Delightful Victorian country house with excellent food.

We were very disappointed by the service and quality of food on our first visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant. We found the length of wait to be seated (55 minutes) and between courses (30-45 minutes) far too long. The service was poor and the waiters were very disorganised.

The food was not to the level we expected (the pasta chewy, flavours clashing and overpowering dishes). It is safe to say we will not be returning to here.

Absolutely fantastic - I have never tasted food like it! And a stunning venue to complement the food.

My wife and I visited the Old Vicarage at Ridgeway and were delighted at our first visit to this Michelin star restaurant.

The sample taster menu comprised of 6 small courses, which were all delicious. We were guided through the extensive wine list so we could compliment our meal. The restaurant has a young manager who will one day be at a top London venue. Forget the price have a special night out.

Dinner - 6/6/07 My initial reflections on the Old Vicarage Restaurant is that it really is a bit sad and tired and running on its previous reputation. Using young inexperienced staff is commendable, but only if you train them correctly to know what it is they are serving, how to serve wine and have their hair neat and tidy. The grounds, decor, furnishings, cutlery, crockery, linen are all way below par and the food, whilst interesting, not at all to the standard I would have expected for the money.
