    The Nest served us delicious food at a very affordable price. Service was great. We could take the whole family - the baby in pram and a dog. We will be back.

    Wasn't busy when we went as horrible weather but great service, nice quiet atmosphere as wasn't busy which we enjoyed and good food choice which was very tasty. Only negative was plates were cold which meant food could have been hotter but this is only minor issue. Would definitely go back.

    We visited on 11 January for lunch and spent the afternoon. From the start the staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and checked in on us without being overbearing. The waiting staff on shift that day are a credit to the company. The food was delicious and the restaurant was comfortable, beautifully decorated and warm. The music was a little loud where we sat but was turned down when we asked. The only thing that lets the place down are the toilets which are very cold. One toilet was out of order and the other barely locked and although it has a sink in it, you have to come out into the main room to dry your hands. However, this did not detract from what was a great afternoon catching up with a friend with no rush to move on by the staff. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Fantastic meal & service. So many appealing things on the menu it was so hard to decide what to order! 4 adults & 3 kids agreed how tasty everything was. Staff super friendly & attentive. Highly recommend. Only negative thing was not being able to add on a tip when paying bill by card and none of us had cash to leave a deserved tip - sorry! Will make up for it when we return!
