    It was very nice but very rushed. Christmas dinner is not a sprint it is a marathon. By ignoring that concept they ruined what would have been a beautiful festive feast.

    Nice vibe for Xmas lunch set menu. Friendly staff. Can’t fault the food but it didn’t wow me for the price of £125 per head. Partly the portions while fine and I was satisfied I could have been bigger - which I would have eaten- for the price. Overall I’d say it was quite good but if the proof is in the question would I go back next year or recommend to a friend the answer is no unfortunately.

    We enjoyed, nay, loved our experience at Fitz’s for Christmas lunch. It could not have been better. Cocktails to champagne to burgundy, pared with magnificent dishes, including lobster bisque, scallops, turkey, pudding and more. OMG it was great. But the service was spectacular. We had Naeera, a French lady who was exceptionally attentive. Over four hours of bliss! Thank you Naeera — you made Christmas 2024 so special for us.

    Great all round first time experience at L'Oscar. Lovely setting and quality feel to the hotel public areas. Chicken Caesar salad was the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! Difficult to find any faults - The only negative was the price of after dinner coffees. (Unnecessarily expensive).

    Went for my birthday dinner with friends. Very traditional old English hotel which I loved. Limited menu but the food was very nice. We enjoyed it. We weren't rushed to leave the table. I'll be back
