    We have had Sunday lunch here on many occasions and it has always been excellent, this time we opted for an evening meal and weren’t dissapointed. A nice table, pleasant staff and an excellent meal for both of us. Will certainly be back!!

    Sunday lunch should be the highlight of the week. I think they are struggling to decide their identity. Should we serve a proper plate busting Sunday lunch or fine dining. Unfortunately it falls between the 2 and therefore fails particularly at the price point they want to achieve. Everything else staff, service no complaints.

    Sampled the Festive Menu which was really good value for a birthday meal on a Saturday night (3 courses £35). The cauliflower risotto was delicious and the financier dessert was 10/10. Service excellent as always. Only downside to evening was getting through the bar to access the restaurant. Absolutely rammed with post match drinkers.

    This is a beautiful venue. Cosy and full of atmosphere. We love it for our Christmas do every year. But the food was not up to its usual standard this year. Portions smaller and veg hard and under cooked. My starter was cold which I don’t think it should have been. Sad but didn’t totally ruin the experience.

    My friend and I had a wonderful time at Hibou Blanc and would highly recommend it! The decor, ambiance and service were perfect t. The Christmas lunch menu is varied and good value at £35. The vol au vent followed by cod tasted delicious however the main course was a little cold. My friend enjoyed the vegan menu. Looking forward to going back!
