The food was very good & very generous portion sizes but the service was lacking. Maybe it was a case of being understaffed, but we sat at our table for nearly 30 minutes and were never offered the menus nor asked for a drink. There was also a booster seat strapped to our chair when it was 4 adults dining and despite having it sat out on the table no one ever came over. It was a very slow evening, it was nearly 2 hours from arriving to leaving and we only had 2 courses.

Service was great, our waiter was fantastic. Food was really good. The restaurant however was absolutely freezing. So much so that I would not go back in winter because we all sat with our jackets on throughout the meal.

Good service to start with. Food was good. However, once it got busy, we were forgotten about. Had very little desserts left at 7.30pm.. this was the let down of our date night. As an restaurant owner this isn't good enough

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.

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.
