Best British Restaurants in Barwell

Had the 9 course taster menu. Each course was excellent, although it was funny that dashi featured in the first three courses. It didn’t matter and we would have gladly drunk gallons. The only picky point was that I told them I am gluten intolerant on the booking and when we arrived, but still got given multiple courses with gluten ingredients. If I had assumed that they were correct, it could have been messy.

A good friend travelled many miles to meet me. I chose the Ivy as I have been going there ever since it opened in Birmingham and eat in the many Ivy restaurants in London and elsewhere. I trust the menu and the wine list. Today the only things that went wrong were a polite request for the table I usually get or the second best table ( in my opinion). Yet having booked several weeks ago both were taken. When were they booked? Secondly the double espresso arrived cold. It was unlike the Ivy to do that. I have known all the previous managers but not the present one. I must introduce myself at my next visit.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional environment supporting an excellent tasting menu. Unusual to find all plates were excellent! Easy parking and a very enjoyable and relaxed evening. Easy parking. I would recommend you give it a try.

great place overall all is top end , the dishes are really all well presented , classy and very tasty without being too pretentious few little nibbles in between courses make the experience even more enjoyable. Service and ambience are first class as well.

We visited Softley to celebrate my wifes birthday. We were welcomed to the restaurant as soon as we arrived. The restaurant was lovely and warm and were shown to our table. The staff were amazing, incredibly polite, efficient and friendly, the food was delicious, very tasty, and well presented. We were constantly asked if we required anything extra or more drinks. Overall it was a really fabulous experience and we would recommend Softleys to everyone. Absolutely first class restaurant.
