There was a big group in at the same time as us, or so it sounded like, wasn’t sure if it was a problem per se. Just detracted from the cosy little atmosphere. Overall good night was had by myself and my friend.

Attentive and helpful service by staff. I had the honey and chilli chicken followed by Affogato. It was beautifully presented but was a bit too sweet for me. I would have liked a more variety of vegetables.

It’s been a while since I last ate here and I won’t leave it so long until next time. Delicious food, excellent service and a busy but not too noisy ambiance allowing for conversation over dinner. Well done team 👏🏼

Stunning food, highly recommended to anyone. Wide choice of food on their new menu. Today's waitress Rachel was absolutely lovely. Attentive and knowledgeable without being in your face. Again I'd highly recommended The Braided Fig to anyone.

Great food and good service. Perhaps a bit more time between starters and main would relax more the experience.

What a find. Lovely quaint place. Food was amazing. Veganmenu outstanding. I had the tagine and hummus which was so tasty. Partner had the double burger which ge devoured. Dessert was another level. Tidy Mess a clever take on Eton mess with a beautiful balance of flavours, mine was a vegan chocolate and cherries fusion, just fantastic. Definitely highly recommend.

Our waitress Rachael was absolutely lovely! Engaging, always smiling and happy to help without being overbearing at the table. She answered my dad's question with a perfectly witty response which we all really enjoyed at the table and gave us a good laugh. Food was great and we really appreciated some picky amendements being made.

Beautiful menu, lovely, attentive staff and excellent food. What more could you ask for? Excellent wine list at great prices. Recommend the lemon and thyme chicken, rhubarb and custard pannacotta, washed down with a fantastic Chardonnay 😋

Everything was delightful! The food, the staff, the ambiance… all of it was enjoyable. I would definitely come back again. The Korean Cauliflower, the Caesar Croquettes, and the Sticky Banana Pudding stole the show for me tonight. We also met the owner and she was wonderful.

Unusual dishes, interesting. Hummus starter was made more interesting with mint, spice and fruit. Bass was tasty, but not much of it. Cauliflower a bit too soggy in spicy Thai sauce.

We had a lovely evening. The food was fantastic. The cocktails were delicious. The staff were warm and friendly. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. It was great to see it so busy. I would definitely recommend the Braided Fig and give it a well deserved 10 out of 10

Excellent food. Pity they were half way through a menu change. Would have preferred the customers to have been spread out a bit more through the restaurant instead of all put together in a corner near the window as there were plenty tables available

The Venue was very quiet for a Saturday night, but I have nothing bad to say, the quality of the food and portion size flwas fantastic. We had 3 courses but weren't uncomfortably full. Value was good. I don't mind paying a higher price if the quality is good. Certainly be back.

Decent food, decent experience and decent staff. There's a dead tree in the middle of the restaurant. It's a bit quiet but okay. Price is alright, although they add the tip on automatically to the bill, which I don't like. My steak was so so good and flavourful, the haggis Poutine was pretty good.

They aren’t very accommodating No half portions of the Sunday roasts for kids Won’t provide a bit of both meats on the Sunday roasts High service charge automatically added to bill without being advertised Menu doesn’t state easily what is vegan/GF so you need to work two menus if you are intolerant to both

Excellent food, price and service. Unfortunately we were sat among a couple of loud nousy groups. A quieter table for 2 on the other side would have suited us much more as there was availability there.
