    Charlie was so knowledgeable about the the menu and wine list we were surprised to learn he’d only been at Ember for a few months. Food was 10/10 and all the staff were so friendly and passionate about the food

    Highly recommended! The whole experience was fantastic, from the moment we were taken to our seats, the service was excellent. We had the tasting menu, seven courses of the most delicious food. Each course delivered by the chef who cooked it. They each explained what it was & how it had been created. It was so difficult to choose a favourite. We will definitely be back!

    An excellent visit to Ember today. I took my Mum for a birthday / Mother's day treat & as always, the experience was exceptional. Charlie seated us & explained to my Mum (who was there for the first time) how the menu & wine paring would play out. Every course was delicious, the quality & care taken were superb. Charlie explained each wine, with enthusiasm, professionalism & he was friendly & happy to chat to us about our dogs. He's a real asset to the team, it was a pleasure to meet you Charlie. It was good to chat to Hannah & the team. Thank you Ember for making the experience wonderful for my 78 year old Mum & I

    We had a fantastic lunch with a very delicious tasting menu for potential new dishes. The food was expertly cooked and very tasty. I ate a wonderful salmon tartare which was incredible and I really don't like salmon. The dishes cooked over the open flame still retained their own flavours without smoke overkill. Desserts were delicious. We need to go back to eat from the main menu as it all sounds so good!
