Best English Restaurants in Standon

Absolutely delicious food and delightful service. Can thoroughly recommend for a great night out or even in our case a pre theatre dinner. Tonight there was also a great vibe and atmosphere l guess due to the fact it’s nearly Christmas.

This was my second visit and both trips were excellent. I have also been to the original restaurant on St John Street and both are excellent but different. Bread and Wine is slightly more informal that St John Street but like the parent has excellent food, wine and service.

Ourselves and two other couples get together once a month for a meal at different restaurants and pubs. We chose the Sword in Hand as it has a good reputation for food, and isn’t far from where we live. The meal was exquisite, 4 of us having the “Christmas pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other 2 had chicken schnitzel, and fish and chips, who also had no complaints. The service was impeccable, giving extra commendation to the younger staff who were very attentive, ensuring we were happy with the meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We did the Nutcracker afternoon tea it was wonderful! Food was lovely the decorations and the way it’s all presented is fab! Highly recommend it well worth a visit!

Great food. Wish we booked our seats indoors. Very friendly staff and the bartender made me a stupendously good Margarita which I’ll be coming back for.
