      I’ve been to Bentleys several times in the last year. It’s very good well presented food. I like the menu - particularly the range of starters. The seafood is as good as it should be. Service is very good, attentive but not intrusive. I like the traditional ambience. I’ve only ever eaten upstairs but the bar area has banquette seating and you can sit outside too.

      Mistakenly booked dinner for 8 outside in December, worked out very well, plenty of heaters and well sheltered. Live music which added to the atmosphere. Food was extremely good, from fish and chips, lobster and sole.

      Prices are extremely high for the chef's effort, which is rather mediocre. Oysters can't be spoiled, of course, but £8 per piece is rather high. Beef tartar was impossible to eat because it was very spicy and the service was extremely laid back. I would not recommend this place.

      As a regular, you tend to notice any difference in service & Food. Our Tuesday evening meal was excellent & wonderfully served. Rarely, does this change thankfully.
