The Vine Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

This place has different atmospheres depending upon what you are seeking. The mornings are normally very quiet. The afternoon is more busier and evenings attract a different buzzing atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They serve excellent breakfasts, afternoon teas and a delightful food menu. There is a restaurant which it is advisable to book in advance. There is also a small outside sitting area.

Absolutely awful. Wish I'd read the other reviews before planning a special lunch here. We went for an afternoon tea for 6 of us.

We've had a few afternoon teas here, and all were fabulous, until now. We had decided to take both sets of parents as a treat. We were told that the menu had been "updated," when what's really happened is there has been a huge change of management style. We previously liked it so much that we bought gift cards for presents for family.

There were 3 little fingers of sandwich each which looked like a 5 year old had made them. We had asked for some simple sandwiches for children, but we got ham and a hot mustard, beef on dry bread and egg and cress. The crusts were all left on the bloomer bread and they tasted cheap and dry.

The scones served used to be lovely, with a vanilla whipped cream and raspberry coulis. Now, you just get whipped cream slapped into a bowl with no thought for presentation, or taste; it was sweetened previously and contained vanilla seeds too. They also used to serve warm pork pies and quiches, both of which were amazing.

There were two more levels of cake; a slice of loaf cake and another muffin, plus a macaroon each. No other savoury like there used to be, just a slab of bought in cake (they sell them in tesco). How anyone could be expected to manage that quantity of cake is beyond me.

Appaling. Through and through. We did pay for our raspberry lemonade which really should have been complimentary as it ruined what should have been a lovely meal out with our in-laws. It is so sad how somewhere that used to provide such lovely food can go so far downhill.

Don't waste your money. Was told the owners would be in touch. Have I heard anything? Of course not!

Lovely food, lovely serving staff and chilled vibe

2-4-1 cocktail night is a must! From 5-7pm you're spoilt for choice with an amazing cocktail selection and the most friendly and funny service from Chris. Boy does he make a great cocktail and ( not that it's hard ) convinced me to sample many more cocktails and food during the evening. Honestly... the vine is amazing but hands up to Chris.

We booked a table to round off our honeymoon and couldn’t fault the place at all! We were served by Chris who was extremely friendly and attentive, food was amazing and cocktails even better!! We will definitely be coming back here soon x

Had second visit steak very bloody asked for no blood. Very small menu disappointed

Food was good. Service was good even though they had a large party in.

Lovely staff, service and atmosphere. Food was excellent and the cocktails were honestly some of the best cocktails we've ever had!
