Best Restaurants for Groups in Bidford-on-avon

I thought it was going to be an overpriced roast lunch experience as everything is in the UK- But I was very very happy - first we changed our mind few times about where we wanted to eat ( restaurant or bar ) as we have a dog and you can be only in the bar area with the dug so I planned to take him back Home but what happened was great - they reserved us a table by the fire at the bar so it felt really nice! Then the food was great - and I am really demanding - The proportions were good ( the roast was plenty!!) the shared platter was good ( I thought it would be better but it was good enough) - the atmosphere was great, service was perfect and I was not easy!!! I loved everything The price was ok - I thought I would pay that - The roast was really good - the horseradish sauce could be milder if I could say a tiny improvement feedback - Thank you - seriously it couldn’t haven’t been better for the UK ( price/ food/ atmosphere/ service quality)

Another lovely meal at the Opposition . Nothing to fault. Lovely service (they even brought in a special request for my wife), great food, nice ambience. I’ve never been disappointed and last night was no exception.

From entering to leaving, everything about this restaurant was 5* Thankyou to the staff for being so kind, professional and fun. 👌🏼

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.

The Ivy makes the best curries in the area and well worth a visit on Monday or Tuesday for curry nights. Friendly and efficient service from the staff.
