Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently single out the food as the draw, naming daily soups, the breakfast, and a broad menu of light bites, hot and cold lunches, and desserts. Service runs friendly and fast across most visits, with tables cleared promptly. One diner reports waiting 40 minutes and left without eating, and another suggests reserving a table since the room fills quickly. Plenty of choices and easy parking round out the experience.

“Absolutely fantastic food, with plenty of options from a light bites, specials, hot & cold lunches and desserts. The staff are always extremely friendly, polite and happy to offer advice on food and drinks. The tables are always cleared straight away as you're leaving and wiped down. Toilets always clean and tidy. Highly recommended, they also do outside catering which is also excellent.”
- Emily Wellock
“Simply Classic did the catering for our wedding and it was absloutley amazing! We where so happy with everything. From start to finish Sally and her team where a joy to work with, going the extra mile, and nothing was to much trouble. The food on the day was brilliant, fillet of beef cooked for 80 people in a catering tent in our garden is not easy to do right, and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was. All the canapes, and the rest of the course's were very tasty. The service was seamless, everything just happened and our day went so smoothly. I would 100% reccomend simply Classic if your considering outside caterers, and I will definatly use them again in the future. A massive thank you to everyone at simply classic who played a part in making the food and service on our wedding day amazing - we cannot thank you enough!!”
