Heard the nicest anecdote about a family friend who intended to come in for lunch and, having inquired about the prices, was told "If you have to know the price then you cant afford it". What a cliched line; whomever said it should be embarrassed.

Myself and my girlfriend have had two fantastic experiences at The Boxtree. On both occasions the staff were fantastic and spent plenty of time chatting to us and helping us through the menu. The food was fantastic as you d expect but the whole atmosphere of the restaurant was what made it special.

Having booked our wedding catering with Box Tree Events after recommendation we decided to treat both sets of parents to a meal there to celebrate. What a fantastic decision, the food was genuinely faultless - nobody had any complaints and the service was perfect - Chris who I assume is the front o...

The food is first class, the team are very attentive, professional and committed to high levels of service. They know their food and wine and nothing is too much trouble. It's great to have a restaurant of this quality still producing great food after almost 60 years in business.

From the minute we set foot in the building until the time we left we had nothing but exceptional food, service and ambiance. We opted for the tasting menu accompanied by the recommended wines for each course. The sommelier was knowledgable and encouraging. The wines he recommended paired beautifull...

This restaurant deserves a second Michelin star. Perfect food - fresh, flavours, quantity, colourful, innovative - perfect attentive service, unique ambiance... A truly great 5 restaurant off the beaten track and definitely worth a stop.

Visited here with a group of family for the Sunday lunch. From start to finish the staff made us feel very welcome, and were very helpful in explaining the menu etc. to us if needed. The only gripe was not being able to add an extra person to the booking a will earlier, they said it's not possible.

Excellent evening; the food was up to the standard expected from a restaurant with a Michelin star. The setting was quite unique with an antique looking interior, and the staff were warm and attentive. The multi tasking sommelier was approachable and informative.

Over the last few years this place has got stronger and stronger. We tend to go twice a year and in the last 5 years we have only had one evening of poor service. The menus cater for different tastes, they have one of the most comprehensive wine lists i have ever seen and the attention to detail on ...

Amazing food here. We booked in to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. The ambience felt exclusive, and even though they were busy (table of 20 upstairs) you felt like you were dining in a small, intimate restaurant. We opted for A La Carte because the chocolate dessert wasn't on the set menu. Th...

The food was absolutely delicious but we found the atmosphere very stuffy and frankly the service was extremely disappointing. We had to wait 40 minutes for a member of staff to ask us what we would like for our dessert. The dress code is somewhat confining. Shorts and a tee shirt absolutely not....

Visited with the family for Sunday lunch. The starters were fantastic but unfortunately it was downhill from there. The main course was nothing out of the ordinary - on a par with a decent pub roast - and the desserts were disappointing. The blackberry souffle looked great but lacked flavour, and wa...
