    From the atmosphere and the decor, to the staff and the food, The Bailiwick is always a 10/10 for me. I always have a lovely time, and value for money is always guaranteed!

    Excellent food and attentive but unobtrusive service. Separate Gluten free menu and delicious gluten free bread provided. Best Celeriac steak I ever ate! Will definitely be returning.

    I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable meal I have had for a long time. A regular foodie to Michelin restaurants throughout the world which I say not to show off but to put in perspective. The food itself was exceptional, beautifully presented with all the grandeur of the fancy chefs but somehow making it a meal. When did you last have such superb pig’s trotters. We loved it. I could go into all the pompous descriptions but it is easier to say just go, you cannot be disappointed. That being said don’t do it too soon because I’m aiming to return to have other items that caught my attention and would hate to think I couldn’t get in. The lady, and I’m so cross I didn’t get her name, that looked after us was wonderful. Efficient, professional but mostly delightful. We honestly felt cared for. We loved the ambiance too. Somehow discreet, very comfortable and peacefully quiet. Downside? We ordered three puddings between the two of us (don’t judge us, it’s hard to choose) and they are such large portions we couldn’t finish them. My street cred as dessert king in tatters. Loved it

    Cannot fault the food. It was delicious but incredibly expensive for a Sunday roast. You cannot have just a one course Sunday roast you have to have a £50 2 course set menu. V pricey for a standard pub food. There is NO parking. Website says there is lots nearby. Closest is a 1 mile walk away and we had to end up paying £12 to park. The staff were incredibly rude, especially the main women there who kept acting as if we were a pain for ordering food rather than paying customers. Would never go back.

    We visited the Bailiwick for Sunday lunch, introducing 4 friends to it. Such a delightful venue which immediately starts with the warm welcome from Johnny at the bar and continues throughout all the staff. The food was well sourced, prepared and delicious for the range of preferences in our party. The price was very good value, considering the quality of food, venue, the great staff and the joy we all had - priceless. All of us will return, brining along new friends to experience the Bailiwick.
