recently visited Zest after booking a large party for an early dinner after our Away Day. As there were 45 of us, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The restaurant was very clean and the food was lovely. With such a large group, we were able to pre order, with a variety of set menus to choose from. Sally, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with in organising everything and made the whole booking experience so easy. A real bonus was Zest printing off the pre order and putting these on our tables so everyone knew what they were eating! As the organiser of a large party - this was so helpful! I highly recommend this restaurant and will be visiting again.

Reviewed By simon l
As the 6th highest rated we thought it would be decent. No qualms with the service, top notch. The wine was fine although it was the second most inferior type, grapes went even listed on the bottle. The calamari was good but expensive. The pizzas are well presented. Even 1.5cm crust and even 1cm tomato puree border. However, they were expensive and pretty tasteless and we didn't fancy eating them. We were offered chili oil but that's masking them. We hoped the place would be great, however we'll skip our anniversary and further thoughts on returning. Wife prefers Papa Gs among others.(I used to have 400,000 TripAdvisor followers, however with gdpr the number is no longer listed)

...tucked away off the beaten track through a plain door down stairs to a really nice vibe bistro. Subtle decor, good service and a nice variety on the menu about 10 starters, 10 mains and half a dozen deserts. Generous portion sizes, beautifully presented and very tasty. Great wine selection too. About £50 per person incl. wine and tip. Very very nice.Thank you so much for taking the time to review your visit to Valpy. I'm really pleased you enjoyed dining with us. I will pass on your kind words to the team. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
