Another great evening out at Village Kitchen, food as always superb, great service and lovely staff. I bypassed starters having had a large lunch, partner had calamari which was delicious. He then had the plaice whilst I tried the red curry from the Specials. We both cleared our plates. I managed the Eton mess for dessert he declined anything from the dessert menu.

After sitting down we weren't even offered a drink after 15 minutes so we gave up and left. This was our third attempt to support this local business and we've given up now.

The meal was great! We sat outside and had the burger and a drink for £10 deal. The brueger was cooked to perfection (medium-rare for me), with lovely homemade chunky chips and tasty, creamy coleslaw. I can also recommend the cocktails, of which we have one, which were also on offer too (2-4-1). The service was attentive, efficient and polite. I'd highly recommend this establishment for future guests.

Wonderful food and our waitress could not have been more friendly or efficient. My daughter who is 12 years old, did not like anything on the a la carte menu, but they were happy to make anything on the Children's Menu bigger for her

The meal was nice overall but the lamb was stringy in my opinion. They seemed to be short staffed as our waitress seemed to be in a constant rush and we had to wait a hit. I am not sure it is as good as it was.

Dinner for two on a Friday evening. Food and service were both lovely and we thought the meal (including cocktails) was good value. Portion sizes are large (especially starting with the sharing platter) and the chocolate bread and butter pudding is a fantastic dessert.

Food was good, but several items were off the menu such that my vegetarian friend struggled to make a choice. The service was mediocre and rather curt.

Been many times for birthdays etc. and the food is very tasty (especially the calamari starter!!). The staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The restaurant is compact, but there's enough room between tables that you don't feel too overlooked. Overall - a relaxed atmosphere and the food is normally very good.

Excellent experience. As a wine merchant I was very pleased to see the waitress being honest about her knowledge and not trying to bs. Also she was happy to learn. She was a star as far as I'm concerned and the food was of a higher standard than the prices would suggest. The outstanding dish for me was the chicken livers starter which had a lovely classic sauce everything was of a good standard. One small gripe was that no bread was offered. With sauces and gravies like this you want to moop them up!!!! We will return

Excellent food - all four of us really enjoyed our starter and main course. Desserts were a bit disappointing (pear & blueberry crumble was too sweet) but maybe we're just fussy. Very reasonable, and really like the jar of jelly babies that comes with the bill :0) We'll definitely go back.

Great service, very welcoming. Food arrived quickly and nicely presented. We had a roast lunch, we were a little disappointed that the meat appeared to be a beef steak and a lamb steak, rather than cut from a joint. Meat was good quality, but not what you would expect for a Sunday lunch.

We loved our Fri evening trip to The Village Kitchen. The waitress was super friendly and informed us about special's . She was attentive but without hovering! Which was lovely. We both had fish and my Hake was beautifully cooked . My girlfriends Sea Bass was lovely too...We sat at the table closest to the4 bar! Away from the hub-ub in the centre of the restaurant. If you want a pleasant evening with great food . Then I would definitely recommend a trip to VK. Simon and Anna

Food was well presented and tasted great. However, being a Tuesday night there wasn't a lot of atmosphere which meant we eat quickly and didn't have dessert. Have previously visited on a Sunday and it was great!

I went to VK twice in the space of a week - it is that good! Fantastic, flavoursome, high quality food and a cozy atmosphere! The staff are extremely hospitable and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this place. No doubt that this place will become one of my restaurants of choice.

Our table (of 5 people) selected from the set menu for £28 and all 3 courses were perfectly cooked and very well presented - the calamari starter was particularly good. The service was friendly and relaxed and we were given time to make our choices. There was a good selection of wine to choose from and we also tried a couple of cocktails, which were very nice. Overall a relaxed and tasty dining experience.

Fantastic as always to be here. Food delicious, never had a bad meal here. My father in law says they have the best bread and butter pudding he's ever tasted, and I think they have the best tuna steak! Love the quirky haribo instead of mints with the bill! So thoughtful. Service always friendly and warm. WORTH A VISIT!!!

The Village Kitchen has a very comfortable ambiance with the service just about right, attentive when you needed something, discreetly absent when you didn't. The menu was interesting and varied, we had chicken livers and gnocchi as starters and partridge and rib eye steak as mains all excellently prepared. Possibly the only minus point was the feeling that they would have liked us to leave a little quicker possibly because of the next table reservation. Overall pretty good and would definitely come back again.
