   "The Fishes has been our go-to spot for the past 20 years, and it never disappoints. We visited today for a birthday lunch, and as always, the food was exceptional, and the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. With the sun shining, we decided to sit outside on the decking area, which was lively and bustling, adding to the great atmosphere. A perfect experience, as always!"

   Excellent roast, meat beautifully cooked. Yorkshires, cauliflower cheese and stuffing were top class. Nice touch with the offer of extra pots & yorks. Would highly recommend

   Lovely location. Sunday roast was actually a little bland, the chicken gravy especially. Good portion though, not too large. Please also give the place a spruce up. The window sills needs repainting and the ladies toilets need a jet wash on the floor! Check behind doors & skirting for the build up of grime and poor paintwork.

   A beautiful restaurant set back from the road in a beautiful setting. Staff are friendly and professional as well as attentive. The menu is varied are delicious for starters and mains, unfortunately for me I’m not keen on chocolate desserts and ice cream so dessert was not an option as in many restaurants. Why not a fruity dessert or an option with cream or custard. This was the only thing that disappointed me. A wonderful ambience and an enjoyable meal .

   Had dinner with my friends last night and we really enjoyed the whole evening. The staff, as always, was amazing and special thanks to Savanah that served our table, she has always been super friendly and professional.

   Took two clients for a business meal and was defintely not disappointed. They are British and German but have lived in the USA for years so a great steak and a pie and mash were the order of the day. Great atmosphere even on a Monday and friendly staff.

    This was the first time we had been here, my parents have been before. It was beautiful and the food was amazing. Only downside was we had to ask for napkins and side plates, the steak knives came out after the steak. Maybe it was because it was busy but it seemed like there wasn’t enough staff as the little details were missed. Overall it was lovely. We will definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. 😊
