Côte Bishop's Stortford

Great value, delicious lunch with efficient and very friendly service delivered by happy staff, as always. Thank you!

Our waitress was brilliant very friendly, she told us what was not available on the menu with sincere apologies. The meal was excellent, it could not be faulted. We had already called head office regarding vouchers which we had which had unfortunately fallen out of date, however your company has been really good and allowed us to still use them. We were even asked by another waiter if we were warm enough, lovely service.

A really lovely friendly atmosphere, with very good service given by the staff and especially Adam. Would highly recommend. Thank you very much for a lovely afternoon/ evening. We will definitely return.

A nice welcome, our table waiting for us. A very busy evening with staff coping well, with what was demanded of them. Had to wait a little longer to be served which wasn’t a problem . Food was good as usual. Thanks to staff for a lovely evening!

Staff were so friendly very efficient and good service well done !!

excellent service and good food, one of the best places in Stortford to eat

A very pleasant lunch with pals, as always. Exceptional food, atmosphere and attentive staff. What more could you ask for?

I booked a group dinner for 27 people. The management staff helped with how I want to arrange the seating. They also helped with choice of food when I wanted to depart from the standard prestige menu. On the night the service was faultless and everyone commented on the high standard of food at a very reasonable price. I do not think, sorry I know, it will not long before I will be asked to arrange an evening at Cote in Bishops Stortford.

Great restaurant for a business lunch. Food is of consistently good quality.

As always, courteous service, good food at fair price. It provides the ideal choice for pre-theatre dining.

A lovely welcome. Food excellent as usual. Friendly staff. A quiet start to the evening, but good attention!

We were served very well, food was lovely and great lunch time offer.

No one came to check if our meal was ok after serving. My wife's meal wasn't up to standard and wasn't asked until we settled the bill. All we received was a sorry and a complete lack of interest from our waiter which based on previous experience of dining out simply wasn't enough.

Very busy night. We waited over 50 minutes for mains to be served fish was over done and dry around the edges the pork crackling was soft. Manageress refunded our wine which was a nice gesture. We use this Cotes often and this is the first time we have been disappointed.

When our food finally arrived it was delicious and beautifully cooked. I recognise it was Saturday evening but we waited over 90 minutes for the main course and as we were entertaining friends from out of town were so disappointed.

Excellent food and service throughout and a really enjoyable evening

Great food and nice choice but best of all were the staff friendly and had great balance of being attentive and not rushing us we were there for about 3hrs and would definitely recommend this branch to other friends and family. Thanks for a great lunch .

It was a friend's birthday treat & the MD was most accomodating, allowing us to change my comp cocktails to 3 glasses of bubbly. Thank you!. Very polite service AND...i was really impressed with the fish parmentier. I had it before a few years ago & was disappointed that it was sloppy, with very little fish, but I thought I'd try it again. This time it was totally different I'm please to say with more fish than many restaurants serve. Please don't change it!

The food was excellent. Service was friendly, but unfortunately very slow.

Lovely lunch, great food and service. The free cocktails were the icing on the cake!

Excellent as always lovely team of staff and forever welcoming. A a massive thank you

Staff were busy chatting to other tables. Had to get up to ask for sauces for our meal which didn’t turn up. Then had to ask again because they didn’t arrive

Starters arrived one minute after the olives. So, no time to relax with our aperatifs. My main course beef en croute was loaded with SUGAR, probably leaching out from the pastry. Yuck ! That makes two consecutive bad meals.

Lovely meal and a delicious free cocktail just for booking on-line! Service was excellent and all in all a very enjoyable meal!

A very good culinary experience and will definitely return, thank you.

We were a party of 4 Had a long wait to be served 1 meal had no problems 1 the sides didn’t come until half way through the meal had to ask a few times 2 desserts hot chocolate was cold and ice cream melted But these were replaced I feel that this must have been a one off We usually eat in Cambridge cote which has been of a good standard

The food the customer service and the ambiance was second to none. Highly recommend

Lovely family day out nice, food, staff and atmosphere. Thank you

Good experience with helpful staff. Menus much the same as for the last 12 months. Need a bit more innovation.

Lovely breakfast to celebrate a birthday. Food was lovely and service was great. Highly recommended!

First of all although I had booked a table for 4 over a week ago however we were shown to a table just for 2 - an error in the system . We then requested a booth table but were told they were not available although we were aware there were spaces throughout the evening. The service although friendly was slow with the wrong starter being served and a bottle of wine ordered forgotten about as well as water for the table.

Great experience, lovely staff and delicious food. I’ll definitely come back again and recommend for others.

Very attentive service, great food and amazing for people with food allergies

As always the food was excellent. Our lovely waitress was a joy. The “ladies that lunch “ all said we have never had a bad meal & all staff wonderful.

Cote had. the usual delicious food, great choice and efficient service

The restaurant continues to be our favourite family dine and much comment about service had been made over the past few months. The staff are rushed off their feet and last night there was 3 colleagues attending to a busy restaurant Concerns of slow service was immediately squashed after starters and drinks had been taken Needs another member of staff on peak times to help the guys who always strive to deliver great service

Great food and service. Love Adam who waited on us.

Very pleasant breakfast coffee and juice good nice surroundings quieter than usual

For the price and for a restaurant chain - Food good. Staff friendly.

First rate breakfast. Service was excellent. Food cooked perfectly well done again Cote

excellent food and service. My favourite place to eat in town.

We had such a lovely time, the food is excellent

A very enjoyable evening. Very good service and as always good value for money.

Service very poor. Waited 20mins for drinks. Had to remind them to get the water. One of our parties breakfast was forgotten. Gluten free bread came 10 mins after food. Scrambled egg was inedible. Won’t be coming back

Thank you. It was a great evening out. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was lovely. Our waiter was also brilliant. My wife and I will definitely be back soon.

We went to Cote to celebrate my birthday with my husband and two daughters and it was a disaster. All was fine with our starters, but when our main course arrived that was when the problems started. My daughter ordered the Fish Parmentier, she started eating it but then realised they had forgotten to put any mashed potatoes on it. It was replaced but still no potato, staff didn't come back to check everything was okay with our meals, the rest of us had finished our meals and my daughter had eaten nothing. Very poor customer service and poor quality food. Ruined my birthday meal out, so won't be going back there.

Great service from Maja , made it a fabulous experience.

Great staff and service. Gorgeous veal dish from September menu

Food was great, loved the new kids enveloppe with activities, which was a great hit with our daughter. Lost one star for service, as it could have been a little quicker.

We dined on a Saturday 3-courses and al la carte at c.£50 a head. Portions noticeably smaller than 6 months ago. The already small tumbler of frites were short for all diners and an egg cup of mushroom sauce is hard to justify at nearly £3. One quite small scoop of ice on the brownie at £6+ is also a little mean. We did complain about one of the steaks being mostly gristle (unusual) but no response apart from a nod really. We can see the attraction of the price-to-portion ratio of the weekday set menu so will probably stick with that in future and of course not go too hungry.
