The White Truffle is a much needed addition to Nailsea, we are definitely lacking a restaurant that prides itself on fine dining and to have somewhere local to go for that special occasion. Reading up on all of the great reviews, coupled with verbal recommendation's from friends I decided to book for my wife's birthday. Firstly, the food was absolutely amazing, full of flavour and well presented. However, the service from the front of house needs work. Not a particularly welcoming environment, it felt rushed and certainly not the fine dining experience we were expecting. Several small things that with training and a bit of polishing will make a massive difference. On arrival we were quickly ushered to our table, no offer to take coats so hung them on the back of the chair. Table was wobbly Candle unlit and remained unlit Rushed to take our main meal order without the offer of drinks first Un-attentive staff, no follow up during the meal to ask if everything was ok or if we wanted anything else No offer of additional drinks during the meal, I had one drink and my glass remained empty for the remainder of the evening
Appreciate some of the above are a little picky, but when you are paying top prices for quality food you expect the service to match, its the whole package and experience that makes a quality restaurant stand out from the crowd. This restaurant is much needed in Nailsea and with a few changes it...
Read moreI've been looking forwards to my first of many visits to the White Truffle, having eaten Andrew Brooks food many times before. I knew that I would not be disappointed. We had a table of 5 for Sunday lunch and I like the fact that the menu is stripped down, as I really do not like huge menus. However don't get a well organised menu confused with a lack of choice, I had the cured salmon with beetroot. the presentation was stunning and very contemporary but also generous. A perfectly pink roast beef followed and the abundance of vegetables was a bonus including moorish cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage. Hats off to Andrew and his professional team for looking after us and we're looking forwards to our next visit as when you have a gem of a restaurant like White Truffle near you it is important to visit as often as possible and the prices are...
Read moreNailsea - What have you done to deserve this fantastic restaurant ?!? I can not fathom how this cosy restaurant does not have a Michelin star. It displays the highest degree of craftsmanship and plenty of personality from two chefs who tirelessly cook classic dishes. Most importantly, the food here is a joy to eat, which is something I can not always say about Michelin restaurants. Ingredients are luxurious and prepared carefully. Plates are rich but with balance and finesse. The waiting staff are extremely friendly and polite, and the drinks list extensive with some excellent selections. I had the lamb, and it simply melted in my mouth. This is a restaurant I will happily return to each time I am near Nailsea. Excellent pricing, and lovely thoughtful decor.
