We have been visiting Verdes since our children where small, they are now visiting with their children. We call it our happy place, all good food, service and value for money, we absolutely love it

I booked for 2.15PM as I thought I would have beat the lunchtime rush, but I still ran into a few problems. First off, the food is really excellent. Served hot, high quality, beautifully presented and good sized portions. I could not fault the food at all. Excellent. The atmosphere is very good too. Situated on a quiet road, the outside tables overlook some wonderful views. There was a wafting sewage smell every now and then, but it passed quickly. It didn't smell like the normal 'farmland' smell, it was hard to pinpoint. The service was poor. 30 minutes to order two drinks (an extra 10 minutes to get the second drink on the order), wrong drinks brought to table, 40 minutes to get a food menu. We were there for around 3 hours to get two plates of food, a main each. We did order tubs of ice cream on the way out though. From other tables, I overheard comments such as "we haven't had our starters yet" (as mains arrived) or "I keep asking for cutlery". It was disappointing to see a table arrive around 30 minutes after us, receive drinks, menus and their mains by the time we were allowed to order, but from the interactions, it appears they were either regulars or locals. It was surprising because by the 3.00PM mark, of the outside 15 - 20 tables, I would estimate 7 - 10 were occupied, so I can't even say they were rushed off their feet, but it was much busier when I first arrived. However, I should say that every member of staff I spoke to was very pleasant, friendly, engaged and positive. The lead waiter did repeatedly apologise for our delays and seemed to be doing the best he could. No one was rude or made us feel unwelcome. I thought the food represented good value for money. However the menu needs to be updated slightly as a milkshake is listed at £4.00 but on the bill it was £4.50. It's only 50p and I didn't feel the need to raise it as I wasn't sure how long I'd have to wait for a revised bill.

Thank you for this restaurant! Finally I found Amazing place with delicious food. The view is wonderful ! Staff is very friendly. the food was delicious. it looked insane on the plate. Everything is perfect. We will definitely come back here many more times! Highly recommend!!

Just like the previous time we visited - wonderful! Which is why were so keen to come back so soon.

Had another excellent meal at Papa Luigi's. The kids love the garlic bread and pizzas. An enjoyable tea with the family with super service as usual. Look forward to our next visit!

Beautiful meal, amazing service, tranquil and warm setting could not of been better! Thank you Verdes x

So good to be back and enjoy a meal out with family. All meals were the usual excellent standard that we have come to expect over the years at Verde's. Possibly a busy time so had to keep catching the waiters' attention, but this didn't distract from a superb time.

Just love Papa Luigi's. Know we'll always have an excellent meal with excellent service.

We only discovered this restaurant during the lockdown, whilst having a leisure walk, but what a find! The service, staff, ambience, scenery and the meal it self, fabulous...Will definitely eat here again....

5 star food the kitchen is the shining light in the restaurant, service needs improvements in some areas like learning the menu your serving and not being aggressive with your diners when asking a question busy or not, but food quality outweighed any major negatives. Lobster ravioli was high class

Lovely meal, glad to be back.

This cafe is really super. The setting is stunning and the food is excellent. We had the Thai curry which was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

I always love coming here. The food never fails to impress.

Absolutely delighted to back at our happy place, been going since our children were little and they are all grown up now with their own families and they go now. Our real happy family place

We had the 2 course lunch. This is unbeatable value coupled with excellent service. We also had a decent bottle of wine. Overall one of the best Italian restaurants around!

Well, what a great night. This has always been one of our favourite restaurants and we have been keen to return as quickly as we could both to show our support and to enjoy the delicious food. Last night was fabulous. Food was superb, the service was spot on and the atmosphere as usual was lovely. I have missed the pate followed by tortellini alla crema! Highly recommend! Thank you to all of you and we will be back soon!

First time for both customers and staff alike after lockdown. An absolutely fantastic meal for the three of us with a view over the wonderful countryside.
