I've eaten on a few special occasions at Tatlers over many years and have always enjoyed the experience. This was why I chose Tatlers to take my family to for my 70th birthday celebration meal. Once again it didn't disappoint. Belinda was friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented. Portion sizes generous for a fine dining restaurant, important as I do have some 'healthy' eaters amongst my family! Food is fresh and locally sourced. All very delicious. Nice that Femi popped our of the kitchen to thank us for visiting them. I definitely recommend Tatlers.

Our waitress Poy was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, I think a child’s menu would be advantageous. This was our grandsons 18th birthday and he was very pleased to enjoy his first legal drink with you all, and I believe the owner, whose name I didn’t know paid for his first pint, top bloke! So all in all a lovely pub and lovely experience, my wife and I will definitely be revisiting. Well done to all the team.
