"An earlier conversation with the owner left me with eager anticipation of an evening with friends at Francesco 's last Saturday. My wife and I arrived to find an a homely restaurant setting with lively Italian music booming out. We were all set for a fun evening...Our friends arrived who we had not seen for a long time and stood to greet them. Instead we were instantly approached by the surly owner gruffly telling us all to sit down and order our food as they were busy that evening. We meekly complied, taken aback by this strange attitude and, quite frankly, rudeness on the part of 'mine host '.It got worse, the owner stripped off to a singlet vest top and roamed about the restaurant bellowing orders to his small staff who clearly were in fear of him. We asked a poor lady waitress if the music could be turned down a tad so that we could hear ourselves speak. She rolled her eyes and declined to approach the boss....In an earlier conversation prior to booking, the owner had assured me that all the food used in the restaurant was fresh. Absolute rubbish! We chose squid or antipasta to start and as far as the squid was concerned were presented with something that did not look like squid. It may have been squid it was difficult to tell but it was very ordinary and looked reminiscent of something from the freezer chest in Aldi. The antipasta was topped with nothing less than a bit of tinned salmon!This was followed by our mains. I was looking forward to my spaghetti marinara. What I received was a pile of steaming hot spaghetti, very al dente, on which a tomato flavoured pasta sauce had been slopped. If one looked carefully one could find the odd small prawn, an occasional small mussel or a squid ring. All very reminiscent of what one would find in a bag of frozen seafood. So much for fresh!The food was left on the plates largely uneaten. The surprising thing was that the staff were not surprised we had left it and did not query whether there was a problem! The bill £115.00 paid very reluctantly but we just wanted to leave it was all so appalling.A disappointing and embarrassing evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant was tense and unpleasant, the food, such as it was, decidedly below expectation.Our first visit to Francesco 's. Very poor experience; we will not be coming again, not only because of the food but the owner 's unpleasant manner and rudeness!"

"it was easy to catch these big youngs on the day before the open. I had just got to eat, but after entering to see only the menu I had to order a pizza to try, I can certainly say not disturb venting for their run of the mill chain art pizza shop these youngs have covered it. great pizza, great service, what more you need. Good luck."

Kings Head

"I have dined at the King's Head for over 40 years on many special occasions. And oftentimes, just because I want to enjoy a decent meal out in a restaurant that delivers exceptional food so hard to find outside London. The Aylesbury Duck for two...is a must but should be requested when booking to avoid disappointment. Georges de Maison and his team do an outstanding job and have adapted the restaurant and menu to accommodate changing times and tastes. The King's Head is about quintessential fine dining, and my only surprise is that not all guests dress for the occasion these days. This is a pity as turning up in jeans and a t-shirt at such a wonderful venue would only make one feel out of place! If you have not visited, I would recommend the King's Head restaurant most highly."

"Staff inattentive at times. Didn’t ask how we wanted our steak cooked. Tables are the same size whether you are a 2 or a 4 we could definitely have done with more room and seated at a better table, location wise. Ordered side of chips that didn’t materialise but we weren’t charged bonus. Couldn’t cut pizza. Too much pesto on dishes and cherry tomatoes. More variety and choice would be good. Would have to be persuaded to give it another go."
