There were 10 of us and the food, service and ambience were all impeccable as usual (despite it being really busy in the restaurant, as usual!). Byfords never disappoints - huge thumbs-up from all of us

The afternoon tea was lovely, outstanding food and value, great choice of items especially the Macaron and the Chocolate black forest gateau. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. The table was a little cramped and on a slope but suppose it all adds to the ambience. We shall return with our golden tickets in the new year! Thank you for another wonderful time at byfords.

We had such a lovely meal, watching all the excitement build for the Holt Christmas light switch on. We asked for a table in the window and got such a lovely table, a really beautiful setting. Our food was just lovely, the service was friendly and very professional at a busy time. A great experience, thank you 🎄
