Light on the Common

I love this place. Whether going for breakfast, lunch or dinner, food is always excellent and the menu varies based on seasonal availability. simple, good quality food.

service was slower than normal as they were very busy. Food was excellent apart from the French fries instead of real chips however the home made tartare sauce made up for it.

love this restaurant - go to for ambience, great food, great service in great surroundings

Always a great place to eat and communicate. Thank you

Amazing food and service, far above level of price charged

Excellent ambiance, friendly staff and fast service. Portions not that big though

Very nice food well priced and charming staff - will go again

A pleasant lunch with good food and friendly, welcoming staff.

Staff very helpful and pleasant. Lovely lunch! Will obviously return.

Great food and service. Quality, taste, quantity and price all in harmony:)

Superb piece of cod with peronata on new potatoes and samphire. Only negative is no non-alcoholic beer, but they do serve Meantime, so I had the real thing!

Quiet Thursday night as only 3 tables occupied. Service fine and attentive. Menu changed since last visi two months ago. Thought the menu was less varied and we all thought not as good as usual, especially the selection of main courses which were disappointing. Set menu bland and what you cook at home cod and potatoes or pork and potatoes. Loud waitress sitting doing nothing but shouting at her two colleagues,not what wanted to hear. Food ordered was satisfactory, courgette and halloumi stater good. Chocolate fudge cake was dry. Shall check menu before visit again.

V quiet as a Monday night, but still a nice ambiance. Food was absolutely delicious! Inventive first course of courgette fritters and haloumi, then a huge pork chop cooked to tender perfection. Will be back and can thoroughly recommend

We had a delightful evening. Enjoying delicious food which was beautifully cooked & presented. The staff were attentive & polite.. a good atmosphere to catch up with old friends

Service very good - food awful. Don't bother!! Haven't been for a couple of years, and food was always very good - however, things have changed. My friend's main (tangine - was inedible -fowl tasting and swimming in oil. I had the steak - asked for medium rare. Came well down and slightly burnt on outside, plus with large bit of gristle. I asked for extra salad instead of fries - I got a couple of extra green leaves. However, salad was inedible as well as absolutely drenched in oily dressing (which I hadn't asked for). They did produce a separate salad when I complained, but the overall standard of food was very, very poor, and way overpriced....Don't waste your money...

Great little restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food! We had the salt beef hash which was delightfully delicious! After chicken for our main course we were so full so could only manage a coffee!

Always have a very enjoyable and delicious meal here with friendly staff and nice surroundings Highly recommend this delightful restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner

We had a delicious dinner last night in this friendly and cosy village restaurant. The service is excellent and the menu is fantastic - really varied and we all fancied many dishes on the menu. They have a great value set menu which I opted for. They were very understanding with my allergies and catered accordingly. Will definitely be coming back for dinner. It’s already a breakfast favourite.

Excellent as always. Went for mums 70th. Every dish we had was delicious and every plate wiped clean. At end of the meal staff sang happy birthday and bought her a lovely little cupcake with candle to blow out/ a great night and we will be back.

Excellent food and service in a lovely situation. Would certainly return. Look forward to visiting for both lunch and morning coffee. Are dogs allowed at the outside tables?

Very welcoming atmosphere, cosy and warm with a real fire. The food was of an excellent standard with a good variety but not overwhelming. We will definitely be returning.

Great food and fast, friendly service. Lovely atmosphere too. I also thought it was good value for money considering the well-above average food. We'll be back!

A very good local staple. 5 of us had dinner there last night and it was a good choice for a friends' night out. Service was friendly and attentive, food was above averagely good, portions spot on (large, if anything). Only small niggles might be the overly bright lighting and the lack of a cocktail menu, but overall a very good evening only a few steps away from Hemingways (which is a very good cocktail bar).

Lovely atmosphere, staff very attentive and food was exceptionally good!

It was our first time at Light on the Common. The staff were friendly, and the level of service was good. Unfortunately we found the food distinctly average, and some things just not good at all (my Mum's sourdough toast which was served with her pate was too hard to eat, and the sweet chilli sauce with the squid was more like a syrup). All in all we found it disappointing, particularly when you consider lunch for two with a bottle of wine came to £90 incl. tip.
