The starters were better than the main courses. The main courses could have been more flavourful and better quality

I would very much recommend eating at the Firepit, it’s a good choice for a date night. The service, aesthetic and atmosphere was amazing, my only gripe was the food portion, I expected more for what the price was but it all tasted very good

Hi Dylan. We are so pleased that you enjoyed dining with us. The whole team work hard to deliver memorable experiences, and hearing kind words really means the world to us all. I'm sorry to heat that you felt the portion sizes were slightly on the smaller size, I will be sure to feed this back to our Head Chef. We really look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

We had a wonderful evening at the Firepit. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for them. Our whole table had the tasting menu with wine flight which was superb. We were extremely late to finish (unintended but company and comfort meant time ran away with us) yet staff did not make us feel like we had outstayed our welcome instead looked after us until we were ready to stumble to our room. Will definitely return as I’ve lost count of how many times we have commented about what a perfect evening it was.

We spent one night at the Cave Hotel and we took the opportunity to dine there. We went for the tasting menu which was excellent across the board. Service was also very good.

Fantastic food. The most gorgeous dishes served beautifully and complemented each other in a fantastic way. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. The wine was glorious, great pairing with the food. Service was amazing, very attentive staff - particularly the tall male waiter with the dark curly / permed hair and the taller man in the bar - excellent staff members. Ambience and lighting was great. Overall, the food made the experience exceptional and we will obviously be back for the food and hope to enjoy the atmosphere more next time.
