A very pleasant lunch. Great value with Eat Out to Help Out
great tasting seafood wrap and squid starter. It's a pity people who book don't turn up; they're missing some nice food.
We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the alfresco dining and the food was very tasty from start to finish.
Amazing food as always. I love coming here. Sticky toffee pudding is sooooo good!! I could have had 3 lots! Friendly staff, quality food. Can’t fault it
Great Sunday roast. Cheesy leeks were ace. Great service. Go.
Great food, lovely staff and we’ll definitely be going back. Wood fired Pizza oven due to open soon, so can’t wait to try that!!
Lovely dining experience the food was excellent and a lovely waitress. Will definitely return
Job well done atmosphere was lovely, food and service excellent. Thank you
This was our first meal out after lock-down eased. We also wanted to support a local business. The team at Curious Eatery have worked hard to create a safe and pleasant dining experience, something which they achieved perfectly. Tables were suitably spaced and we were offered a choice of ordering through an app or directly from a member of the team. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt but relaxed. The menu is compact but varied, with some additional 'specials' of the day - We had sea bass and the curious burger. Our food was well cooked and very tasty. Prices were reasonable. The whole experience was very enjoyable and we will be returning again soon - Highly recommended!
Delicious food and excellent service, we will definitely be back 😀
Brilliant - definitely coming back, great food, service and ambiance
This is a fabulous local restaurant. They have done a great deal to make the post lockdown experience as smooth as possible. Service is warm and friendly. Food is delicious.
Lovely food, good service and they've made the outside seating area look really pretty.
Loved the prawns but the stuffed courgette flowers were amazing!
Lovely staff with great service, and amazing food! Can’t wait to return.
Sadly very disappointing, the poor waitress had to return to our rave 3 times to say our choices had run out . No steak left by 7.30pm I pity the tables after us . Apparently this happens regularly, advises to order when booking next time . Spoiled our evening
Always a pleasure to go to the curious eatery. They pay attention to detail and really try hard to make it a wonderful dining experience

Excellent food, always well served by polite happy cheery staff. Great place to eat.
Kept waiting for 3 hours and very little money off.
This was our second visit to The Curious Eatery and they didn’t disappoint. It’s special. Firstly I had to move the dining time back as my partner was stuck at work and there was no fuss or difficulty whilst they arranged a new table and gave us the time needed happily. Which we appreciated with it being a pay weekend Friday night. Without gushing I can honestly say I’m really impressed and had the best experience coming here to dine. I always remember the food from the first time we went and also the great interior and feel but the thing I overlooked was just how good the service is, it’s excellent (as it was the first time). We were welcomed by every member of staff and greeted genuinely before being taken to our table. We were asked about our days and had pleasant conversation with every member of staff we were in contact with, right through the evening. Our main server was great, really attentive, friendly and asked how our meals were, if we needed anything (obviously) but it’s the way it was done, the attention to detail and level of care she had. Even the Chef came out later on her break to check with the diners and ask if they enjoyed there meal which shows how much care and commitment is put in to this restaurant. We were sat opposite the serving pass to kitchen so we could see them all working away, creating plates of food and request “service!” when they were ready. For us as a couple this is an additional bonus we really enjoyed as it connects you more to the restaurant and your food. You can see that it’s not just plonked on a plate and the skill they have preparing your meal. We were spoilt for choice on the menu, Im the kind of person who researches the menu online and decide on my meal before I arrive! Though on reading through a great menu when there, there were different specials I hadn’t seen, food combinations I wouldn’t expect but looked tasty, things that intrigue, that are well explained but also plates that are uncomplicated for people feeling less adventurous but still fancy something elevated. We shared an delicious and super reasonable bottle of Malbec and committed to our food orders despite changing our minds constantly (out of choice not uncertainty!) The food came quickly, was hot, presented immaculately but most importantly, tasted phenomenal. We sampled each other’s dishes as they came and between all 6 plates of food there wasn’t a single fault. Everything was cooked well, delicious, didn’t require reasoning and delivered exactly what was written on the menu. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t get a chance to sample the other menu items that looked so appealing as they left the kitchen! This is a really masterful restaurant and I couldn’t recommend it enough, we’ll certainly be back the first chance we get.
[breakfast] An exceptional menu, with courteous and friendly staff, all in a delightfully cosy atmosphere.
This restaurant is excellent at maintaining a very high standard. Delicious freshly cooked food .Up to date menu. Great staff.
Excellent service and excellent food, it’s a real pleasure to vist
It was a treat for my son’s birthday, and it was our first evening visit. I can honestly say the food was exceptional, and we were all very excited with each and every course! Can’t wait to return VERY SOON!
We had a great time thank you. A lovely lunch venue.
Always a most enjoyable experience eating at the Curious Eatery. We are regulars and have never been disappointed.

Food not to our liking on the night, Dessert was lovely though. We would go again but would check menu first.
Delicious food. Excellent squid. Excellent ribeye steak. Lovely people. Great atmosphere.
Food was excellent all round, service could not be faulted, would recommend if you enjoy good food in a pleasant, unpretentious atmosphere.
Incredible food and lovely service! Will be going back again..... And again.....
Bought two friends along for there first time, they will be going back! Lovely food and atmosphere 😊
I thought the food was very good but a little over priced for portion sizes. No itemised bill given and for what we had it seemed expensive. A bowl of soup, £5.95 Sausage, egg and chips. £9.95 One pudding. £6.95 = Total £22.85 for food Plus One cappuccino and one black coffee price? but if the price above are correct very expensive coffees. Cost £30.15 not sure I would go back to eat..
Lovely place, great food, good service. We all had a fantastic time.
Disappointed, this time! almost convinced it was a different chef ! Food was very small particularly the starters & our main courses were lacking in seasoning. Would also rather not hear private conversations of staff .
My 8 year old says the sausage roll roast was the best roast he has ever had! The roast beef was lovely too. Everyone makes you feel so welcome will be eating there again very soon.
