“A good standard is maintained” at Eric & Christiana Piedaniel’s Gallic venture of over 25 years’ standing – a smartly decorated and comfortable venue, which inhabits a high-ceilinged, characterful oak-beamed room and which serves traditional French cuisine that’s “good value”.

“Great-value French cuisine particularly mid-week and lunch” remains an excellent reason to visit Eric & Christina Piedaniel’s stalwart Gallic outfit, established in 1994, and enjoying a stellar reputation locally.

“Still here (since 1994) and busier than ever”, this “family-run home to solid if unshowy French cooking” “stands out for excellence in an otherwise mediocre region”. “Great value”, too – “particularly mid week & lunch”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
