    We'd been to Byfords many times before during the day but never in the evening. We'll certainly being going though as last nights dinner was excellent. Great value and great food. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

    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.
