We had a lovely roast dinner at the Gonville Hotel. The beef was incredibly tender and came with a generous Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and vegetables. We started with garlic prawns and finished with a sensational pear, honey and almond tart with pistachio ice cream. The set lunch was good value for money and the complimentary glass of wine was a welcome bonus. A very enjoyable meal and somewhere we’d happily return to.

The service was great and this is one of the few places I’ve been there the staff have been very attentive, accommodating and didn’t simply drop the food off and forget about us. They insured we were taken very good care of through the entire experience. We enjoyed each entree and the drinks were great. Probably the best margarita I’ve had since coming to the UK as an American. Should definitely try it out and a bit thank you to Henrique, the other gentlemen, and the manager!

Namaste Village provides superbly prepared food, as offered in an extensive and imaginative menu, on a relaxing, authentic setting. Our server, Sanda, was very responsive to our needs. We loved the claypot 12-vegetable stew with fenugreek dumplings and the grilled paneer with tomato-cashew sauce.

    If you love delicious Japanese food and a fantastic atmosphere, this place is an absolute must-visit! It was my second time here, and I’m already hooked! The restaurant is spotlessly clean, the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and the menu offers a wonderful variety of dishes. Everything is beautifully presented, and you can really see the care that goes into every detail. Highly recommended!

    Impeccable service from the front of house to seating us and the delicious food. I went with my 91 year old Mum who had not experienced The Ivy before and she loved it. Our waitress was amazing. She took time to explain clearly to my Mum and was generally knowledgable and kind. It was an extremely busy service due to Graduation Day. However not a beat dropped and it created a real buzz in the air. Just a real treat for her Birthday.
