    Always wonderful food at a reasonable price for such high end quality and skill. From the snack to the bread and butter, the starters and mains (we didn't have time for dessert), everything was outstanding. Service staff are also friendly and knowledgeable.

    The food is so amazing I am trying to stick to veganism and was worried I would crack & eat fish or meat but no, the fabulous vegan choice was superb I had nothing to worry about!! I’m so happy for the people of Westgate to have this restaurant. Bringing the area up in the world. It used to be the bucket and spade shop if you’ve not been [to Westgate] for a while. I got a birthday card too from the staff which was a lovely surprise. Thank you guys.

    Sunday lunch with 2 other couples. The set menu was incredible value - venison croquettes starters; chicken or pork belly mains were both very good and no-one was going home hungry! From the a la carte - monkfish terrine and the venison filet were both perfect. We treid the sticky toffee pudding and shipwreck tart - impossible to recommend one above the other as both were delicious. Service with a smile, attentive, but not intrusive. Everything was relaxed, no fuss or drama, with the usual open kitchen for those interested in observing the chef at work. The owner and head chef, Rafa, wasn't there when we visited, but from service to the kitchen, everyone was on top of their game. Can't recommend Quince enough - plus the re are lots of interesting shops to visit if you're there during the day.

    We would have enjoyed the experience more if we had been a bit warmer, although they did provide a heater. My husband was facing the back of the restaurant looking at the disabled toilet door…which was a bit disappointing. The food was very good and overall we had an enjoyable experience.

    There’s a lot of talk about good quality neighbourhood restaurants. This restaurant answers that talk. The food is really well presented, very well cooked and uses great local produce. It’s a really accessible, unpretentious restaurant. The service is very genuine, polite and not at all stiff, however has a nicely efficient structure to it. The pricing appears to have some thought behind it as well, if you want to spend a bit you can, or you can have a really good meal at a very reasonable price with the set menu. We have tried both options on our visits and not been let down by either. A really good restaurant

    Flawless meal and service Little bit chilly as we were in line of the door but not sure much can be done about that as was a freezing night. Maybe a curtain across the door to stop the draft would help. Didn’t detract from a really wonderful evening and meal though. Will definitely revisit!
