    The staff are friendly, polite & helpful with any questions we asked about the food. The food was tasteful and scrumptious especially the Lemon Thyme Chicken Supreme and the Apple Tarte Tatin was absolutely delicious.

    Went as a large group and everything was pretty on point. Decent service, great food. They could do with some more interesting beers and a few natural wines. Disappointed the one menu item I was excited for wasn't available. I assume seasonal availability had something to do with it. Overall, I'd go back.

    The staff were friendly,helpful and welcoming. Couldn't fault their service. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a 3 course meal and every plate was divine. Thank you chefs !!!!!! The only down fall is the high tables in the restaurant are more like something you find at your local pub. I wouldve though "Lennon's restaurant " would only have ALL the table as a restaurant table not bar table for some and a dinner table for others and you don't get to choose.
