    We went to the Fox and Grapes unplanned, booking at the last minute. It was excellent. Two courses, great wine selection, excellent service (from Louie especially). Despite living locally I don’t think we’ve been since 2022 - we won’t take as long going back.

    Great place to go for special occasions. Very nice decor, great food and great service. It would have been good to have a xmas decoration or plant on the tables as a little plain.

    We had one of our best, if not the best meal at Myrtle. A lovely experience from start to finish. Drinks in the wine bar next door before being warmly greeted and shown to our table. The restaurant is on two floors and pretty intimate but all diners were perfectly spaced…….everything has been considered. We had the nine course menu. Every single course shines and offers a taste sensation with perfectly balanced flavours and textures. Each offering comes with a snippet of information about its origin - providing another layer of interest. The team really have nailed it……The front of house service is exceptional- friendly, funny, knowledgeable and extremely professional, whilst the chefs create absolute magic in the snug kitchen. Anna is one clever and extremely talented chef. My husband had a very Happy Birthday (which was acknowledged). Thank you Team Myrtle!
