  “First time here- I booked based off of both the awards and reviews. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious, quick between plates and well put together. The food was very well balanced. They were also able to accommodate needing booth seating. The staff. I really disagree with tipping culture - I believe people should already be paid well. The staff here deserved and earned **every penny** of their tip. The service was phenomenal. The empty water jug was barely placed on the table before it was then refilled. Every employee we interacted with was kind, engaging and welcoming. You got the sense that they got on well together and worked as a team- and if that isn’t the case, you can’t tell! I would return again for partly the food (it was delicious!) but mostly because the staff here had more than a singular brain cell and used their initiative with efficiency and kindness.”

  “Definitely a cut above most UK restaurants we have visited. Slightly lacking the sophistication and nuances that one chef simply can’t produce. We (two of us) ordered six plates, which we shared. Plates were served at timely intervals, rather than the normal ‘all at once’. Service was excellent. Interesting wine list and our ‘shot in the dark’ order of the Chilean Riesling, a good one. Nice casual atmosphere.”

  “We had the cheese board, but there wasn’t much on it. We also ordered two roast beef dinners and specifically requested the beef to be well done. However, when they arrived, the meat was still red, so the waiter took both meals back. We were left with the gravy, which had gone cold by the time our dinners were returned. The Yorkshire pudding was also very hard and overcooked. Overall, it wasn’t a very good experience, and we were quite disappointed.”

  “Amazing food and amazing service. I was particularly lucky to have Gez and Velo look after me. The pistachio parfait is the dish that you cannot miss out on. Will be back again.”

  “This restaurant lives upto it's excellent rating IMHO. The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is very good, but the open plan made it a little bit noisy on a busy weekend evening. We had 11 small plates between 4 of us. We really enjoyed most of them - the crispy chicken was not as good as the other dishes we tried - scallops, lamb, fish, celeriac, hispi cabbage, focaccia, beef carpaccio - which were all excellent. The format of small plates worked very well leaving room for us to share a very generous pudding portion and cheese. As I've just posted photos of the meal I realized just how beautifully presented the food was too. Yum. Many thanks.”

  “Had an absolutely delicious all vegan meal here prior to an event at the town hall. Staff were super helpful and helped us pick the most delicious options. Cannot fault anything, loved every bite and will definitely be back.”

  “Where the hell is the Michelin Guide to give this place its flowers? Welcoming, warm, knowledgeable staff. Each dish was interesting, delicious, thoughtful, intentional. Generous cocktails and wines from a bartender with charisma to match each pour. Really, truly loved our meal and overall experience here. It’s not to miss. We’ll be back tomorrow”

  “The best meal we’ve had to date in our multiple weeks tour through the UK. Why this place isn’t bib gourmand yet is beyond me. The servings are just right for you to appreciate the flavors, textures, and combinations in well more than a few bites while trying 5-6 items from the menu between 2 of you. We arrived with a good hunger and left well satiated and delighted. The cocktails and service are also at the top level. Great wine recommendations for pairings, and deliciously unique dessert. The price is incredibly reasonable for the quality of experience and ingredients. We will be returning and certainly be recommending anyone within driving range to visit (which in itself defines the point of Michelin).”

  “Absolutely fantastic afternoon for Rhythm and roast on Sunday. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was honestly amazing! We celebrated a friends birthday and the owner very kindly bought our friend a drink over. The entertainment jukebox live was 1st class and great fun 🤩 we will 💯 be booking again asap.”

  “Outstanding dining experience. There are a lot of unique flavours and dishes. The chickpea bites were unreal - very different, and as a meat eater, one of the best non meat dishes I've had in a while. The crispy monkfish bites were perfect in every way. The squid melted in my mouth and had very fresh flavours. If you haven't checked out Sam's, you should. No chance you'll be disappointed. To top the food off, the staff were very helpful and friendly.”
