We decided to order from the tapas menu, and got a number of dishes between the four of us. The food was really very good, and the service was also brilliant as expected.

Very friendly, helpful staff - good service - food was up to expectations apart from my dessert - "Rocky-road ice cream cake" which was still frozen - good once it thawed out a little! Otherwise an enjoyable meal. Thank You!

We booked on line but no one had clocked this. They were not busy so this was okay. The staff are very good, helpful and friendly. Great ambience. Food was too rich and over fussy.

We enjoyed great food & service, would thoroughly recommend a visit if you're in town for the evening. The building has bags of character too.

Lovely ambience and friendly atmosphere. The shared vegetables between 5 was very minimal. But service friendly and the Friday and Saturday menu looked divine, sadly it was Sunday!

The service was brilliant and there was a wonderful atmosphere about the place. The food was amazing and the menu was inventive and homely at the same time. The only poor comment is that the poor singing pianist wasn't the most talented of chaps but it did make us laugh.

Really good food, good atmosphere and reasonable pricing, the only downside is if you are a real ale drinker it will be from the bottle, however I would certainly visit again and the staff were just perfect in trying to help all the way along.

The food was pretty average to be honest, but the portions were of a good size so if that's your bag then you'll be happy, nice little place though. Very attentive and polite staff.

Adventurous combination of food is a hit with us. Nice to try something different. Staff friendly and polite. Pity that a very noisy table of four spoiled the ambience. They talked and laughed in mega decibels!

Very nice meal and efficiently served. An old fashioned Bistro, hopefully becoming the new fashion? There was a surprisingly large selection of draught continental lagers but no real ale.

We had a good time, food and service were great. Menu choice was so good that we would like to return, however probably not a Saturday as the exuberance from the bar area later in the evening, rather intruded on our convivial conversation!

Enjoyed EarlyBird menu with friends from Oxford. It was very good value and excellent food. The staff were attentive and helpful and it allowed a very enjoyable meal before they had to catch their train.

Really enjoyed the food it was really good. We both had Duck Leg Confit and it was well cooked and very tasty. The service was a bit disorganised but not a big problem. The main problem were the tables in the part of the restaurant we were in there were only 3 occupied tables 2 couples and a group of 8 the group of 8 sat behind my wife and because the tables were so close she was constantly being knocked by them.

Food was really tasty. We had the tapas and great for vegetarians and good value for money. Unfortunately however the service was not particularly great, very friendly but a little slow which is why we scored a 4.

Excellent quality & choice of food. Beautifully presented & inventive dishes. Delicious food to suit every taste. Friendly staff. Seating is a little snug & not much room between tables but great warm atmosphere. Wine perhaps a little over price but had a great evening. Book early as this gem of a place gets full quickly & is very popular. Will definitely return!

Quite a slow start - shown straight to our table but then after 20 minutes had to ask if we could get some drinks. Also then had to ask if we could order. Once food came 2 of the group enjoyed their food very much and 2 ( they had the tapas) were slightly disappointed).

Food as usual was very good, but service was disappointingly poor. It was very slow and some orders were wrong. We've been to Carriages many times and this was the first time the experience was below par. We hope this was just a temporary blip.

Beautiful meal and great service. Will certainly be returning. The owner is very pleasant and welcoming. The only reason I haven't awarded 6 is because he forgot the chunky chips!
