Being an irregular diner at Bridge Inn I found it a little disappointing that the overall experience has slipped over the past 3 - 4 months. The menu isn't as exciting as in the past although regular changes seem to being made within the constraints that the clientele allow. My latest meal to introduce a new female friend to the establishment was rather disappointing to say the least. The main meal came out what one would call cool, the gnocchi with the texture of wet pastry, the fillet steak dry where most of the juices were on the plate and the veggies, well - and my sons parmigiana dry with the toppings melted into each other. Enough said. The establishment I must say were quick to reimburse part of the cost, however, one would prefer and expect a decent offering for the price. Our next meal was at a different locality and very enjoyable. Regards, A Brown.

Would like to see more healthy options. Had mango beer battered flathead. Could not taste mango. Fish tasteless. Salad in a bowl not eaten. Did not like taste. Disappointed. Will try lounge food next. Others in group had steak & loved it. Love ability to book online.

Had a great time, however for a Bistro there are far to many televisions. Had to walk through the Bar and Sports bar to reach the Bistro. Would rather there be a separate entrance for the Bistro. Otherwise the staff are excellent as is the food. Will return.

Food was great. Husband ordered 2 beers from drinks list- not available. Son ordered porterhouse steak - not available. Need to update menu or waiter to tell us things not available before we look at menu. Not off to a great start. Meals were great though and were really enjoyed them.
