La Vita — Restaurant in England

We called in for an evening meal - main course only . Extremely disappointed in the sharing fish platter at nearly £70, we’ve had so much better at a cheaper price, what a dismal array, where’s the crab, scallops, large king prawn, no salad or samphire provided and no slaw only 1 singular small pot of chipped wedges with 4 chips each ? When it arrived our immediate impression was ‘is that it’ ! What we had was tasty - yes but not anywhere near enough for two to dine for the price paid, we left hungry and cheated ! Another of our diners had the pork chop, very dry meal no gravy/jus provided, swapped their new potatoes for chips and was charged an extra £2 for the privilege- that’s greedy as you only provide a small amount in a pot, other establishments aren’t so frugal with their portions. Nice girls waited on us but forgetful service provided, we had to prompt. Clean immaculate premises. We won’t be returning !

In reply to your response- for £70 you should be providing that sort of seafood and sides for that price not scampi and 8 tempura prawns, some mussels, small portion of salmon and sea bass, one bowl of chips to share, I’m quite aware you have to make a profit but that’s...

Lovely place. I visited with 6 others and it was a good experience and very enjoyable evening.

The ONLY thing that's not fantastic is parking: we arrived it two cars and neither of us could get in the car park that belongs to the place - we had to park round the corner outside some houses. This wasn't a big deal (the walk was only 1 min) but it's annoying all the same. Their car park is rather oddly laid out, which isn't helping matters, but as I say, there is parking (or places to park anyway) just round the corner, so it's not a massive issue - not for me anyway.

The food was very nice indeed. Everyone enjoyed it, and three of the group were French and couldn't speak English, so the fact that they enjoyed their food is actually amazing!

Service was fast, polite and very good. The ladies serving us were all very good.

It's a small but we'll run place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a quiet and fun meal with family or friends. If however, you're wanting a loud, lavish, evening of drinking, shouting, singing and being daft, this is NOT the...

I had high expectations having followed the takeover on the business Facebook page. I booked lunch for my friend and I. I’ve recently had to adapt my diet for health reasons so based on this I chose a vegetable heavy dish with no sauce or deep friend elements. I added chicken.

I ordered the roasted butternut squash with goats cheese and cous cous. Adding chicken for £2 for extra protein.

What arrived was a plate of buttered baby potatoes, with some cherry tomatoes, about a tablespoon of butternut squash and a large chicken breast on top, no goats cheese at all.

I highlighted this to my lovely server, who is always friendly and professional. She brought the information to the chef who simply said “they apologise but the menu changed”. The manager was made aware too.

Not an offer of a free drink, a percentage off the bill or an apology for getting a completely wrong dish.

So very disappointed as we were excited to have a new lease of life to the pub / restaurant. Not...
