Good polite efficient service; great food and ambiance. Will return.
Sunday lunch food was excellent, great quality, large portions. Waiting staff were great. A bit of a wait for food but not too bad (about 30 mins0. Overall, good and great value.
Mothers day Sunday dinner got thier at half 3 left at 5.45 that was a 2 course meal service was slow never waited that long before. Food was nice average really for the price we paid disappointed better Sunday lunch at Neville arms at fraction of the price friendly staff
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. The only slight complaint, if any, would be that we were sat right next to the door to the kitchen and so was rather conscious of coats etc on back of chairs but apart from that we all enjoyed our evening and will return again.
The food was excellent. Nice sized portions. I took a doggy bag home admit was too nice to waste.
Very tasty Sunday lunch, with plenty of options for starters, and various roasts. Beautiful food, and great service. Recommended.
Lovely restaurant with friendly staff and great food. Had the mystery dish and was amazed.
We had a really nice time, the food was excellent - the staff were really nice
Good meal but the service was absolutely brilliant. Thank you Ostlers at No.1
Despite a shortage of staff due to illness we had a great meal and a good time. but we did arrive early at 6pm. The restaurant was filling up as we left so service later that evening might have been a little slow, great food and good wine.
Amazing food and fantastic service once again - Ostlers never disappoint
Excellent service and delicious steak . Peaceful atmosphere , not rushed .
We could have very good time. We could drink Japanese beer.
All staff were very polite and the meal was lovely and tasty. Have booked again for Mothers Day this time.
Sunday Lunch in a relaxed atmosphere with great food and service.
Great food, great environment, a little on the expensive side, but worth it for special occasions. Ideal location for Swan Theater and couples to dine at.
Amazing 4 course meal at Ostlers last night. The staff were polite and attentive and the food was incredible. I asked for a starter that wasn't on the menu and they provided it for me with no hassle. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, and I have never eaten a pudding so fast before.....It was delicious!! It is expensive but you get what you pay for. Would higly recommend to anyone for a special evening.
Great atmosphere and lovely food, a very intimate venue with staff who really payed attention to the guests. Would highly recommend to my friends and family in the future.
We had an Amazing Sunday lunch - both really enjoyed it and the service was spot on as well - will definitely be back again
We had a lovely time at Ostlers. We had an emergency which meant we couldn’t make the scheduled time but they kindly accommodated us later in the evening so that we were still able to go. The service was great and food was very good. We will definitely be returning. The best part for me was that it didn’t get really noisy, we could have a conversation without having to shout at each other!
Really lovely food, especially the chocolate dessert. The service could be improved. The staff seemed to be on work experience e.g. wrong drinks, bringing a card machine to the table then disappearing when they didn't know how to work it.
It was very delicious! Service was great and really enjoyed the added extras of sorbet and bread, not often you get those things now days.
Really fantastic meal , if anything too much food but not a criticism , the chocolate fondant was one of the best i have ever had. Thankyou will be back
Excellent food in a lovely ambience with great service. Can heartily recommend the goats cheese starter and the pork belly main course. Shared a panacotta desert which was lovely too. Good value for money. Highly recommended and
Such a lovely restaurant, one of our favourites. Which is why we travel so far! Was a little busy on the night we went (expected around Christmas) but the customer service was outstanding and the food was delicious. We will be back again!
My boyfriend and I had a lovely meal at The Ostlers. The food was beautiful - I ordered the ribs and found the meat was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and despite there only being one server for the whole evening he was very attentive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend The Ostlers and won't hesitate in going back soon.
Vibrant and welcoming environment, great food (generous portions and very reasonably priced) along with friendly service... couldn’t have asked for a nicer night out. Highly recommended!!
Excellent great food and service the tuna was cooked to perfection Wine choice was good and the menus was wide catering for all tastes we will definitely be going again soon!
