"The service and food at The Vine were exceptional! We had booked the restaurant for a Hen Party with 32 people on Saturday 29th July. Megan greeted me when I arrived early to set up, and she was very accommodating when I requested a few adjustments to the table set up. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious, served hot and in generous portions. We had pre-ordered from a 2-course set menu with plenty of options for both meat and plant-based diets. Even the picky eaters in our group were satisfied. Overall, the service, food, and decor were amazing, thanks to Davood and his team for making the Bride to Be's day unforgettable. The cocktails were also excellent. We will definitely be returning, but maybe not in such a large group next time."

"First visit to this local restaurant and it was lovely. Staff all very welcoming, professional and helpful. Food was of an excellent standard and quality, we couldn't fault any of it. My husband and neice said that you didn't really need a knife for the beef as it was so tender. As she can be picky then that was indeed high praise from her. Presentation was lovely and the portion sizes were more than ample. Will definitely be returning. Well done to all at Zamani's."

"We celebrated my grandfather's 90th birthday at this restaurant with a party of 15, and the service was outstanding. The efficiency with which they handled our appetizer and snack orders was impressive; everything arrived together and hot. Everyone enjoyed their meals and desserts. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our guest of honor was well taken care of, making the evening enjoyable for everyone. The food was a notch above typical pub fare, all at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this place!"

"A Mix of Delightful Cuisine and Unfortunate Service I recently dined at your Thai restaurant with my parents and partner, and while the food was generally good, there are some aspects of the service that I hope you consider seriously. Starters: The calamari was fresh and crispy, although the platter for 2 felt a bit sparse with only two of each item. Mains: The steamed sea bass was exceptional. The green, red and massaman curries we sampled were good and packed quite a punch, especially the green curry. The fried rice and the late-delivered coconut rice were satisfactory, but what truly stood out was the sincere apology from the chef, who went out of his way to address the oversight. The ambiance of the restaurant was charming, seamlessly blending Thai-inspired decor with the rustic setting of an old English building. The gold bamboo-esque cutlery added a unique touch. However, the dining experience was marred by one particular staff member, presumably in a managerial role. His aggressive and hostile behaviour towards the staff was unsettling. While the wait staff were friendly and professional, this individual's conduct overshadowed the positive aspects of our visit. His actions, including snatching plates out of their hands and hissing at them, created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both patrons and staff. Constructively, I urge a thorough review of this staff member's behaviour, as it significantly impacted an otherwise decent dining experience. Encouraging and supporting the team, rather than undermining them, would undoubtedly contribute to a more enjoyable and harmonious dining atmosphere. In conclusion, we enjoyed the culinary offerings of your establishment, and the sea bass alone is worthy of a return visit. However, addressing the issues with the aggressive staff member is crucial for sustaining a positive reputation and ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all patrons."

"Our first visit to the Smisby Arms, had lunch with friends and our two dogs. As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a lovely warm welcome. There is a good choice of dishes on the menu and also several specials too. The food was good and reasonably priced. A great dog friendly pub and will definitely be visiting again. Would highly recommend."
