Most Disliked
Some diners mention minor temperature issues, noting that the restaurant can feel a little chilly upon entering. However, the attentive staff typically find solutions promptly, such as seating guests near radiators. The brownie dessert has received mixed feedback about its texture, suggesting room for improvement. While most guests appreciate the offerings, a few find the seasonal menu limited on certain evenings, feeling it might not accommodate all tastes. Overall, these points are minor in comparison to the positive aspects of dining at Truffles.

This restaurant is superb. I loved every bite. I had a friendly and courteous welcome from the waitress and the food was delicious. Each dish was art on a plate and the flavours were just right. The only thing I could slightly fault was the Brownie dessert. The texture was not quite right but the flavour was nice. The red wine was fantastic and the desert wine was very nice too. It was a tiny bit cold inside the restaurant when I arrived. Luckily they sat me next to a radiator so I soon warmed up.

Went here for dinner on a Friday Night. Just because and it was delicious. My pork fillet perfectly moist, the venison perfectly rare. The restaurant is nicely spaced and offers a small menu of seasonal dishes to meet most dietary requirements. As ever a wonderful dinner we all loved. If you have not tried this restaurant please do it is lovely.

We visited as an anniversary treat. The food was amazing, Jemma and Jessica looked after us really well. We had 3 courses and each one was delicious and well cooked. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Lovely little restaurant 😍

I can honestly say that the pan roasted fillet of beef is the tastiest plate of food I’ve eaten in the last 20 years if this place is not Michelin star rated soon I will be very surprised!

Just beautiful food. Fabulous flavour combinations, beautifully presented, great quality wine and the service was faultless. One of those meals that you keep thinking about for ages after you have eaten it. I had to try and slow up how quickly I devoured it so I could savour it for longer. I can thoroughly recommend it. ❤️
