Staff were very friendly but waited around 30 mins for the starter then the kitchen got two of our orders wrong. One missed starter and one wrong main. Quite pricey. But food was very good, when it eventually arrived. They did also take both of the wrong orders off the bill. Won't be going back as it was our first time going there.

Superb Sunday lunch. I had honey mustard baked gammon and other half had turkey. Amazing selection of vegetables including 3 types of potato, Cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and ratatouille. Summer fruit crumble and custard and fresh fruit salad and ice cream for dessert. Very popular so definitely need to book.

I'd heard great things about this place so decided to book in for my son's birthday. There was a table of 7 of us and every one of us said how amazing the food was. I had the gluten free fish and chips which was so tasty and my husband had tapas which I stole a lot of and it was all so delicious. Ben came out personally to check about food preferences/ allergies etc and all the staff were really lovely and attentive. Prices were also really reasonable and the portions were big. Thanks for a great first visit, we'll be back soon.

The food is very nice,presentation is great, but wasn't aware when booking a table there was a live band playing in pub side of the business. Had my 10 week granddaughter with us so we got moved to the other end of the empty adjoining function room where it was much quieter. The staff were lovely and helpful especially ,and apologetic when my step daughter & partner food choices weren't available. We don't have a simple pallet,by a long way,but we found some things were not for us! But hey,everyone is different.

Amazing food, really good service and friendly people. Ben came out and spoke to us after a short delay on our desserts which was good of him. Definately will be back soon 5*

If I was scoring the food alone , I would absolutely be giving five stars as everything we ordered was lovely. However, the speed of service massively let it down today. We arrived at 1.30pm and ordered straight away. We knew that we were going to take advantage of the 3 course menu option for £18 which is great value for money. Our starters didn't arrive until 2.25pm so you can imagine we were absolutely starving by this point. The waitress told us that there was a table of 17 in which was the reason for the delay, however there was only two other tables taken of two and one table of four so no more than 25 people in total in the whole restaurant. Disappointingly we then had to wait a further 45 mins for our main course. By this point we had given up with the dessert and decided to forget it. We asked for the bill and then waited ages for that too as one waitress had calculated it then left it on the side of the bar and forgot about it, in the end I went up to the bar and collected it from the side myself! By this point it was 3.40pm god knows what time we would have left had we stayed for the desserts. I was slightly disappointed as I would have like to have tried them as the food itself was amazing. A great restaurant in all, just a shame about the service. I will definately recommend the food to friends and family in the hope that they don't have the slow service that we did today.

Booked a table for 2 for Tapas Tuesday, and enjoyed every moment. The staff are really nice and polite, and good at what they do too. The food was absolutely fantastic and presented really nice. We'll definitely be back again soon. You should definitely have this place on your list if you want a nice evening out.

Had a great team Christmas meal at Ben's Kitchen today. From start to finish it was spot on. The meal was fantastic...such amazing flavours and the portion sizes were excellent. I had the prawn cocktail & the beef - it was tasty, cooked to perfection & there was plenty of it too. Overall 5* - A great atmosphere, friendly, awesome food & super prices...say no more...book a table today!
