Prompt service although it was quiet at lunchtime. Food was hot and was Very good and vegetables had taste. Soup was served with sliced bread. A bread roll would be preferable. Would return in the future.

Drinks service was really slow. Had to ask twice for a drinks menu. Food was lovely. Also asked 3 times for water before we eventually got it.

This year's annual Christmas visit, and the food was not as good as in previous years. May have to look elsewhere for next year. Nice atmosphere and great service.

Strong smell of disinfectant on arrival, but the lovely waitress soon found us another table which was fine, and she was very attentive and professional throughout our stay. The food was very good, and we had an enjoyable experience, thank you and thanks to the waitress.

I went to The Braided Fig for lunch with a couple of friends. It was a Thursday but I was surprised to find there were only another couple of diners in which made the atmosphere quiet but not unpleasant. The menu is new and I chose the Ducktater, a confit duck ‘burger’ which came with coleslaw and chips - it was really tasty and very filling. My friends had the Festive Fig burger, a burger with sage & onion stuffing etc which they raved about. The waitress was very polite, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Would recommend

Overall an amazing experience. I took my partner for our anniversary as he had never been to the Braided Fig before and I had had a lovely meal with friends there a few months ago. It did not leave us disappointed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service from both waitresses was lovely and attentive but we didn't feel rushed nor forgotten about. We will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend.

The staff were very welcoming, and opened the door for us to bring in our pram. The service was attentive. We all had the Sunday roast which was delicious and a good sized portion. The only improvement I’d suggest would be to include drinks menus at the table.

We arrived at 6pm, was given some water and our order was taken at 6.20pm. we agreed with the server that one course only may be advisable as we told him that we had to leave by 7.15pm, to get to a concert in the music hall. ( I also wrote this note on the booking form.). When our one main course had not arrived at 6.55pm, I went and enquired about how much longer it would be. And was ready to leave. At 7pm, the food arrived, it was hot and quite tasty, though the steak was not pink as advertised, and requested the bill at the same time. We will not be coming again when we have a deadline to leave by, but I did expect to manage to eat more than one course in an hour and a quarter. Your loss,we would have spent more money in the restaurant.

Food was ok, nothing special I’m afraid. Unfortunately, the restaurant lacked any atmosphere and the service was extremely slow. 6pm booking and got our main courses at 7.15pm. Won’t rush back as rather expensive for just an ok experience.

I very much enjoyed my meal here, the turbot and roll to start were great. The service was excellent. Unfortunately my partners scampi had not been cleaned properly, we were not charged which made up for the disappointment ti some extent. The Viognier was lovely. I would like to return.
