Customer Review Summary
The most consistent praise across visits centers on the food, with several diners singling out the Sunday roast, particularly the rump of beef and the cauliflower cheese side. Sharing plates also draw return visits, with padron peppers, halloumi, strawberry salad, olives, and squid named as a satisfying spread for two, alongside squid and potatoes flagged as standouts by other groups. Cocktails are described as divine and delicious, and the green, beautifully decorated space draws repeated mention for its cool, relaxed atmosphere. Service is widely praised as attentive, friendly, and welcoming, with diners noting staff who explain dishes well and make guests feel looked after. One reviewer, however, reports a marked decline, describing staff as under-skilled and the food quality as having slid, and notes that on their last visit the disabled toilet was obstructed with chairs and used as storage. Most arrive by booking ahead for dinner.

“The food was tast and the cocktails divine. Friendly servic too.”

“My friend and I had been to Fern for drinks before and really enjoyed the atmosphere, so when we saw they offered a Sunday roast, we knew we had to come back and try it. We booked for dinner on Sunday and, as expected, the atmosphere was lovely. The space is all green and beautifully decorated, giving it a really cool and relaxed feel. The staff were also attentive, friendly and welcoming throughout. We both ordered the rump of beef, along with a side of cauliflower cheese to share, and the food was STUNNING. Everything was flavourful and the beef was cooked beautifully. The cauliflower cheese was also the perfect addition. This is definitely a Sunday roast I’d come back for. I’d happily return to Fern for this alone!”
