    One of our favourite go to restaurants. Food was great as always although noticed there are a few supplements to be paid now on certain foods. Eg an additional £20 for fillet steak (it was delicious), an extra £10 for halibut, (it was nice but not worth the extra in my opinion). Only other point was we were told they needed the table back at a certain time which we had no problem with but we had pre booked in advance and we didn’t delay anything, the service was slower than usual but it was busy. We had literally just finished when advised the table was required now. All in all a lovely meal with friends as always. Highly recommend.

    Perfect from start to finish. Becky ensured we had everything we needed and spent time helping my wife choose the perfect wine for each course. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was served in good time and tasted delicious. Thank you for helping our valentines evening rune beautifully.

    Valentine’s Day lunch was absolutely delicious. Both of us had cheese soufflé to start followed by cod and halibut. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée. Could not fault anything and the service was also first class.

    Excellent night with friends at Hibou Blanc. Lovely busy atmosphere with friendly attentive staff - the restaurant manager was brilliant and she found us a table in the bar when we moved from the restaurant. The food was delicious - we ordered prawn cocktail, cheese soufflé, soup starters and sea bass & veggie option mains Great wine list and a throughly enjoyable evening
