The food was delicious beautifully presented felt very rushed by the staff plates removed leaving vegetables side dishes still in containers on the tables was not given time to pick the vegetables, not offered menus again in case we would like a desert also no tea or coffee offered. Restaurant closes at 9 pm how can that be for hotel guests. People were being turned away . Won’t be returning

We were celebrating our 5th anniversary and very rarely spend a lot of money when going out to dinner, especially because portion size is always an issue. Not at the Fireplace though. The entire menu is complete value for money! Quality of produce, technique, ambience, great service AND amazing food are what you’re paying for and boy, did they deliver. Thank you Fireplace for making our anniversary all the more special!

The whole experience at the Fireplace was to celebrate my husbands birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant and the food was amazing, the only thing that let it down was the pork belly my husband had was 90% fat and 10% meat. In all fairness to the restaurant we did not say anything to them. The waiter was super respectful, polite and attentive without being invasive. All round would 100% come back again as this is a place worth going to when celebrating a nice occassion.

Food, wine, cheese, (didn't have dessert) noise level, many thoughts have been given to do it right. For example, wooden floor, not concrete or tiles so that people don't have to shout at each other to have a normal conversation, and cheese, which won't kill the taste of wine. Even glass wine lists are for wine lovers. What's a point of serving bad wine when food is great?

Disappointed! We originally booked the night before but were changed because they now had a function - we were offered a bottle of wine at dinner which we did not get. We ordered 2 steaks and bother were overcooked - both sent back and replacements given. Upon arriving there were 2 large groups/tables which were extremely loud - at times unbearable and couldn't hear each other talk.

Meal was good. The vegetables that came served with the meat were cold but the extra side dishes were lovely. Glasses and cutlery were immaculately clean as was the tablecloth and napkin.
