A delish plate of fresh and tasty food. Incredible interiors which welcomed you from the high street to another world. No detail is missed from the staff approach to the sweets with the bill. Will happily return to highdive over and over. And he quesadillas are a proven hangover revival cure.

A very pleasant dining experience. Apart from a rather muddy car park it is in a lovely setting. The tables are well spaced, the chairs perfectly comfortable and the general ambiance is very nice. The staff were pleasant and professional; service was well timed and the set menu was very good. All in all it is a place to which we shall return. Well done all.

Lovely lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Great food, lovely friendly service. We had the roast dinner (vegan option) and it was so tasty and well cooked. We followed this with desserts - which were also excellent - chocolate genache and Lemon posset. House red (Malbec) was very good according to the drinkers. This is a lovely chilled restaurant serving high quality food and offering great service. We felt welcomed and looked after. We will return.
