"Our parents live locally to this venue, speak very highly about it and have been promising the take us for some years now. We went today and I honestly don’t know why it took us this long, but we will be back. Feeding three generations well (and to high standards of satisfaction) is no easy task, but this menu had something for everyone, despite its relative simplicity (see pics) We enjoyed the burger, cauliflower, haddock, salmon tian, prosecco, espresso, posset, frangipane and affogato. The space was both elegant and welcoming. The dishes were beautifully presented and made you want to tuck in. The meals were pitch perfect; some had enough dish innovation to make them memorable whereas others promised and delivered exactly what they said. So smart to do that. Puddings all excellent, as was my espresso. Prices are always subjective but from my perspective, really great value. The service and bigger venue picture were cracking too; lovely care and banter with the side option of choosing and taking away some cards, gifts and Middlemore nursery plants too. I mean, who knew that was going to be what I really needed on a Saturday lunchtime. I know now. Possibly the best lunchtime venue nr Richmond? But shhh, don’t tell everyone or we will never get booked next time."

"The steaks and stone bass were tasty and reasonably priced at this restaurant. The wine selection was great and well priced as well. However, the Vegan Beyond Meat burger was a disappointment, as it seemed overpriced for simply a patty with onion and tomato in a bun, lacking any sauce or creativity. The service was a bit disorganized, with the waiter struggling to bring food and drinks efficiently. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the tables were too close together, causing discomfort and hindering the waitstaff's ability to access certain seats. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not worth a high rating."

"Popped into White Swan after dinner last night although I've walked past it many times it always looked so small from the outside. Well it's not that small once you're there. Lovely bar area with plenty seating, then a separate dining area, the outside seating area is just beautiful. Beautiful, lush greenery that's not plastic, fairy lights all over, comfortable seats, with a little corner that's set for a romantic evening. Very clean inside, even the washroom facility was spotless. Not sure about the food, as we didn't eat, but definitely return to find out. All in all a real gem."

La Piazza

Piatti • Pizza • Mexican • Asiatic • Seafood

"I had the worst experience at this Italian restaurant. For the starter, I ordered ribs, but they came with a watery sauce and bland ingredients that were separating in the bowl. The meat was overcooked to the point where the fat was nearly liquefied. The pizza lacked flavor and was made with noticeably poor ingredients. When I asked for chili oil to enhance the meal, the staff didn’t understand and brought me a small dish of chili sauce instead. I did voice my complaints but received the typical meaningless apology and one of the pizzas was taken off the bill. In hindsight, I should have refused to pay for everything except the wine. Save your time and money; you're better off grabbing a pizza from the supermarket."

"The fixed meal for two at this Chinese restaurant was truly delicious and the best we have had in memory. The service was super fast for each course, thanks to the extra staff that have recently been hired. The food was out of this world, cooked and served in minimal time. We started with Prawn Crackers Dip followed by the most delicious Crispy Duck with Pancakes we have ever tasted. The service from the kind and beautiful server was exceptional. We also enjoyed a shared dish of beef in black bean sauce and a Szechuan dish, followed by a Lychee dessert and citrus fruits. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be returning soon. A big thank you to the wonderful staff for their excellence."