Food good, service attentive but a little slow (not being rushed is ok to be fair). Atmosphere could have been better - very light inside and no background music. Both things would have added to the experience for our party
the two staff were run ragged all evening leaving many customers very dissatisfied including one walk out - the food was very ordinary too whilst being expensive
Excellent food - service a bit slow only appeared to be 3 staff doing everything Need to put some draught excluders around the door - very cold sat st that table
Best Sunday lunch out ever. This should be on everyone’s list. The lamb and the beef were beautifully pink and with the most perfectly cooked accompaniments every. We will definitely be back.
Great little place. Food delicious, service efficient yet unobtrusive. Lovely ambience. Ideal if you're visiting the Swan Theatre which is a two minute walk away.
Freezing cold, no atmosphere, food good but waited an hour between starter and main. One staff member who was coping as well as he could.
Very very slow service. Half an hour before we were offered a drink or handed a menu. One front of house when restaurant 90% full is unworkable!! Meal fine when we eventually got it!
Lovely meal and plenty of people in midweek. Understaffed, but nice waitress doing her best. Would definitely go back, but would ask for a table away from the door, as the draught was freezing.
Food was delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere to be amongst in the restaurant. Highly recommend a visit.
Excellent meal and also met the owner who cares about his customers.Came away delighted with the food and service and we will be back again soon
Lovely and intimate meal. Very impressed with the service and staff. I was not a fan of the dessert options, however I would still recommend.
2 hour wait for main course pretentious menu, when main course eventually arrived - I ordered one of the 'specials' - it was not what was described on the menu. a disastrous evening out and not cheap not to be recommended.
Quality of meal and wine was very nice. The only down side was that I had ordered a dessert with custard but when it arrived it was just put in front of me accompanied by a scoop of ice cream and told that they did not have any custard and then the server just walked away. It would have been customary to ask if I still wanted the dessert and to be honest I probably would have said no.
Simply Fantastic, great service and even better food. Recently changed hands, but as good as ever, we’ll worth a visit. We’ll be back very soon.
Delicious food and lovely service - will definitely be coming back, and will recommend to friends. We went for lunch and look forward to trying out the dinner menu.
Went for pre theatre menu. Arrived at 5.55pm and first course was served 45 minutes later. Rushed main course and left before dessert just in time for theatre. Food ok but dreadful organisation. Really dissatisfied. Tables sticky and needed a clean. Not a good experience.
Lovely food in a nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly but very rushed off their feet when the restaurant was full, which meant the waiter was almost running between the kitchen and tables to keep up. We will be back though!
Good food - all 6 diners enjoyed their food which was well presented . Limited wine selection. Very courteous and pleasant staff . Overall an enjoyable evening with good service.
tasty imaginative and clever dinner service great desserts delightful despite being standard mid meal sorbet was lovely as was rosemary foccacia nibbles First time for me and 18 years gap for my husband Will come again
Lovely Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere. Only down fall about our visit, was my boyfriend had a piece of glass in his drink which was lucky he didn’t swallow. The lady was more than apologetic and refunded one drink off our bill.
The menu was great with selection but not to large . The service as pleasant and quick. The location is easy parking . Next time we will explore the gin menu. Not to sure about the mystery dish element.we will need to be brave enough to order that before an honest review
Arrived at 7.20pm and had to wait until 8.20pm for our starters to appear. We were told that the problem was that our particular choices both took a long time to prepare/cook. This was very surprising since my Wife ordered whitebait and I had opted for the scallops neither of which are noted for their long preparation/cooking times. Later on paying, the full bill, as no gesture was made to reduce the bill to recognise the inconvenience we experienced, we were told that sometimes delays did occur in the kitchen suggesting the problem was not uncommon. In conclusion I did have some concerns upon arrival since the front of house staff were very quick to provide us with the drinks menus but only provided us with the food menu when we requested one. This was compounded shortly afterwards when the waitress could not provide us with the full list of that night's specials as she was unable to read her colleagues writing.
