    Always a warm welcome from the team at The French Table. Excellent food, a wonderful wine list and relaxed but attentive service. No pressure for a lengthy lunch which was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

    We usually go to the French Table for family celebrations and last night it was my birthday. We were given complimentary Champagne which was a lovely touch and we had the tasting menu with accompanying wines. Everything about the food was superb and the service flawless. The choice of wines was impeccable, Sarah knows her stuff! We live in the area and have been going to the French Table for about 20 years, how they manage to keep up their standards over such a period amazes me but demonstrates their commitment to fine dining. It's an absolute gem of a restaurant and a local institution.

    Excellent service, food high quality and reasonable price. Nice vibe. We have been a number of times and the standards are always high it’s a go to place for good food and service. You can go and be well looked after, feel special and enjoy your friends and family with no worries about the food or service and there on not many places you can say that about locally. First rate
