Really good night. Lamb was a little fatty and cheese platter did not have cheddar but apart from that, meal was quality

The food was really good and we had an enjoyable evening. One fault - they need to correct the description of 'key lime pie' this was a cake, nothing like what was expected, and the reaction from staff reduced the score on service.

Lovely restaurant- you arrive in the bar first which can be really busy but once you go upstairs its lovely! Reasonable price meal- wish there was more mozzarella on salad though. Staff very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Came here during lunch hour to go for the set lunch menu. A very tasty sounding selection on the menu with some chalkboard specials which you could have in place of a set menu course. Food came out in great time, was really tasty and well presented. Great service. The price is brilliant as well for a quick lunchtime meal or a catch up with friends. Recommend it for sure.

Nice location and very good staff-polite friendly and chatty. We went for Mother's Day and they didn't have a special menu-it was just their normal Sunday set menu and didn't really make my mum feel special at all. Three courses for £11 or so is cheap so you can't really complain and be too pernickety as you do get alot for your money but I wasn't amazed. For example for starters I had mushrooms and bri on ciabatta bread. It came out on french stick bread, with a tiny mushroom and hardly any brie so very dry, main course I has mussels and they were the smallest things ever (did not fill me up at all). It is a good place to go if you don't want to spend too much and yet still have a three course meal.

Really nice and chilled environment. Food was good and the three course offer was good value for money. Only complaint was that it wasn't very warm where we were sat.

I took my girlfriend for a Valentine's meal and was blown away by the quality. The food is very reasonable - Fothergill's run set menus that are very well priced for what you get. I had the most incredible mussels starter (leek and cider sauce I think), then I had a really dice duck confit dish. All in all I will be going soon and have already recommended Fothergill's to friends who've booked. The restaurant is nearby the castle too which for me is one of the nicest areas of town. Keep up the amazing work! If you've not been yet you really need to give it a go - and definitely try the mussels :)

Food and drinks were reasonably priced. We stayed for 2 hours and at no time were we hurried or made to feel we should vacate our table. It was a very relaxed lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed.We would go again.
