"We visited the Fig Tree for a birthday lunch and had the set 3 course meal which was as good as any Michelin starred restaurants we have visited. The two waitresses were attentive without being intrusive and were particularly helpful with choosing a wine pairing for each course. Great value for money, I really can't speak too highly of this restaurant and look forward to returning for their evening tasting menu."

"A wonderful step back in time! I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie mystery (I did keep an eye out for Miss Marple . A lovely location for a quick lunch. A nook and cranny establishment (complete with a Dame Vera Lynn room! with a perfect outside space (where we sat . D chose the Halloumi Salad (with some tasty sundried tomatoes I ran to type and had the burger (with some delish caramelised onions . Washed down with a lovely glass of Dry White (foolishly didn't get the name of the wine . Service came with a smile the charming uniforms are a lovely touch, adding to atmosphere of a bygone era. Thoroughly recommend."

"Went there for a roast dinner. Food was good, decent portions and good variety. Service was also good, we had a brand new server but she managed to offer a good service. A couple of issues which could happen anywhere, but a main issue was our inquiry about the side dishes that come with the roast, because they hadn't arrived. We were immediately told we would have to order them extra by one waitress, while another was bringing them to our table. It is not the delay that bugged me, it is the attitude of immediately trying to add something to the bill without checking (menus clearly state that roasts come with side dishes). Atmosphere is also good, a lot of people but not chaotic/dirty or loud. A family was hogging the fireplace area with children scattering toys and sitting in three different tables (other than theirs), which is inconsiderate from the parents part. They seemed to have had some issue with billing. Parking was easy, location convenient. Only issue, is the prices...we paid 80 pounds for two people... We got two of the two course roasts, one dessert (to share), one large and one small coke, a coffee and one glass of wine.. Not in London but Sussex.. also there are no prices in the desserts, if someone wants to have extra.... Pricing is of course clearly indicated on menus so it was our choice to dine there."

"Although the food at the restaurant was delicious, the service was unfortunately lacking. We felt forgotten, ignored, and spoken to rudely, with mistakes in our orders and a lengthy wait for our starter. There was no visible manager on duty, and the delivery/takeaway coordinator was loud and intrusive in the middle of the restaurant. It seemed that the restaurant prioritized takeaways over dine-in customers, as there were only 5 tables occupied during our visit. When it came time to pay, we chose not to pay the optional service charge, which was not handled well. Overall, we were disappointed by our experience and would not recommend this restaurant as a dining venue. Despite the good food, the lack of professionalism and a text message debate over payment issues left us feeling frustrated."

"Came here for brunch with the family. Held off breakfast (obviously) but it took 50 mins for our food to arrive after ordering. The staff are friendly enough and gave our son some paper to draw on after we asked. The food arrived and despite our hunger it was simply very average. Nothing wrong with average but after the wait and the price I didn't think it was worth it. Nicer inside though, nice outside area too. I think in the evenings for drinks it'd be better for our needs but if the long wait and average food is typical (this was our first time visiting) then I'd only come here for drinks in future."
