    Martin was most welcoming and for that alone we will be back. It was a busy service. Starters were excellent, my friend enjoyed her fishcake with a perfectly poached egg. My shepherd’s pie was good. The creamed spinach was very good. A well chilled bottle of Chenin Blanc complemented the meal. Thank you. Overall a wonderful dining experience which we highly recommend!!

    Fantastic lunch at Schpoon & Forx yesterday! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable — Kiera and Radu went above and beyond to make the experience special. Chef Louis was a superstar, creating dishes that impressed everyone, including my 85-year-old mum, who thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!
