The best restaurants serving French food in South East

I arrived at the upstairs bar and grill at around 5.15pm. It was half empty and I was approached by a man who I assume was the manager. I asked for a table for two, of which there were plenty. In a rather condescending tone he informed me that they were fully booked. I drew his attention to all the empty tables and was told rather abruptly and unapologetically that they would be occupied later. As it was not yet 5.30pm I think it would have been polite of him to perhaps have said, 'We are expecting a rush at about six o' clock, but you are welcome to a table until then'. After all they serve only drinks and snacks.

The 3.5 average review says it all. The most expensive bar in Lymington for drinks and the service is usually terrible. Perfect setting and lovely decor but I don’t want to be writing about that when reviewing somewhere; I’d rather be raving about quality service or food - this place has neither. Saved by one of the staff, Elysse, on more than one occasion. Without her, I’d probably be asking for a refund and giving the place a lower score.

Estábamos buscando un lugar para tomar un café y un sándwich / pastel. Pedimos 2 baguettes llenas que eran duras como rocas y rancias. No tenían chocolate caliente, así que pedí un vaso de agua, vidrio sucio y agua tibia. 2 chicas desinteresadas en la caja que claramente no querían estar en el trabajo ( 4. 45 pm) Las mesas estaban sucias y el café en sí necesita una limpieza realmente buena ya que hay migas, restos de comida , manchas en los enchufes, bandejas, mesas, sillas y suelo. Nuestra mesa no estaba limpia. Toda la experiencia gastronómica fue mala y tuvimos la impresión de que el personal estaba harto y quería volver a casa.

I’ve been here a number of occasions, it’s actually my wife’s favourite restaurant for a a Sunday roast. Ironic I suppose.

We went mid week and were offered the a la cart menu for a birthday meal. We then returned near the weekend with family, as we were staying in the area. The service was brilliant and the food superb. Highly recommend.

I ordered the chocolate cake online. It had a nice light sponge with a generous amount of icing/mirror glaze and selection of berries on top. Very reasonable price too. Would definitely order again

Modern restaurant als afwisseling voor de oakroom, serveren diverse gerechten waaronder snacks, niet formeel

El nombre ahora cambió a Grill algo:). El café se parece un poco a una cantina de trabajo y muy desagradable. El servicio es pésimo, muy lento, muy inconexo y los artículos vienen al azar. Pido bebidas y comida. 20 minutos después nada, así que pregunté dónde estaban las bebidas. 'Oh, ¿quieres bebidas ahora? 'Sí por favor, así que llegó mi bebida; luego el segundo, y luego el tercero, solo una naranja, mucho más tarde. La comida también venía en dribs y monótonos. Posiblemente el peor servicio que he tenido en mucho tiempo. La comida es bastante buena y excelentes patatas fritas. El personal es muy amable y se disculpó.

Real shame that the creperie club on corner of grove road closed some time ago… the building still adornes the faux flowers above

We stayed in the magnificent Spring Cottage and had dinner in the hotel. The facilities were superb and the staff and service levels were second to none. Dinner was also a triumph. Really can’t fault any aspect of our stay at this stunning property and the team that make it so special.

Lo único bueno de este lugar es el personal. La carne era demasiado hechos, así como las hortalizas (que también eran frío), y las patatas estaban medio cocinado. Y 3,25 para una botella pequeña de vino espumoso agua?! Para su crédito, el camarero no me preguntaron por qué yo apenas tocado mi comida, pero sólo le quitaron el cargo de servicio de la factura cuando de hecho debería haber acreditado mi comida que sobrara. dire! Hemos aprendido la lección y reservar con antelación en el Swan la próxima vez.

I enjoyed going to this restaurant in Witney I have been here visiting the same place on a number of occasions and I can not find any faults with this place I went today for lunch as I had a voucher to use and all the staff were very nice and helpful and friendly and BEX is a very good manager but it is a shame that the restaurant will closed it doors on the 15th February to become a bellia pasta so all the best to bex and all the staff and see you soon DAVE / SERENA
