    This was our first visit to The Bistro and we were delighted. Everything was perfect from when we arrived until we left. Every single member of staff were an absolutely pleasure to deal with, attentive without being overbearing, friendly and just really lovely people in general. The food was delicious, we had the rib eye with garlic prawns and that alone will make us definitely return. The steak is sourced from a local butcher and it was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back.

    The food from start to finish was absolutely cooked to perfection. Our first visit to the eatery and it won’t be the last. Staff were excellent also and the service was first class.

    A little portion of mashed potatoes would have made the lamb dish much nice

    I would highly recommend this Bistro food, service and wine list were excellent 👍, however attention does need to be taken in cleaning the tables as ours was very sticky

    We had a lovely evening. Great food, good portion size - I had a main and no starter and it was perfect for me. Excellent mussels. Would definitely come again.
