The Retreat

I like the food honestly but its bit expensive and service is bit sluggish. Ambience is good and staffs even better but just the service that doesn't work for me.

Went there with 3 of my sisters tonight for dinner. The food was amazing. 2 of us had camembere fritters for starters, which was so gorgeous! Beautifully presented too. My main was salmon and it was beautifully cooked with a gorgeous sauce, on a bed of lovely creamy mashed potatoes. One sister had a lovely spinach soup. All of us were delighted with the quality of the food. Nice friendly and very well presented staff. We will definitely return!!!

Fabulous lunch and wonderful staff. Genuinely felt welcome.
It was a baking hot Saturday lunchtime. Sadly for The Retreat very few of us customers had found them that day, which was strange as many hostelries on our way home were heaving. For us it was a delight, very quick, attentive service, without the crowds, but they need others to discover their amazing new, if a little limited, menu.
French cuisine at pub lunch prices, certainly a refreshing change. The Garlic Bread was totally amazing.

Have just enjoyed the seared seabass with ratatouille and perfectly creamy mash potato. The pesto puree was drizzled delicately and each bite was a flavour sensation. The seabass melted in my mouth, but, ended with a lush crunch. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the brioche burger which was exceptional. We will be back. It is so nice to have such amazing food round the corner. Thank you Citron and the Retreat.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding will definitely be going back again. Best calamari we've had. The steak and confit of duck was so great too. Highly recommend this place to everyone who appreciates fine dining. Thank you for a great evening Retreat team! 😍

I'm torn regarding the Retreat/Citron Brasserie. The positive points at lunch time for us, the food was magnificent! Between us, we enjoyed a lovely Mushroom soup, Coq Au Vin, Duck, Lemon Possett & Bread & Butter Pudd. All delicious, compliments to the Chef. Decor, toilets all beautiful. Waitresses of which there were two, were very pleasant and well meaning, but inexperience did show.

There was an overly long time where we were left standing, waiting to be seated, for our 1.30 booking. Then followed a lengthy period before any order was taken, even for drinks. A feeling of "chaos" when the restaurant was not overly busy. Our barely used napkins were removed from the table for some reason, when our pudding arrived. There was an on & off very noisy power drill being used very near the restaurant area, which does nothing for the ambience of a nice French bistro lunch. No one asked if we enjoyed our food. Little touches that would add to the experience, were amiss. I think a bit more attention to detail outwith the food, could make Citron Brasserie a regular place to eat.

Not a bad pub. Went here for lunch. They do a good lunch deal. Inside there’s a nice atmosphere in the bar area and the restaurant. Outside there is seating and a car park for maybe 20 cars. The food was tasty but the portions quite small - looks at the pic of the fish and chips from the lunch deal. The fish looks more like a fish finger!

Good quite place for lunch. Staff polite and attentive, food was delivered promptly. Taste was average, not much flavours (I have had better burgers 🍔). Menu was limited but reasonably price. Has parking spaces available which is a plus. I’m between 3-4 stars for this place.
