The Old Vicarage

Had an absolutely amazing time here celebrating my partner's birthday. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was very interesting and with a good range, the building and chosen decor were lovely, and I much appreciated the wine guru (I'm afraid I didn't take his name, but very much a kindred spirit I feel, as well as being very approachable and amenable - some wine buffs come across as snobbish/arrogant in my experience, but not here! Knowledgable, competent...I'm left rather envious of his job 🤣). Very grateful for the lovely evening.

I went to a friend's wedding there. It was a small venue but very beautiful. The service was excellent and the food was stunning and cooked to perfection. Lovely.

Went as a treat, that’s exactly what it was. Absolutely first class service and the food was incredible. I cannot wrap my head around how they make simple things taste so good! The wine flight was sublime too. I would recommend the old vic to anyone, a truly exceptional experience

Although Tessa Bramley has been Chef Patron at The Old Vicarage for over thirty years, my relationship goes back even further, in fact another decade, so there’s a long history of fine dining, and I can honestly say things only get better. Swerving the three course option we choose the Prestige menu, a six course tasting option, with matched wines. Every course is a delight, exquisite flavours, elegantly matched and beautifully presented.

Had the most beautiful meal with family here for my special birthday! Everything was wonderful - would highly recommend for a very special occasion-The food and wines were exquisite!

Absolutely loved this, the food was delicious, and came out looking sensational. We went for the prestige meal, which is 7 courses. The staff were amazing couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely go again.

I visited The Old Vicarage wondering why they didn't have a Michelin star anymore. Much of my review is based on this. I felt the service was okay, it's better than your average restaurant. I think they hire people from the local college. This is fine but obviously they lack the polish! I also asked the main server a few questions and the answers were a 100% rehearsed. The food was amazing, it was all really delicious. One of the best meals I've ever had. I would definitely recommend getting the wine pairing! The sommelier was very knowledgeable and chatty. He was very happy to share all his knowledge about the different wines and his journey on becoming a sommelier. I'm not sure why they don't have the Michelin star anymore, I think it could be cos of the service but maybe the menu isn't very innovative. Although it is insanely delicious!!!!

Absolutely great place, seasonal menu. Excellent wine list and sommelier. Don't expect to come here on a budget but do expect excellent service and a meal to remember.
