Yet another fantastic meal at Quince. After delightful starters of lamb and date patewith toast and date chutney and fish croquettes on to the magnificent main course. Coq-au-van so perfect the meat fell off the bone. Wonderful sauce with a perfect accompaniment of roast sprouts and lovely greens. My wife had mackerel with buttered spinach and other great tasting items to balance the dish. We added some Lyonnaise potatoes as the potatoes are always good. Dessert, oh what a desert! Think treacle tart but made with honey with a touch of ipa. The pastry was so crisp and we just loved it. It was accompanied with a little crème fresh. A delightful wine made the meal even more perfect. The chefs can be seen hard at work and the results are stunning. Such perfect staff looking after us. Nothing is any trouble and they are so well informed about the food and so friendly. Don’t wince, go to Quince.

We booked Quince for our wedding anniversary. From the start to the end, the service was of very high standard. The waiters were very nice and attentive. The food was truly amazing, we had the three course set Sunday Lunch which I would recommend. The best Sunday Lunch we have had. We will return, thank you for a wonderful time and for our anniversary card.
