    Second time I have dined here, but the first for Sunday Lunch and it was fabulous yet again! Service is very efficient and yet friendly. Menu has plenty of choice. I am vegetarian and it is one of the BEST Sunday Lunches I have had, so tasty! My Son had the Turkey and my Mam the Lamb, both cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were big, good selection of well cooked vegetables. The Yorkshire puddings were enormous and the gravy was delicious. We were too full to manage a dessert and thankfully we didn't have a starter. We were well looked after and will definitely be returning.

    Lovely venue, great service, starter & mains were very good......quite a few items not available on menu. Deserts were both a bit meh. Will definitely try again in the coming months.

    Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough; food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive. A great place to go for a nice dinner before the football.

    A warm welcome from the staff on arrival, attentive throughout the meal which was fantastic, but then felt a bit forgotten about once we finished dessert and had to wait a while before asking for the bill. A minor annoyance but it seemed there were a few in the same boat, however will be going again as the food was lovely.

    We came to Ember for our Sunday lunch today. From entering the door we were made to feel so welcome by the staff. There were 5 of us in total including my 11 year old niece and 1 year old daughter. They got a highchair straight away and gave my little girl something to play with. This made me relax instantly as taking a 1 year old out for lunch can be daunting, but they clearly welcomed children. The drinks were fabulous, we had wine and beers and all were lovely. The Sunday lunch was amazing. The portions were huge and the vegetables were delicious. We had a mixture of turkey, beef and lamb. One of the managers heard me say that my dad would be jealous of the beef as he had ordered turkey and he came out with a small plate of beef just for my dad to try. Touches like this make such a difference. They were all so lovely with all of us and the food was amazing. We have all talked about it for the rest of the day. Outstanding service and exceptional food. Well done Ember! We will definitely be back. Thank you for being so amazing with my daughter, I wish all establishments were like this.

    First visit here. Had Sunday Roast which was exceptional. Service was first class, efficient waiting staff and served very quickly. A 5* dining experience.

    The food was amazing, staff were absolutely great, and the venue is lovely. The dining area around the corner overlooking the river is a really nice, chilled and ambient environment - well worth asking if you can go in there rather than the main dining area if you're able to.
