This was by far the worst Christmas meal I have ever had placed in front of me. I booked a table for 14 of my family on Christmas Day at 15.00 hours. We eventually sat down at 15.50 and waited another 25 minutes for starters. When the starters eventually turned up, the ones that where correct where warm, which would be ok but unfortunately they where prawn cocktails and not being a chef but pretty sure cold and fresh is how it should be served. Then we had to wait nearly another hour for the mains, one had ordered gammon and unfortunately the chef said he had over cooked the gammon so much he couldn’t serve it. Then when the rest came out some had pigs in blankets what could break a window the lucky ones did not. The Yorkshire Puddings where rock hard and there was little to no vegetables. I ordered beef, which didn’t visualise and when a plate was placed in front of me it was a bit of mash with one piece of turkey, one sprout, three bits of carrot and one roast potato. At 18.00 hours when we had been there for 3 hours a young employee came and asked if we could wait a little further for our sweets, however we had seen the table next to us get there’s and left in disgust so we declined to wait. To anyone who looks at what looks like a very nice establishment please think twice, we have tried to speak to the owner several times to no avail. He obviously only cares about profit and not quality. Many of my table where I’ll for many days after and that really is no surprise. If you are looking for somewhere new to eat I strongly advise you look elsewhere.
First visit and well worth the 2.5 mile walk in the rain to get there. Our choice of main courses were, Florence chicken and chicken Kiev, excellent. The service was good and the background music brilliant. Very nice setting. Definitely going back to sample the sweet course.
We have been to Florenece Bar and Bistro a few times now. The service is great and the food amazing. The 3 or 4 times we have visited we have never booked and always have been seated with no problems. The menu changes regularly so it's not the same choices when you visit. After dining we went through to the bar area where there was live music on. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic. Great front of house service with excellent chefs supporting them.
