First time here tonight. The food was beautiful and the cocktails were delicious. We found the staff to be very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing with nice lighting. I was surprised (in a good way) how fast the food was served, without affecting the quality! Definitely will be back :)

It's a nice place for Sunday lunch (10/12 but what is it they do to roast meat that leaves it flavourless with synthetic texture? Broil it?Less is more...and while most staff pleasant some need to at least pretend they would not rather be somewhere else!! Could be so much better.

We went here on a Sunday night around 7.30pm and got presented with the Sunday lunch menu. The service was so so slow even though the restaurant wasn?t busy. When the food eventually arrived it was obvious that we had got Sunday lunch leftovers. It was just turfed out on the plate with items missing due to the fact that they had run out. Food was awful and I find it hard to believe that they expect Sunday evening diners to accept Sunday lunch leftovers and pay for it! We will definitely not be back.

Never been to this restaurant before and won't be going again . Don't really know where to start . Food awful had issues with a lot of the food ,staff were friendly enough but don't think they had any training as waiting staff. We did bring all the faults to there attention but not sure they were that bothered

Dined here for a Father's Day set menu lunch which offered good choice. Food was tasty and portions were generous. Nice decor in a peaceful atmosphere. Minor issue over bill was resolved to our satisfaction.

Lovely restaurant in a great spot away from the town not that it did prove difficult getting a taxi even though it was 8.30pm. There is a nice vibe and astomspere staff very friendly and zara couldn't be more helpful.. The menu was A la carte we thought it was 3 courses for £30 but I don't know if that's only on certain days we weren't giving an option. But it didnt matter as what we ordered we enjoyed and couldn't fault it. Would like to try it at lunch time with friends as I said there's a nice astomspere.

I've eaten at Caterina's Bistro several times, each time hoping it might return to its previous high standards, but unfortunately this was the worst yet. I'll start with the positive, staff were friendly and welcoming, attentive and very helpful. The wine was lovely, and the beer was cold.......then came the food. Two starters, two mains, issues with them all. Arancini balls were the best of a bad bunch, smoked tomato chutney was full of flavour and one of the two arancini balls was beautiful, the second was over cooked and past crispy, The outer shell was hard. Not sure how this was achieved, I would have thought they would have been cooked together. Shredded duck looked dry and tasted even drier. The dressing helped, but to be honest, it shouldn't have left the kitchen. Sugar pit pork was more like a pork chop with gravy out of a packet, black pudding bon bon was cooked to within an inch of it's life, and it was served on a bed of mash which was strangely not listed on the menu. I ordered a side of garlic potatoes (chips with garlic butter), with the majority of the butter on the outside of the bowl. Goat's cheese and red onion tartlet was presented in a dry pastry case which appeared to be shop bought. Onion and cheese filling was tasty, and it was served with.........well, it was supposed to be served with a hazelnut and beetroot salad, but neither of these appeared in the salad that was plated. With numerous outside drinkers using the restaurant as a thoroughfare to the toilets, stopping at the restaurant bar only to be told they couldn't be served, I couldn't but think a sign directing outside drinkers via the public bar my have been kinder for those trying to enjoy a meal. It looks like what used to be my local, go to place to eat (between the bistro and the bar).....well I won't be back. Nights out are a luxury in these hard times, and I won't be wasting it here again.

Sunday night dinner with friends at this bistro proved to be an experience best forgotten! Complete lack of atmosphere along with staff who clearly require further training! To top this off the food was awful. Out of our party of five only one dinner selection was considered reasonable. Without exaggerating it really was one of the worst dining experiences I?ve had!
