Lovely meal and the staff are so friendly

Lovely place and excellent food at a reasonable price. However, if you are celebrating a birthday within your party, don't expect it to go to plan! 30 minutes after our main meal, we still hadn't received the birthday cake, so I had to ask at the desk if they could bring the cake for the 2 birthday celebrations within our party. They eventually brought the cake but with completely the wrong candle, which I had specially bought! Totally ruined the experience. No one came to ask if everything was alright with the meal. When we arrived no one asked if we wanted drinks. We had to go to the bar ourselves. I have been going to this restaurant for years and the standard has definitely slipped, unfortunately.

Went out for afternoon tea at 3pm on a Saturday for a family celebration, after pre-booking. Nice location with good views, but layout inside cramped, not least for serving staff. Disappointed that had to to wait for 45 minutes for food. Had ordered one tea for a person with dairy and soy intolerance, and a much reduced offering was produced for them. Staff unable to explain why. We expected cakes and scones to be dairy free as a matter of course, so why then was there so much reliance on soya? Attitude of staff strange and not particularly welcoming - we were originally told that we couldn't take home the cakes we didn't eat, but eventually foil trays were provided ( surely a likely scenario for a generous afternoon tea). Food was generally good, although scones were a bit dry, but the overall experience was not as good as we had hoped.

Took my mum for her birthday on a Wednesday night , they got the ordered wrong , them alot of the food the mushrooms and pizza just tasted like oil , not much taste to them and really off putting , there was 3 adults and 2 kids and I found it really expensive for what we got apparently theres a early bird menu but no one told us that , and I didn't enjoy the meal at all , the only thing that was good was the service and that's it

Good lunch. Quick service. Waitress was lovely. Food nice. Lacked a bit or flavour & salad could be more imaginative..just a few sorry lettuce leaves.

Absolutely fantastic. We hadn’t been in for a while but we took my son and daughters to celebrate my sons 11th birthday. I’d had forgotten how good it was. Great atmosphere and the food was so fresh. Can’t recommend enough.

Food and service a was excellent, but the restaurant was too cold to be comfortable.

Always enjoy verdes quality food really good value and great atmosphere will be back soon

From the very warm welcome to a cheery goodbye we were looked after superbly during our visit. Although I had booked for 1230hrs I was unaware that High Tea wasn’t till 1400hrs!?!?!? DOH! No worries, my wife and I plumped for window seats giving an excellent view of the local countryside. Hares, Buzzards and a host of smaller birds were a welcome addition to the view, the service and the excellent experience of our visit. Wife chose Encheladas and I tge Thai Penang Curry both were excellent. The meal was finished off with a slice of Dairy Free Lemon cake too big for one, luckily the staff brought an extra fork!!!! Final Verdict, we will be back!

Sadly, last nights meal was a disappointment because the side of cooked vegetables were over cooked and rubbery. Normally they are excellent.

Excellent!!! Went with a visiting family on the lunchtime menu, quality & price amazing. Staff are extremely friendly, definitely will be going back.

Pizza was amazing (we had gluten free and it was perfect). Staff were lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend!! We will definitely be returning very soon :-)

A lovely informal place to eat in a beautiful setting. Even though we were looking forward to having what we had had previously it was good to see that the menu changes so we had to choose something else. Great starters of buffalo wings (enough for 2) and bruschetta. We had the curry, chili and burger for mains and were more than happy. My meat eating daughter said that the burger was 'yummy'. It was carrot cake, ice cream and pavlova for dessert which again we all enjoyed. A choice of a dessert with custard would have been a good....who doesn't love cake and custard??? Looking forward to being able to eat outside in the summer. Would be great if this was available to be done in the evenings even if it was just available on Saturdays.

A wonderful all round experience! Food, staff and surroundings were all 5 stars!

Excellent food, quick service, good portions and a very pleasant experience overall

15th March 2023 lunchtime. Our first visit and the first day of their Spring menu. Overall the vegan food was good and the service was generally okay. We got the impression that the two serving staff were somewhat uninterested in our dining experience with almost no request for feedback. We would have expected that the chef would have been keen for ways to improve his brand new menu? Our friends ordered a shared meze together with a mushroom pate and tomato tarte tatin. They hadn't realised that the meze also included the mushroom pate - perhaps this could have been pointed out by knowledgeable staff? The pita and slices of french bread were pretty stale and the beetroot humus was unseasoned and didn't taste much of beetroot. The buffalo wings and the pate were good as was the tarte. As mentioned elsewhere in other reviews the burger was fantastic and the enchiladas were very tasty and highly recommended. The cakes were bought in and not created on the premises and were okay. The coffee and hot drinks were good. All in all a satisfactory lunch and we will probably return although we will not be ordering the meze next time. It would be helpful for review readers if there was a date next to each review and I shall be interested to see if we get any feedback for our feedback ; - ))

18.03.23 Food was amazing , service was prompt, didn't wait long for order to be taken, dishes taken away promptly and all staff were polite and attentive. Lasagne - larger than it looks Garlic bread - huge Unsure on the size difference between started and main on spaghetti bolognaise. Generous portions Wine price - very reasonable Price variation online to the menu which I think is misleading.
