    My favourite local restaurant - an absolute gem. The food is expertly prepared, full of flavour and the menu is well curated. A solid wine list with a range available by glass or carafe. Service is professional, friendly and knowledgable. Please visit - you won’t be disappointed!

    We celebrated our 30th anniversary at The French Tabke and it was everything we could have wished for. The food, atmosphere and attendance were outstanding. Everything was excellent and made our celebration so so special, thank you

    We came here for our 5 year wedding anniversary lunch and cannot believe we haven’t been sooner! Great food and lovely little personal touches because it was our anniversary. We are definitely going to become regulars.

    Still our favourite restaurant in the world. What Sarah and Eric don’t know about fine dining hospitality isn’t worth knowing. Perfection every visit.

    A fab restaurant. We go every year for our birthdays. You need to book well in advance as it’s very popular. Not necessarily cheap but excellent value for money and innovative food. Great attention to detail both on the menu by the chef and also by all the staff.
