Everything about it was perfect for our 2nd wedding anniversary. The staff, the environment, the food, the Cremant were all superb. We will visit again and highly recommend it. Thank you.

We celebrated my Father’s 95th birthday today. Le Blaireau is his favourite place to eat. It was his request that we meet there. We were all made to feel so welcome and the atmosphere was lovely. A huge success with everyone. Richard and Kasir looked after us well. Very attentive. The food, as always l, was great. So tasty and presented well. The ambience is very French and we will definitely be back again soon. A huge thank you for helping to make wonderful memories for our family.

Unfortunately the food was ok at best, ordered the Poulet and was expecting the sauce to be classically French, with red wine, bacon lardons etc, it tasted like Bisto and lacked flavour. The service was really good just a shame about the food.
