Betty Bumbles Vintage Tea Rooms

Reviewed By Robert H

We visited the tea rooms at lunch time and found the food good but a little expensive for the portion size. The service , however, was good and the staff polite. The tables in the downstairs area are very close together and it is difficult to get around them.

Stumbled arse backwards into dinner for 70+ guests post Nice Comic Convention. Starter was the Thai chicken skewers, could do with a little more of the peanut relish marinade, but still worked well with the chill jam. Also quite spicy. 8oz rump for mains, served perfectly medium rare with a very tasty marrow butter and a small portion of mash and ratatouille veg that I didn't particularly want and didn't eat (greens would make more sense or some kind of sautéed veg. Could do with a little more of the mash. Potatoes are cheap, perhaps crushed New or Fir potatoes, keep it seasonal)Chocolate & Raspberry Frangipane torte for dessert.Very rich, too rich for me, couldn't finish the whole portion but tasted amazing. All in all a quite good meal and the kitchen and front of house team coped VERY well with the 70+ plus booking.Would definitely come here to eat again with a smaller group to try the larger a la carte menu.

Summer Soltice means wedding anniversary. So needed good food welcoming atmosphere and music to dance too. Well we got all of this at Tre Fratelli last night. Simone was there to welcome us and the whole evening went just as we wanted. We actually took 4 friends who had a great time. Sofia Soul was excellent. Staff were attentive which added to the experience. Well done again for making our celebration a memorable experience.

Herd

Reviewed By roadstar_racer

Once upon a time Herd focused on burgers and served decent ones at that. 2 recent visits and unfortunately standards have seriously gone down. opted for the herd burger and onion rings which I enjoyed many times. Noticeable decline in quality of both the burger and bun. The large onion rings were a little oily this time, the chips were fine . The new restaurant was dry as a dodo so there was no reason to get anything wrong !

The Horse & Jockey

Reviewed By TimSharrock

Friendly greeting, helpful staff, beautiful food. Exceptional in every way. Unexpected and interesting amuse bouche; goat's cheese starter with apricots, beetroot crisps, etc. was full of contrasting textures and flavours. We had ordered our main course in advance and it came exactly as we had hoped. Accompanying vegetables were cooked perfectly, and exquisitely presented. Pannacotta was light, smooth and a perfect end to the meal. Coffee was flavoursome without being bitter. Perfection? Yes, a wonderful evening.

The Plough at Bolnhurst

Reviewed By 401NicolaD

We haven’t visited here for a long time and we have been missing out. There is a great atmosphere even in very busy restaurant. The quality of the food is excellent. Portions are perfectly sized and full of flavor, we were able to enjoy 3 courses without feeling too full. The warm chocolate orange tart was to die for. Will definitely be returning soon.
