    Our first visit and definitely won't be our last! Service was spot on and food was delectable..... we had lunch menu and it was excellent value for money. The beef cheeks were delicious and every course was extremely tasty. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

    A fabulous experience (tasting menu with matched wines). Perfectly paced, prepared and presented. Interesting and satisfying with wonderful service. It’s not cheap but if you consider the quality of food and service, added to the fact it’s ‘more than a meal’ more of an experience, it’s worth it. Thank you P&L

    I was really looking forward to my birthday treat and we chose the tasting menu. I have been here a number of times albeit not for a couple of years. Service was good but the food was really poor. Very stodgy, carb heavy first 5 courses and pretty tasteless. The portion sizes were larger than I would have expected for a tasting menu as well. My suggestion would be to reduce the number of courses from 12 to 7 or 8 for the same price and focus on the quality

    We ate at 6pm on a Thursday and were able to order the £35 set meal. The food was exceptional and fantastic value for money. The staff were attentive and informative and the overall experience was brilliant.

    The food is always beyond superlatives at Peace and Loaf as is the service. Everyone at Peace and Loaf goes above and beyond to make the experience one that you never forget and help create wonderful memories. It’s the extra mile that everyone goes to that makes Peace and Loaf one of the best and it never fails to deliver and keep you going back for more. The music playlists are also on a par with the food and service. Beyond 5 stars
