    I’ve eaten here on a few occasions now and each time it has been a delightful experience, not to mention the food they serve is picture perfect and delicious! This time I brought a few of my friends as part of a jolly, the ambiance was perfect, the Christmas decor was out in full glory and the once again the food was exceptional, in particular the braised Herefordshire beef orgasmic! Clos Maggiore was brimming with customers, so much so we had to wait a little for our table. However by way of compensation we were treated to a really delicious glass of Prosecco which successfully sweetened the deal. My only niggle was that the sommelier was a little busy which meant the experience of timing the wine to the plate wasn’t spot on but in fairness the restaurant was packed! So overall we all had a really lovely time!

    Went ALL IN for lunch. Perfect amount for 2 blokes washed down with a very pleasant pale ale. The service was excellent, very patient and they dealt with a dairy intolerance with clear understanding of what was possible. Will be going back as I want to try the steaks next. Great value business lunch in a super location.

    I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. The risotto was simply exquisite, cooked to perfection with a creamy texture and rich, well-balanced flavors. The highlight, however, was the lobster — prepared with such skill and attention to detail that every bite was a delight. The freshness of the seafood and the artistry in the presentation truly set this dish apart. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!
