great evening celebrating made a fabulous place to do that. Food amazing the garlic prawns were to die for, chilled atmosphere staff couldn't do enough, cocktails in abundance . well done will recommend .

Wow, amazing food, gorgeous setting, helpful friendly staff and to die for desserts! Without doubt will be going back!

We live less than 10 minutes away from this wonderful restaurant but had never managed to get a table which speaks volumes for its popularity. We were not disappointed, firstly, the staff, all of them, were pleasant and knowledgeable. The tapas food was amazing particularly the cod special but the sharing dessert platter was the star of the evening!! The ambiance is lovely and we have already booked to go back with friends!!

We arrived with only half an hours notice and received the best service. A 2012 bottle of wine was also found to celebrate our 6 year anniversary, the gorgeous platter at the end didn't go amiss! We will be back...thank you x

Was Celebrating a special birthday. The food was excellent and also the service .The Staff are very friendly and made sure everyone was happy . Had a dairy free and gluten free in our group and they went out of their way make sure we didn't miss out on the delicious dishes. We had the feast menu and i could not fault this one bit. The wines were great too Thank you for a great evening.

Third visit... Had a dodgy first visit when the food didn't turn up as quick as it should..However.. The subsequent visits have been well worth it... Had a great time last night.. Excellent food.. Drink & service....will be making a fourth trip soon..

Think it has to be the best Sunday lunch I have had out, the sharing platters are a great idea and it's such great value. Will be back for sure. Oh and the staff were great too.

Really lovely, relaxed Sunday lunch at The Bench. The food was amazing and the customer service was great. I will be returning.

Outdoor seating in the sun with fabulous food and friends

Lovely food, great service, large tables, reasonable price, very recommended

In December I won a prize of a 3 course Sunday lunch. My husband I visited last Sunday and we really enjoyed our meal, it was all cooked to perfection and the dessert was yummy! The service was great, the atmosphere was fabulous - we loved the live music. We will certainly be coming back very soon! Thankyou all so much, we both had a lovely time �

Great food and service, we eat here often and the standards never drop. Love the salt and pepper squid and sharing pudding platter. My only comment would be that the pork belly could of had cracking on top but it still tasted amazing!

Gorgeous food! Amazing pudding and great live music. Definitely going back!

Fantastic food and drinks, huge roast dinner, great value for money. Well worth a visit

Delicious tapas Thursday! Great price and brilliant food ! Definitely be going back

Brilliant food and chilled atmosphere. We were celebrating and was the perfect place to do so. You do need to get the point of a tapas bar, which some of the negative reviews below seem to forget. Staff friendly and accomadating to needs. We ordered a few dishes at a time, which was great. Thank you for a memorable evening.

As another reviewer has said, this place serves up the best Sunday roast. They serve it on a platter and it's really tasty! Tried the dessert platter and it was insanely delicious. The waiters and restaurant manager are such a pleasure. Live music was a really nice touch today too.

Had a lovely three course meal , all courses wher very tasty. Will certainly visit again.

Menu reduced since last visit lamb was not cooked at all well, and lacks a good draught beer,
