The food was exceptional. We all struggled to choose a favourite course. The wine pairings were very well considered and we actually ordered one of the bottles online while we were still at the table. The staff were fantastic. Very polite and extremely helpful. I'd highly recommend The Jackdaw to anyone wanting a beautiful meal for a reasonable price.

A beautiful restaurant that gives particular attention to detail. From arrival to us leaving we were made to feel welcome and looked after the entire time. Exceptional food as always. It’s our favourite restaurant for all occasions, but especially because the overall experience is a joyous one.

The tasting menu is very over priced for the food. The food wasn’t that great, it was very salty, a lot of cold dishes and pretty bland tasting to be honest.

Nick and the team serve up a brilliant set menu for lunch at The Nest at The Jackdaw. The welcome is warm, the food is exciting and the service is genuinely friendly. We especially appreciated the wine recommendations and knowledge, and the fact that we were welcome to bring our small baby along for a special occasion.

Fantastic tasting menu. Bread of Heaven is great. Service is impeccable. It's not cheap but it is exception food. If you like a Tasting menu you'll love this. Whole experience lasts about 3.5 hours.
