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 🎄

Fabulous meal at Byfords . The menu is not extensive but the food is plentiful and tasty. Great value too . Slightly disappointed that on the booking , when asked if it was an occasion I had indicated it was a 50th but no mention was made of this at the table . Why ask the question if it's not noted.
