I have been to the Box Tree many times. Yesterday was my best visit. Everything was superb. Plenty of staff working and all well trained. I go to far more Michelin starred restaurants than most people - perhaps 10 a year. Yesterday's lunch with 2 star standard. Let's hope you are properly recognised soon. Many thanks.

Fabulous time and food, we loved it! However, we didn't particularly like the genre of music that was playing and it was a bit loud.

This was our second visit to The Box Tree and the meal and service were exemplary. Our last visit was two months ago and there was a completely new menu to enjoy, as delicious as the first. Would highly recommend.

Arrived early for our meal. Had a drink in the bar and then were shown to our table on time. Waiters were attentive, friendly and helpful. We had a lunchtime tasting menu bought as a birthday gift. The food was excellent , comprehensively described by the waiters. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. We ordered wine by the glass as we felt the choice was better in the more reasonable price ranges. Coffee and petit fours to finish. All in all a lovely treat but not for the faint hearted regarding their wallets. We would love to return but would need to be another special occasion to justify the spend.
