I have been to the Box Tree many times. Yesterday was my best visit. Everything was superb. Plenty of staff working and all well trained. I go to far more Michelin starred restaurants than most people - perhaps 10 a year. Yesterday's lunch with 2 star standard. Let's hope you are properly recognised soon. Many thanks.

Fabulous time and food, we loved it! However, we didn't particularly like the genre of music that was playing and it was a bit loud.

This was our second visit to The Box Tree and the meal and service were exemplary. Our last visit was two months ago and there was a completely new menu to enjoy, as delicious as the first. Would highly recommend.
