Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food and staff together, describing tasty, well cooked dishes and service called excellent, with several mentioning repeat visits. The three course Sunday lunch is singled out as great. Staff handling of particular needs stands out: one group had every course arrive at the same time, and a coeliac diner says staff had checked with the chef before arrival. The criticism is less frequent but specific. One reviewer describes a bar area that felt like a sports bar, with a man in gym shorts watching rugby, two gins served in identical glasses with no ice, a bill requested three times, and a spoon stuck in a dessert, though starters and mains were fresh and tasty. Another objects to a father arriving in shorts and flip-flops, and one dislikes the optional service charge and asks for it to be removed each visit.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fabulous Lunch at Bennett’s! We celebrated my husband’s 60th at Bennett’s and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The service was impeccable, friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. There was plenty of choice on the menu, and every dish was of the highest quality. Considering the superb standard of the meal, it was excellent value for money. We left feeling thoroughly impressed and very well looked after. I can’t recommend Bennett’s highly enough, truly a first-class dining experience.”

“Exceptional food, attentive staff. As a coeliac I felt very looked after - the staff had checked with the chef and knew what I could have before I’d even arrived.”
- Andrew Croft
“Great restaurant and service. Unfortunately, the dress code lets this restaurant down. You do not expect a family to come in, and the dad is in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, very poor,”

“My favourite restaurant... well worth 5 star... but the BIG negative, hence the four stars, is the "optional 10% service charge", really annoys me, this is my choice, not yours! I always ask for it to be removed, then I decide if the service has been good!”
