Fantastic restaurant with fantastic staff and of course fantastic food 10 out of 10. The waitress there was the best I've seen for a long time. I only wish I'd tipped her more. 😁 .

There was hardly any food left -even though we hadn't been able to book a later table. The roast dinners had no beef, lamb or chicken left leaving only belly pork. The mains we had a choice of Caesar salad or fish and chips as no burgers. Vegetarian options were available. The waiting staff were lovely but the reduced food options really spoilt the experience.

The restaurant is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The food was ok, nothing special, but this may have been what we ordered as the lamb and pork belly looked very good from what I saw on other tables. We live and learn

The food is always excellent. Every generation of our family chooses to eat there. Our only criticism is that the people serving do not always show the same level of commitment or professionalism as the chef's. Otherwise faultless.

Food was well cooked and presented, although not sure why the chef thought slow roasted belly pork with a very generous amount of crackling required extra crackling on the side. It was far too much fat! And my daughter struggled to find the wild mushrooms in her almond and wild mushroom pasta dish! We were given a very nice table, there was good ambience and service, very reasonably priced food and wine. Let down by very limited and uninspiring menu, I really struggled to find something I wanted and won't go again until they change the menu.

We met some friends there for Sunday Lunch and the food and the service was excellent. The dinner came with plenty of meat, homemade stuffing, a massive Yorkshire pudding and a medley of vegetables. The only tip I have is to wear warm clothes as the restaurant was cold due to the old style draughty windows.

Our food was very good and service was also very good. However we had to contend with fairly constant noise from building work that was going on in the room above us which was rather annoying. Otherwise we had a good overall experience.

Visited on a Saturday evening in early December meaning there were a few Christmas parties having a pre-ordered Christmas menu. Unfortunately we felt like a forgotten entity. The waitresses were pleasant but getting their attention was difficult as they raced about seemingly avoiding eye contact at all costs. The menu unfortunately didn't suit us at all as we were hoping for something a bit different but the only things that appealed were fish and chips, and gourmet burger (not being a fan of mushrooms or mussels, the sausage and mash feeling a bit 'Tuesday night', and the shepherds pie not being available). That's down to personal taste though. The food served was good quality although the chips were a little too greasy.

Good food and service, bit cold in the back room and the quinoa salad arrived without quinoa, other than that a good meal and would go back.

Confusing service from four different waiters, one table one waiter is all that is needed. The food was over salted rendering one dish uneatable. They even snook two bottles of water on to the bill that we believed was tap water at a cost of more than £7. It is a shame because the place has the potential due to its location and building to be a top class restaurant but a poor chef and waiters and underhand tactics to rack up the bill means I will not be visiting again until I hear that there has been a dramatic change in the place.

Fantastic food and service. The 3 cheese tear and share was fabulous. The chicken and chirizo linguini was very tasty although could have done with a little more chorizo. Exceptional value for money. The staff were efficient and very polite. Highly recommend Fothergills.

We have visited fothergills on many an occasion and always enjoy the £29 meal deal - 2 courses and a carafe of wine (now 2 glasses of wine - previously a bottle!) The food is good quality and the location is great. The only reason for the slight reduction in score is that the service can be slow - this is not a problem for us because we like to have a long relaxed meal but would be difficult for anyone time pressured!
