October is here & as the weather gets a tad more fresh & temperatures drop, it's the perfect month to treat yourself to some comfort food! ๐Ÿ˜ How about some warming traditional French onion soup with cheese and croutons? Or a sizzling cheese souffle? Or perhaps a rich beef bourguignon? Or try our amazing seafood mornay to beat those blues when the colder weather sets in.... give us a call to make a booking or do it yourself in a few clicks on our website ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚

We had an amazing meal for our Wedding Anniversary. Every mouthful was delicious, and lots of gluten free options. The staff were friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes.

Outstanding service & superb food. I have never had a bad meal in here & the staff just can't do enough for you. Brilliant! Highly recommended.

Love Guildhall Tavern. We came here last night for my birthday celebrations and did the same last year - we all had an amazing meal, fantastic service and love the atmosphere of the restaurant!

I had organised a surprise 30th birthday meal for my partner and his 20 friends. I was absolutely blown away by the service and the incredible food. Severine was extremely flexible and attentive throughout to ensure the evening went as smoothly as possible and was as special as it could have been. Each and every person commented on how amazing the food was. I canโ€™t thank Severine enough for the stress-free planning and all her staff for the most amazing evening! X

Four of us went here on the 9th August for a lunchtime meal after I got married. We were led outside to the pretty courtyard for pre lunch drinks. The staff made it special for us without being over fussy. We went inside for our meal where we had been given a beautifully laid out table in a more personal large alcove. The staff did not hurry us but were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent, with large portions. Perfectly cooked fish and meat dishes with vegetables and salad. Yummy sweets. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was very busy but service was quick and timed to suit us. We will definitely recommend and return. Thank you for making our small wedding party feel as special as though we were the only customers on a very busy day.
