Took advantage of the 2 cod and chips for £15 deal. Food was beautifully cooked, well presented and came very quickly. The refurbished restaurant gives a much nicer feel and atmosphere to the place with very attentive but unobtrusive staff

Nice atmosphere and good service but only one vegetarian choice (Sunday menu). Food was average and some portions are very small (beef shin and suet pie). Chef unable to adapt a dish at request.

we had a lovely Sunday lunch in chic surroundings . Tables nicely spaced , so despite being busy , you didn’t feel squashed and bothered by noisy neighbours

Very poor Sunday lunch. Roast potatoes were almost cremated the carrot and swede too sloppy. The white sauce on the broccoli was tasteless and the roast beef so thinly sliced it must have been done on a bacon slicer. On top of that the food was not very hot. Only good point was the roast pork and crackling. We will not come again.

Atmosphere was lovely, we had good servers and a great view out onto the front. Food was good, starters were amazing but the roast dinner was nothing to write home about. We have been here during the week, dining from the usual menu- which we much preferred. Will be back again without a doubt, just not on a Sunday.

The new menu, has some very tasty starters added (chorizo and sour cream) and I love the lasagne as it is more solid than some other restaurants which is more to my taste. Fish and chips always lovely and fresh.

I have been to The Davenport several times since it re-opened and have always had a lovely evening so I’m not sure what happened. All three of us were disappointed - it just wasn’t the standard we were expecting.

Love the place. Service was good. Main was good. However, desert was disappointing, just a lemon curd jam tart with undercooked meringue and pastry was soft. Expected crisp pastry and real lemon meringue filling with crispy topping

Good prompt service despite being a very busy Motheting Sunday. Friendly and efficient staff. Menu provided a good range of choice without being too extensive
