Wow! What an amazing experience! I booked this restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we had a spectacular time. The venue is charming and deceptively large but intimate. The tables are separated into smaller rooms, which are cosy but private. The menu was small, but every option was a winner! We both opted for a salmon starter with the steak for the main. Daniel catered to us before we even arrived. He had a lovely bottle of Rose chilling at the table for us (upon my request) and arranged a lovely dessert plate with truffles and dessert wine for the birthday. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food and beverage. I can't recommend Forage & Chatter highly enough. You don't want to miss it!

Gauthier is one of the best fine dining experiences I've had -- and unparalleled for vegan, French full-course meal. The mix of flavors , textures, colors, smells added to each bite. Service was attentive and engaged with each table - especially the manager. It is expensive, but worth the price if you enjoy the experience of French fine dining.

Hawksmoor is easily my favourite restaurant, their steak is second to none. After our meal last night I went home and drunkenly bought a sous vide online, so Hawksmoor has been replaced! Now I just need to find a butchers who will sell me a porterhouse...

We had a fabulous lunch from the set lunch menu. From the minute we arrived the service was impeccable. The sommelier helped with our choice of wine and advised well. The waiter knew his stuff and was able to give details of every part of each dish we were considering. The little extras between courses were very tasty. It’s not cheap at Mere but you certainly get what you’re paying for. Didn’t see Monica but they did a nice candle and piped birthday wish for one of our party. Would highly recommend a visit to Mere.
