   The food was very good as it always is. The service was mixed we ordered cocktails and they arrived after the starters! We asked the waitress to hold the food and she agreed- so it worked out well- would definitely recommend the Kite.

   Fantastic food and fabulous service. We really enjoyed the relaxing environment, we could easily chat and hear each other. Food was outstanding and they were really accommodating to my friend who has to follow a certain diet. Great value set menu, a really fantastic experience

   A bit disappointing to tell the truth. It was over half an hour before we got a drink and then had to ask to order as felt food would be so long. The staff were friendly enough but just not very attentive. Would have expected a finger bowl with mussels but didn’t get one. The food was really good but we just wouldn’t return any time soon which is a shame.

   Where do I start. Had great expectations for this place, but extremely disappointed! On arrival it was obvious they were short staffed, we were taken to our dirty table. We eventually ordered a 2 soups & 1 scotch egg, mainly due to the cold & noisy atmosphere. Then they presented us with a pot of dirty cutlery. When our food arrived it was cold. At no point did any server check if everything was ok! We promptly went to the bar to pay our bill, we were asked if everything was ok & discounted accordingly. Won’t be returning any time soon.

   Beef shin pie was delicious as was the Blood orange trifle. Ate in the bar area as had a dog with us. Lovely ambience and always great service from the staff.

    Went to the Kite for Sunday lunch. We both went for the roast (1 x beef, 1 x mushroom wellington). Both were excellent. Beef was succulent and juicy, the pastry on the wellington just right. The accompanying cauliflower cheese was a centrepiece in its own right. Only small quibble was that the service was a little slow, but when mentioned was immediately put right. Would definitely recommend.
