    Met up with some friends for a birthday lunch. Have been to Gees several times before and loved everything about it. The service is excellent and the food delicious. The only downside is the amount of time you are allowed to stay at your table especially as some guests had driven a long way for this celebration.

    Easy to book, found parking as advised Thankyou. LOVED the venue and rustic charm in the pot filled entrance. Staff were unobtrusive and friendly. Starter was small and simple, main utterly delicious and cheese dessert perfect. The 13.5% service charge seemed high. Would love to visit again when the budget allows

    お店の雰囲気は、素晴らしく、ウエイターの対応もとても丁寧なものでした。前菜のコロッケもチーズの風味が美味しく、パスタもデリシャスで、満足しました。メインのステーキは見た目も素晴らしく、サラダは新鮮で、ステーキソースも抜群でした。

    The food was good, particularly the cauliflower soup, other dishes were on the light side e.g. small plate of linguine with very small and few scallops. The bill has a way of mounting up so that despite express lunches (2 courses on average) and no alcohol, the bill came to £158 for 4. the service charge at 13.5% obviously contributes to that. I prefer staff to be suitably remunerated and rewarded by genuinely discretionary gratuities when they go above and beyond.
    GeesResponded on 22 February 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this informative review, we appreciate your feedback. I have discussed with our kitchen team regarding the portion sizing and this is certainly something to consider for future services. Regarding the service charge, please rest assured that this does actually go to our teams, and they certainly strive to provide the best service they can. Nevertheless, I am glad to see that you enjoyed the atmosphere and the quality of the food. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind Regards, Roxy - Restaurant Manager
