The calzone was fabulous and the lemoncello dessert was very delicious. The staff were very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options.Kid-friendliness: They where very kind and I don't think they could do any better.Wheelchair accessibility: They put the ramp down especially for us and went out of there way to make room.

Kind and attentive service from Ben and a cosy setting, albeit in need of a refresh. Small things like the Aldi branded salt grinders on tables and stained placemats could certainly be updated. The food unfortunately isn’t what I would consider authentic Italian cuisine or restaurant standard food in all honesty. The mushroom starter was baked mushrooms on top of a warbutons thins sandwich slice, squeezed into a small dish. The pasta dish I ordered contained almost raw garden vegetables (not chargrilled as described) and lacked flavour and seasoning, disappointing. It’s a shame as it’s a great location and as mentioned, Ben seemed lovely, but the food sadly lets the place down.

The front of house guy was lovely and so friendly and helpful and pleasant and couldn't do enough for you!

Honestly the only redeeming things about this restaurant were Ben and the mussels. The wine, which is charged at £17.50 on the menu was a bottle from lidl which costs £3.89!! The mussels starter was delicious but had chunks of almost raw onion in the sauce. My partners starter tasted good but looked like it had been thrown on the plate. I ordered the sea bass fillet and my partner the seafood fiesta. The fish was genuinely the worst I've ever had. It was dry and nothing like it was described on the menu. And I'm certain it wasn't sea bass. The sauce was inedible. The seafood fiesta contained a langoustine which had no meat inside, 2 prawns which were almost impossible to peel and exactly the same dry, inedible, fish which I had. Ben, who is a wonderful, polite young man gives fantastic service and was mortified about the state of the food which was served. We tipped him, as he deserved it. The food was already, unfortunately,paid for as we had a voucher but he kindly refused to charge us for the wine. I was very surprised after reading the reviews on here at how bad the food was. It felt like there was no love or passion put into the food which was served. Having worked in kitchens for a long time I would NEVER let food like that leave my kitchen.
Had a lovely meal here for my son's 18th Birthday. Very friendly staff which I like that comes from a small family restaurant that you hardly ever get from a national chain restaurant

What a surprise, blink and you might miss it or mistake for a house but this is a superb small restaurant. Family home ambiance, great (exceptional) service and delicious food. The camembert starter was excellent as was the Prawn, main course pasta was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

We have been coming to Cheikhos off and on for quite a few years and it never disappoints. The food is very good indeed, especially the Diablo Moules ? Tonight we brought my parents for the first time and they loved it too!! Cheikhos had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the personal service in this family run restaurant is as good as it gets.
