“Great staff. Great food. Just delicious. Been going here for years. Dependably perfect Chinese cuisine. Plus they serve the best IPA while waiting for your takeaway.”

“The food was amazing as always — absolutely delicious and consistently great quality. My only small frustration was that my scheduled collection order was delayed, but it was clear the restaurant was extremely busy and seemed a bit understaffed. Given how packed it was, the situation was understandable, and the staff were doing their best. Still one of my favourite places for authentic Thai food!”

“Went to the Four Pears for a business lunch yesterday and had an amazing steak! It was cooked to perfection and the only problem was I wanted more! I had to leave for a meeting but the person I was with had a sticky toffee pudding that he said was divine. Definitely go here if you haven’t already.”

“What a great experience. A night out with the lads was not a disappointment. From the traditional Turkish food to the array of drinks on offer. Music throughout and an unexpected, but entertaining belly dance show. There was also lots of happy birthday vibes with the staff playing a Turkish drum and getting everyone involved in the celebrations. Do not miss out!”

“I absolutely love this place! The food is beyond delicious—every bite is full of amazing flavors. The service is top-notch; the staff is so friendly and makes you feel truly welcome. It’s one of those places where you feel at home from the moment you walk in. If you’re looking for great food, a cozy atmosphere, and fantastic service, this is the place to be! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Took my sister here for a birthday meal. The food was delicious. Portions were a good size and reasonably priced. A great selection of drinks too. We were made to feel very welcome, staff were friendly, funny and polite and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely re-visit in the future. Thank you :)”

“Amazing place! The food is outstanding, very good quality, well prepared & presented. Very friendly staff, cozy & relaxed atmosphere. Always a pleasure to come back to. Also lovely paintings & art work for sale.”

“This was our first experience at Cromwell Cottage. We enjoyed everything about our time here. Our food was cooked perfectly for us - hot, fresh & the steaks to our preference. Staff were attentive, professional, friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Atmosphere was relaxed & happy. Myself & my husband were able to have a conversation without having to shout across the table to each other. We will definitely visit again in the future.”

“Superb Indian restaurant tucked away in the small village of Graffham. Unexpected find, but so pleased we gave it a go. Food was excellent quality, flavours and portion sizes. Great value for money. Very friendly staff and good service. Even better was finding a dog friendly Indian (we took two medium sized, very well behaved dogs). Would visit again if ever in this area again. Recommend to anyone staying at the Caravan and Camping Club site.”

“Got a takeout while staying at centre parcs; we phoned at 5.30pm for a takeout collection at 6pm for 16 people… they were super friendly and managed our order brilliantly. Food was great too and they threw in a good discount and some freebies like chillies, wine and beer.”

“Recently visited a friend down in Sandy as he's mentioned the Ghandi before we ended up going for dinner on Sunday, was seated immediately, we ordered drinks were here straight away, food arrived shortly after ordering the potions sizes were absolutely on the money, and incredibly tasty, I was expecting an expensive bill at the end but I couldn't believe how low costing it was to feed 3 of us! Will visit again on our next visit!”

“We came to celebrate our grandpa on his birthday at the one place he loved the most. What an amazing evening; can’t thank the guys enough. Beautiful family run restaurant we’ve come to for years. Our beloved papa, Barry Packer who worked many of nights with the team too, clearly made an unforgettable impression on them all. Was beautiful to see their reactions and hear their stories of working with him;was truly remarkable. A man who was loved by many and treated as one of their own, we will never forget the memories made. Thankyou to all who served us and knew our grandpa, you all made it such a special occasion for him and our family today.”

“I've been a customer here for almost a decade and have never had a bad experience. Whether it's takeaway (I always collect), or eating in the restaurant, the service is always fantastic. The food is always tasty, good value and the portions are very generous. Wouldn't go anywhere else!”

“Absolutely fantastic! Abdul’s Indian Kitchen is a real gem in Daventry. The food is always bursting with authentic flavours — you can tell everything is freshly prepared with care and attention. The curries are rich and perfectly spiced, the naan is soft and buttery, and the portions are generous. Abdul and his team are incredibly welcoming — they go above and beyond to make sure every visit feels special. Whether dining in or ordering takeaway, the quality is consistently top-notch.”

“Food was amazing! We had the Thai menu can’t wait to go back again”

“Great atmosphere and delicious food. Good portion sizes. Polite friendly service adds to the experience. Good value for money. They can really ramp up the spice though, so beware!”

“One of the Best Thai food ever I had in Oxford area. Thank you for quick service. Highly recommended”

“Always loved it here, been going for years! The ‘good’s under 600 calories meals’ part of the menu is so good if you are on a training plan or want a healthier option. The portion sizes are amazing and the deserts are top tier! Staff are lovely, couldn’t fault it at all”

“Wasn’t our first choice however we were really lucky out first choice was closed for refurbishment because La Foglia is a gem. Stopped for lunch with the family and service was polite and efficient, food was amazingly good and the price was incredibly reasonable.”

“Martini/The Cottage is a very cozy spot for some Italian food. We’d long been meaning to go in and decided to book in for a table of 6 last night. I like the old building a lot. Low ceilings, nice and warm inside, old architecture meets modern decor. Our food was great. I thought the garlic mushrooms with pancetta and cheese were incredible. Very filling and full of flavour. The veal I had for the main course didn’t disappoint either. Some of the most amazing mashed potatoes I’ve had and some very flavourful meat. I’m very impressed. The prices were very good as well. I expected the final bill to be much more. Lastly, they serve a very good pint of birra moretti in here. We hope to return soon!”

“The Spanish tapas here are absolutely delicious! The cheesecake was so good it completely destroyed my “keep fit” plan—I couldn’t stop myself from devouring it. Every single dish was full of flavor and brought me right back to my time in Spain. The only downside? The basement vibe isn’t the coziest and the chairs weren’t very comfortable. Also, the server accidentally tried to charge us twice—but honestly, the food was so good I almost didn’t care! Plus, the staff are actually Spanish, which made the experience feel even more authentic. Strongly recommend! Just… next time, pretty please let me sit at one of the nice ground floor tables. Gracias!”
