    I did not like the fact there were 2 dogs beside me in the restaurant while I was eating with my family and son. The service was quite slow and the food was nice but nothing special.

    This is my second visit in January, this time with a friend. We opted to have two courses , instead of our normal 3. The lentil soup was beautiful and my friend went for the muscles, she really enjoyed them and said they were the best she’s had. I had Mac and cheese and friend went for the Trio or Pork. Mac and cheese was lovely, I hoped the bowl would never end. My friend said the trip of pork just melted in your mouth. Overall, another great experience visiting The Saint. The staff were also so very friendly and welcoming, special mention to Steven and his colleagues, thanks for looking after us so well. We can’t wait to return.

    Excellent service. Food was ok but a bit over-cooked and not very hot. Waited a long time for it. Red wine was mediocre.
    The SaintResponded on January 15, 2025
    Hi Tracy Thankyou for taking the time to review your recent visit. We are delighted you found the service to be excellent. Please accept my apologies that you found the food to be overcooked and that the red wine did not appeal to your palette. We feel our wine list appeals to all with everything from an easy to drink soft and fruity Sangiovese right through to a dark and smokey Cabernet Franc. We hope you will choose to dine with us again. Kindest Regards
