    Having enjoyed dining at Core by Clare Smyth, we were keen to try this restaurant too. The quality of Core is very much present at Corenucopia. The food was delicious and the service very friendly and attentive. Stand out dish was the Lobster bisque. So many dishes we wanted to try…we shall have to come back.

    Exceptional from start to finish. Can’t fault the quality of the food, service and ambience. A real treat. Thank you Scott, Lynn and Valentin! I gave 4 stars for value as a 3 course lunch with some snacks cost over £200 per head. I would have loved a little complimentary canapé to start or a small biscuit/ sweet with the tea/ coffee. A minor comment for an otherwise faultless experience.

    A flawless meal. Food, wine, negroni, potatoes, service, ambience, setting, location - all outstanding. The lobster bisque in particular is not to be missed.

    Food was impeccable. I ordered the beef tartare, scallops, fish and chips and strawberry pavlova. They really take pride in their potatoes as the potato in the beef tartare and the chips were both insanely good. It was a truly enjoyable meal and special mention to the very professional and knowledgable Danish lady who looked after me super well. I also like to mention that they have good music - really livens up the place. The only tiny thing is that seats are really cramped. Men would struggle to get into those sofa seats.

    Loved the food, loved the service, loved the atmosphere - my parents and I have been watching videos of dining experiences at the restaurant for months so to finally experience it for ourselves was special. I would be happy to go back and would be excited to have some of the same things as had previously (fried oyster, pommes anna, mushy peas, glazed carrots, petits pois à la francaise, sticky toffee pudding, custard tart, soft serve honey blossom ice cream, tomato tartlet) but would be very happy to try other dishes - I had the fish and chips for main - would love to try the toad in the hole, chicken Kiev or different cuts of meat.
