"After a day trip from Swansea to Legoland Windsor with my family, we decided to treat ourselves on the way home with a small detour (just 10 minutes off the M4) to try out Buon Appetito. What can I say? It was an absolute treat! We were warmly welcomed by a lovely hostess, who happened to be the chef's sister. She took great care of us, ensuring we were comfortable and even chatting with me, my wife, and our 4-year-old daughter. We ordered 3 pizzas: a Napoli, a classic Margherita, and a Calzone Piccante, along with 2 sides of fries (highly recommend the cajun spiced). When the pizzas arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by their generous size and more than fair prices. After a long day of walking, I devoured my calzone. The perfectly cooked dough with beautiful charred bubbles and flavorful filling reminded us of our time in Italy (thanks to the San Marzano tomatoes in the sauce). The standout was the Napoli pizza, with its crispy capers adding a salty crunch. Paired with a large glass of red wine, it made our 3-hour journey home much more enjoyable for my wife. Among all the Italian pizza places we've tried in the UK, this one ranks among the best. I highly recommend supporting this wonderful, family-run gem of a pizza place - you won't regret it!"

"I recently had dinner at this restaurant and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The price per person ranged from £20 to £30, which I found to be quite reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. Speaking of which, both the food and service were top-notch – I would give them a solid 5 out of 5. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also excellent, creating a pleasant and enjoyable dining environment. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal and great dining experience."

"I inquired with the cashier about whether the restaurant served halal food, and she assured me it did. I decided to trust her and ordered the chicken options, which she confirmed were halal. Despite enjoying the delicious and well-prepared meal, I was concerned that I did not see any halal certification or inquire about the presence of alcohol in some dishes. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty, but I have some reservations about whether I was allowed to consume it without proper verification. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures."

"Aweful experience...i reserved table 10 in advance...on arrival said table was occupied. The hostess invited us to sit any where...which defeats the purpose of reserving the table. The hostess indicated you had to order using the app....which we proceeded to do...after several attemps to pay via the app...we had to pay at the bar. The waiter did not take or cash the complete order....the service was sluggish ...the milk for tea)was spilled on reaching the table...see photo..it was never cleaned...the food was pitiful...not value for money...."

"Since we last visited some years ago the Everest has made a real effort with their décor including a new beer garden out front. Lighting inside is decorative and colourful but overall ambience is a little too bright maybe? Our food was very disappointing, we ordered Everest Special Mismas and Mixed Grill Masala as mains. Both were higher priced dishes that were supposed to include prawns but there were none in either dish. The Mismas didn 't look anything like the menu photo but in fairness they do state Photos are for suggestion only: Actual Platters may appear DIFFERENT . The Masala grill was described as medium sauce but our dish was very mild with no trace of chilli heat. The stuffed paratha was undercooked and greasy. Pilau rice and vegetable bhuna side however were both very good. Kingfisher and Cobra are served on draft but both were charged 30p a pint more than the printed menu price it 's gone up was the explanation. Prices overall are fair but I was hoping for authentic tasty food that at least lived up to the menu descriptions."
