    Our dinner experience couldn't be better! First time patron. I wish I remember our server's name, a very friendly and knowledgeable young man Sunday evening. We started with the English Pea Ravioli. My friend had the Chicken Schnitzel and I had the Braised Prime short rib stroganoff, which were all very very delectable! We 3 glasses of wine between us but he gave me a little "top off" (I had only 1 glass). A nice little bonus! We were celebrating a birthday, we ordered a desert and got a 2nd one for the celebration! Great atmosphere, service and food.

    Starter (buratta) was so salty couldn't really eat it. House wine was grim. Friends were ambivalent about their fish n chips and burger. Service was great but £35 a head for very average pub grub is steep

    We had a great family lunch & catch up at The Vine on Easter Monday. The food was fresh, tasty and served promptly. Staff were attentive, flexible and smiley. There was a good selection for vegetarians. Cotes de Rhone was tasty.

    Hey Gillyloo, Thanks for your lovely review! We are so happy you enjoyed the food and service we do pride ourselves on what we do here at The Vine. We hope to see you again real soon! Team Vine

    The service was quite bad we waited 20 minutes to order drinks, we then waited half an hour between our starters and our main which came out tasting stale and cold the roast potatoes were tough and starchy the cauliflower cheese was hard the child Mac and cheese came out so hot that he was waiting ages to eat it and then we had to ask for the bill twice and said we didn’t want to pay the service charge as we were unhappy with the service and realised later that we were still charged

    We had booked a table for 4 people, but were given a strange shuffle board table. It was not particularly comfortable, and when we arrived we were told there would be no promise of seats.
