    We had the surprise A La Carte menu, and more than once I told my partner, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten". Everything was exquisite, the service was perfect, and everyone was attentive and kind. It's a beautiful space, too! Highly recommend Glover's Alley for a wonderful fine dining experience.

    Dined in the Oxhorn recently for my birthday and was super impressed with everything! The service was fantastic, friendly & efficient. The food was delicious, especially the steaks! Couldn't get over the value for money, steak actually comes with sides included in the price! Loved that you could see the chefs cooking and putting the finishing touches to their presentations. Ambience was lovely with a nice Christmas buzz. Our first time here and certainly won't be our last, Thank you for a memorable experience.

    Lovely restaurant and food was great. The issue was when we arrived and said we had a booking, the person serving us couldn’t find it. When I showed him the email confirmation of the booking he said the hotel doesn’t really use open table as a booking platform but he would try and accommodate us. We asked if we could sit outside and we’re told there was no tables. There were clearly two tables outside not being used and when we asked if we could sit at one of them he agreed. It was an unusual first few minutes, but following on from that everything was great.
