    I eat here infrequently but Mortimers retains its reliably high standards from visit to visit, whether tasting or set 3 course menu. Particularly impressive is the care & attention to an individual's likes & dislikes, which are noted for future visits. Add to this the chef's willingness to produce an alternative which is not on the menu. And for front of house to offer a wine which is not listed. Although wood paneled Mortimers is well lit, creating a calm & relaxing ambience. This is a "treat" venue for me and I appreciate it all the more for that.

    We came here because it was dog friendly and because of the high star reviews. As soon as we sat down the waitress came over with a dog water bowl which we didn't even have to ask for, which was a great start. We went for a three course meal with a snack to begin with and each course was as amazing as the last. Great food and service. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful building and lovely restaurant. Service was professional and friendly. The food was well presented and very tasty. Just felt it was a little on the expansive side for what it was, but everywhere is expensive these days. The bill for 4 people was just shy of £300 for lunch. Only had one drink each ( one of them wine others were soft drinks), so £75 each for 3 courses was for us quite pricey. We would return, but only for special occasion.

    Something for everyone in the short menu. All perfectly cooked and presented. Excellent service and really good value for money. It is always a very enjoyable experience dining at The Cliffe. It never fails.
