Lovely and relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous and varied food presented well and happy service. We love the curried cauliflower! The seared tuna was really well presented. Will be back!

The food is good, very tasty but quite expensive for the portion size. The other issue is that the menu doesn't change and they don't offer any specials. If you are vegetarian the choice is limited so we don't visit regularly.

Great service, excellent food choice, unusual wines. The USP of this friendly neighbourhood restaurant is its balance of vegetarian and meat/fish dishes. There are lots of veggie choices that will tempt even the confirmed carnivore, such as this reviewer...

Delicious food, the menu is varied and interesting, we enjoyed sharing a mix of small plates. The service is friendly and helpful. Spinach is conveniently placed just opposite the Picture House.

Lovely place for lunch but for the evening meal it was very disappointing. The main disappointment is the food and would not return for an evening meal although may do so for lunch. Food well presented but the vegan options very poorly cooked. The desserts were frankly appalling; strangely artificial and stale tasting. Service was overall reasonably good.

We went for the sharing plates, which were all delicious. I particularly liked the haloumi chips. The orange cheesecake finished off a delicious meal. The cocktails were amazing too.

The food was okay. I felt as though I could have made it myself. Service was excellent and made up for slight blandness in food.

lovely informal local restaurant. I had the two salads and fish cake which was more than enough for lunch. Smoothies almost a meal in themselves. really good place to meet for a chat with friends over a healthy lunch

Spinach's set lunch of 1 portion of protein and 2 salads was excellent value. We had delicious Thai Fishcakes with pea and samphire salad and sweet potato, yogurt and avocado salad. It made a really interesting meal. The service was friendly and helpful

Very tasty food but small portions and quite expensive. Nice atmosphere though: really peaceful and well decorated. Staff is friendly. Neighbourhood is nice and quiet. Great for people allergic to gluten or anyone looking for nice unconventional flavours!

Great staff, nice food. Only thing we ordered a cocktail (Prosecco base) and the glass arrived half full. When we questioned this we were told that their Champange flutes were particularly big hence only half filled. To us the glasses didn't look particularly big and considering that the cocktails are £8.50 each and Prosecco not Champange based we felt short changed. I would either change the glasses or fill the glass a little over half full (it didn't need to be filled to the brim just a little over half way). It just spoils the experience.

Absolutely delicious! Ordered sharing dishes, original combinations, fresh seasonal ingredients, perfect measures. Nice service. Atmosphere in back room a little stark on arrival but got cosy with a good buzz as it filled up.

Such a lovely spot, the food was really delish, loses a point for not having the champagne we ordered in stock. Can't fault it otherwise.

I love this restaurant and go often but I think as it is becoming popular the service is slightly going down, had to ask several times for an extra glass for proseco, if you buy proceco by glass be aware that it is less than half a glass, and also the bill was a lot higher than expected but we had a great time.

Very pretty establishment and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Good, speedy service and the food was really good. They have something for everyone, but especially those leaning towards vegetarian or vegan dishes, will be pleasantly surprised. The Tuna steak I had was delicious. Highly recommend it

The food was good but the service was extremely slow and the staff weren't apologetic or very friendly. Also fruit cocktail we ordered was described as having watermelon in it but it in fact must have just had watermelon syrup as it was incredibly sweet and sickly. Had to dilute it with fizzy water.

Pleasant setting and interesting selection of small plates. Just missing a little on execution so missing a final zing of flavour and freshness . Probably not somewhere I would return to

Food was cold when it eventually arrived. Service friendly and all salads described. One of our guests requested the dish to be changed as they had a food allergy and this was done. Pity about the cold food otherwise would consider a revisit.

Lovely rustic feel and wonderful combinations of flavours in the dishes. We chose a selection of smaller dishes rather than the main menu but can't wait to try everything else they have to offer. All the dishes we tried were delicious! Will definitely go again.

Excellent restaurant really good quality fresh food will definitely come again. Good drinks selection. I only have one very small criticism, this being with the lamb shoulder small plate, I think it could have had a bit more spice to it. I can see why they wouldn't want to over do it as the meat is extremely good quality and they probably want it to speak for itself but unfortunately this makes the sauce over power meat, a bit more kick and it would balance it out a bit better. I feel a bit bad for making a tiny criticism as overall excellent.

Wine and main courses were delicious! Pork tenderloin was a particular hit. We were disappointed that they'd run out of two of the three dessert options - the prospect of a 'chocolate pot' was one of the things that had led us to Spinach. But overall, would highly recommend! (And next time we'll reserve our dessert on arrival.)
