We enjoyed, nay, loved our experience at Fitz’s for Christmas lunch. It could not have been better. Cocktails to champagne to burgundy, pared with magnificent dishes, including lobster bisque, scallops, turkey, pudding and more. OMG it was great. But the service was spectacular. We had Naeera, a French lady who was exceptionally attentive. Over four hours of bliss! Thank you Naeera — you made Christmas 2024 so special for us.

I’d heard about the restaurant and as being of German parentage decided to take my sister, niece and her partner for Christmas lunch. A really wonderful experience. The staff were pleasant and attentive, the food was served without delay and I have to say the portions and the flavours were delicious, just as I remember from my mother’s cooking and all reasonably priced. Lovely venue and I would recommend to friends.

Loved the experience but meal was a bit ruined by adding heavily fishy broccoli as a side to a beef cheek dish. We didn’t realise the side came with the fishy topping. :( Thought the portions of main were small for price point. Charming staff and really glad we visited! Thanks!
