   Amazing meal in great environment. Waiting staff attentive and knowledgeable. I keep replaying each course in my head trying to hold onto the exquisite flavours. Can’t wait to go again, but will have to be a very occasional treat as not cheap. If any jobs come up as food tasters for new dishes on the menu I’ll be first to apply.

   Had a very pleasant experience. They catered for lunch for 4, including two children. Would highly recommend this experience any and all. The Master Chef tasting lunch was excellent and a real variety from some very talented individuals. The drinks that were made for both the adults and the children were well thought out and enhanced our dining experience greatly. Well run and welcoming restaurant.

    I arranged lunch here to celebrate my engagement to my girlfriend. Although the food was delicious, we were disappointed by the overall experience. We opted for the wine pairing, however the sommelier forgot during three of seven courses which course we were having and was speaking about food we weren’t eating - we therefore got the impression he didn’t really care about pairing the wine to the food. My girlfriend was having the vegetarian menu without the mushroom course - the sommelier didn’t realise this until mid way through the sixth course and was speaking about the pescatarian menu throughout. This was unfortunately far from the experience we expected for the price of the meal and we felt very little care was taken to deliver value. Memorable for the wrong reason, sadly.

    We had a fabulous meal at Ugly Butterfly. The food was exceptional with sauces to die for. From the initial greeting to our goodbyes, the staff were also exceptional, friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The whole experience was delightful and I loved the birthday 'candle' ...perfect and delicious. Thank you all again and hoping to come down and see you all again soon.

    We absolutely loved the whole experience. The food was incredibly good , delicious and wonderfully presented. The staff, especially Mark and Toby were fantastic. We sat at 7 and we were disappointed to leave at 11 it was a wonderful experience. We would most definitely return. We would have no hesitation recommending the ugly Butterfly. You won’t be disappointed 😊

    Visiting the Ugly Butterfly never disappoints. It was great tasting a new season’s menu with more delicious courses to tantalise the tastebuds. The whole experience is an absolute pleasure, all of the dedicated staff are very welcoming and have great informative knowledge about all of the foods and recommendations of drinks. Looking forward to our next visit already!

    My friends and I came to the Ugly Butterfly to celebrate our birthdays jointly and my oh my what a good decision that was. The 7 course taster menu delivered fresh new gorgeousness with every dish. I have been asked which was the best bit and it honestly feels like picking a favourite offspring. The cocktails were utterly perfect, with mind blowingly good combinations of flavour, presented absolutely perfectly. The wine was delightful. The Ugly Butterfly crew are really something else, all so friendly and helpful -the service was impeccable. I will recommend any time I have the opportunity to. A huge thank you to you all, we loved it and you made our year.

    Food and staff were amazing. Felt rushed during dining. Had the wine pairing and the taster menu. Didn’t have time to finish one glass of wine before the next dish was ready. Had to ask them to slow it down.

    A superb meal with excellent service particularly the extra attention for my wife’s big birthday! The friendly, knowledgeable staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We though there could have been a few extra minutes between courses but this is a v small thing in that overall picture.

    The whole experience from start to finish was excellent, booked online with and the menu was easy, remember to read all the details. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and happy to see us, taking time to have a conversation and not just rush to our seats, first cocktails, explained and described by the bar staff, in the bar, no rush. Moved to the dining room, Dinner with the wine experience was fantastic, each course of food was explained and wine which complemented the course. Finest dining and great occasion.

    Amazing meal in so many ways. The service was perfect right from the moment we arrived - helpful, friendly & timely. The taster menu is a journey of flavours carefully choreographed to build and paced nicely. We enjoyed the wine pairing which added an extra touch - some interesting choices explained well and complemented the food. Not going to go into every dish - you just have to try it! Lots of space & amazing views 10/10

    The evening was just made to be amazing with the wonderful atmosphere created by the very attentive staff. They were all so knowledgeable about the food and the wines an absolute credit. The food was just so special with so many flavours you just didn’t want it to end and the wine pairing was just a delight to listen to the wine sommelier.
