First, let me say that Rick Stein is my all time favourite TV chef, so when I was in Marlborough, and saw there was one of his restaurants there, I cancelled my previous booking elsewhere and booked here. I could go on and on about why I was so disappointed, but ultimately, the food here was just ok. We had a halloumi appetizer very nice and well balanced, followed by mackerel, scallops and watermelon salad as 3 starters. Mackerel was nicely cooked but the whole dish was bland, the scallops were completely tasteless I mean completely like nothing, and the watermelon salad was not exactly fresh withered rocket and watery over ripe watermelon pieces. The fish curry main was very nice, but all...
Came here for a big family celebration and booked a private area with a min spend of £1k. Before I start I must say the waitress who was serving us was amazing and did a great job under poor conditions so she was not to blame. She was the only person serving all the tables upstairs when there was an empty bar downstairs with 2 serners there. So food was OK but not amazing, I think it's bad to send prawns up from the kids menu as a full bodied carcass to be fair when I sent them back they were peeled but it added to an already slow service. We waited on wine for the whole of the first course and into the service of the mains, again they did upgrade the choice but it was slow. I had the waterm...
Pleasure of going on Sunday for lunch. Lovely warm reception. Impeccable quality food, friendly staff. However as a Michelin star restaurants tiny details missed felt a little underwhelming. Side order forgotten, Toffee pudding deserts so tough textured it had to be returned, dining plates served instead of desert plates, desserts took a long time to arrive, then waiting for sugar for coffees afterwards took a while for no reason too. The place wasn’t busy at all… so unsure why the fine detail in a fine dining restaurant was forgone. Silly unnecessary errors that can happen all the time in any restaurant so nothing taken personally. Our server was lovely. But as mentioned, this isn’t just an...
Had set price lunch £28.50 ,which seems to have gone up significantly recently, which for the price wasn't really as good as I expected. Small portions, 4 potatoes as a side, a glass of wine £10 and fairly average food. If I had paid 60 percent of the bill I would have thought it reasonable.

The food was underwhelming and very, very slow in arriving. Salt and pepper prawns were overcooked and just covered in pepper. The hollandaise sauce with the turbot was more like glue. Only saving grace was the drinks. Disappointing and poor value for the money.
Turned up without a reservation for lunch with a dog and a wheelchair user, we had such amazing help and service, our waitress was very knowledgeable and the barman brilliant at putting a ramp up steps for us to access. Many thanks
Didn't have food. Just some wine, chilled in the sun outside. Emily was so helpful. Love Rick Stein's albeit food or a cheeky bottle of red. Always fabulous food. Staff are amazing
Rick is charging £5.50 for a single oyster. Beyond London pricing, now we're in the realm of extortianate pricing.
