    Excellent breakfast, the kedgeree was so tasty and the full English was huge. Look forward to coming back and seeing the changes later in the year

    As they are going through a refurbishment the atmosphere was not as anticipated. Service was patchy and needed to find someone each time we needed service.

    Another top-notch brunch by Byfords. As always, the food and service were impeccable. It’s not always easy eating out with a baby but Byfords always go above and beyond to make sure that both baby and parents have a positive experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble! Thank you!

    Excellent evening the food was really tasty, we are never disappointed there. As there are renovations happening we felt it was rather chilly so would advise warm clothing. Also if you are using your Gold Tickets and have more than one each you have to return another time to use your remainder, sorry bit naughty in our opinion. Overall though we really enjoyed the evening, thank you.

    Having recently been diagnosed as coeliac this was our first visit to Byfords since then. When booking I noted that I needed gluten free. On arrival we were shown to our table and I was given their dedicated gluten free menu, an excellent start, not that I would expect anything less as they are always great. I had the seafood platter with lovely chunks of toasted gluten free bread, so tasty. Followed by a fabulous Byfords mess pudding. Despite the ongoing building works the staff were excellent attentive and friendly, the food was so good, an all round excellent experience. Will look forward to returning again soon

    I had the Calzoni from the new menu, very good and substantial, my wife enjoyed her usual simple pizza; the new desserts are also to be enjoyed, well done Byfords!

    We had a nice cosy table and the atmosphere was great, nice buzz without being too loud. Service excellent and food good, although range seemed a little limited.
