   Wonderful birthday dinner. The experience end to end was great. Relaxed atmosphere for a 1 star. Lovely service, very friendly and attentive. Food was exceptional. Some really creative dishes, our favourite was the Cheese and Onion (McCoy’s) snack. Simply amazing Thank you x

   The tasting menu at Frog was mind-blowingly good and far beyond what you would expect from a single Michelin star restaurant. The manicured dishes flow at just the right speed which is important given you munch through nine or ten plates including the amuse-bouche at the start and the petits-fours. The stand out dish for me was the crab timbale with a deliciously fresh herb sauce of blitzed lovage, sorrel, parsley and apple peel. The minute crab decorations were a lovely touch. This edged out the duck served with a remarkable umami mushroom "ketchup" and turnip puree. I particularly enjoyed the use of British ingredients like woodruff (similar to vanilla) which are not perceived as luxuries but have phenomenal flavour. The only miss on the food was the temperture of the lobster ravioli. We enjoyed the premium wine pairing and the sommeliere did a fantastic job of explaining the aromas and flavours and how they matched each dish. My main criticism is that given the price point for the premium wine flight (£250) there really should be more premium wines. Having memorized the labels some cost £20-30 which is definitely not premium. That said, well chosen and fun, but wine quality should be higher. The cod would have benefited from a Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru or Chablis 1er Cru from a south-facing slope which captures some tropical notes. My advice: buy a bottle from the list as these are much better value than the flights. All in all, the food and experience was on a par with Lameloise in Burgundy which has three stars.

   We spent an amazing evening at your restaurant, celebrating my wife's birthday. We were welcomed and made to feel special from the get go. The food was totally and utterly delicious, and enhanced by the stories that went along with them. We will definitely come back again.

   Wow! Fabulous food, fabulous service - utterly wonderful evening. The food was stunningly beautiful, and totally delicious. We had a wonderful evening and will return. Disappointed that Adam wasn’t on site but fingers crossed he will be there next time.

    Amazing experience from the moment we entered the door to when we left….nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained, and we didn’t feel rushed or pressurised at any point. Amazing food and lovely wine chosen by the sommelier.
