Menu choices midweek were not very imaginative.

First time for me and my wife we loved the restaurant's lovely environment!Food and presentation of the food was brilliant. The staff were friendly and also great at making cocktails!I think it's great value for money. I think most restaurants now are charging mains prices for starters whereas £5 is something brilliant and it's a good amount.We will be returning and I'll be telling people to go, we will return for the Sunday dinner next time.Thanks

On a delightful Sunday, we decided to visit a local restaurant renowned for its Sunday lunch offerings. The experience was nothing short of remarkable. The food, a splendid showcase of both quality and value, exceeded our expectations. Every dish served was a testament to the chef's prowess in blending traditional flavours with a modern twist, ensuring a memorable culinary journey for all.The staff at this establishment were the icing on the cake. Their friendly demeanour and swift service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. They were attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance that allowed us to savour our meal in comfort.It's rare to find a place that hits all the right notes like this one did. For anyone looking for an exceptional Sunday lunch that doesn't break the bank but delivers immensely on taste and experience, this restaurant comes highly recommended. It's a gem that undoubtedly deserves a visit, promising an experience that will linger on your taste buds and memories alike.

Went for a meal here on Friday with my mum and it was exceptional. All the staff were fantastic and incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and incredibly fairly priced for how nice it was. The menu selection was perfectly curated and I look forward to returning to try future menus. I would highly recommend it (and I rarely leave reviews for places).

We had an absolutely amazign time celebrating our colleagues retirement party at the Silversmiths recently. The staff looked after us wonderfully. Even when there was a last minute dietary requirement, the staff went out of their way to ensure everybody was catered for. I can not recommend this restaurant enough!

Mothers Day at SilversmithsFollowing my experience, I am now waiting to see Silversmiths do a second appearance on Kitchen Nightmares as every table was dissatisfied with many storming out saying they would not be returning. This place is a combination of extortionate pricing, appalling portions and terrible management.The positives:· The waitress was lovely, polite, attentive and apologetic· The plum chutney on the starter had an excellent flavour· The gravy on the main was very good· The dining area was comfortable, with appropriate lighting and music at a level that was pleasant and did not interrupt conversationThe negatives:· We left hungry despite having a 3 course meal due to abysmally small portions· The starter portion was small, half a slice of thin toasted bread and the thinnest possible slither of terrine they had been able to cut· The main the beef was all cooked to a single level of ‘doneness’, perfectly rare for myself but far too rare for other guests who had requested well done or medium· The main the roast potatoes were hard in the centre, clearly not a roasting variety and the cheapest they had been able to lay their hands on· The leeks on the main were virtually unidentifiable, cut fine and cooked to death in a white / grey coloured sauce with guests asking ‘what’s that?’· The parsnip on the main was just a quarter of a parsnip, poorly coloured but tasty· The dessert (by far the worst of the courses for appallingly small portion) could fit on a single spoon, the baklava consisted of two pieces of approximately 3cm in length, a little bit of some sort of puree and 2 cubes of Turkish delight, the sticky toffee pudding consisted of a single cube of pudding of little more than an inch, a small ball of oddly flavoured icecream, a few chocolate shards, a bit of sauce and some stray pistachios, clearly not intended for the dish but accidentally added as they’d done the baklava’s for the same table.· The manager was running round like a headless chicken dealing with complaints about the food which was quite distracting and probably should have told them something was seriously wrong with the menu. There were numerous complaints I observed covering people being unable to taste the flavours they were expecting, to portions (lots of these, even from children, there was a young boy who loudly exclaimed 'but mummy where's the rest of my pudding? I like big puddings'), the pricing of the poor portions, the level of cooking (with many being unhappy about the rare beef / pork served) and the quality of facilities (covered later).· I personally complained to the manager as I went to the toilet when we arrived only to be tipped to the floor as it was not secured to the wall / floor. I then returned just before leaving to find that the faulty toilet was still open with no out of order notice, I raised to the waitress who summoned the manager. The manager was rude, questioning why I would return to the toilet knowing it was faulty, I pointed out I had done him a favour reporting it so that it could be closed as someone less able could potentially be injured. He just muttered he hadn’t had time; personally I would think customer safety should be a priority.· Although it didn’t bother our party, they had advertised a free glass of prosecco for mum on arrival (given we were having mothers day menu) but this wasn’t even offered.· The waitress although attentive couldn’t answer basic questions about the menu and didn’t know for example that certain drinks only came in a one size (not pints / half’s)

Recently visited with a friend and ate from the February Supper Club menu. If you've not eaten here before I'd definitely recommend a visit. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and because you aren't rushed between courses it gives you chance to appreciate the food which we both thought was excellent!! The service from our waitress , who was lovely, was faultless. We'll certainly be back again soon to sample the March menu.
We love going to Silversmiths, the food, cocktails and atmosphere are all so good! Highly recommended!

Went for the Sunday lunch. First off, the restaurant was cold, probably not helped by the outside door in the stairwell being open! Ordered the prawn and tomato soup. Could barely taste the prawn or tomato by being totally overpowered by fish oil. Cold prawn on a stick dumped in the soup. Sent back pretty much the whole bowl. Still repeating on me which tastes like Grimsby docks! My partners chicken teriyaki had pink, bloody chicken in it. The main beef lunch was very lacklustre. One very thin slice of tasteless beef that wasn't particularly well cooked. I like rare beef, but this was fatty and chewy. Cauliflower cheese was burnt...that takes some doing! Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes tasted like they were frozen. Potatoes....think school dinners. Grey/brown creamed leeks were tasteless. Got to be honest, a Sunday lunch from the likes of a Vintage Inn is 10x better. Such a shame.

Lovely restaurant and great staff. Always delicious and good atmosphere.

We went for a roast which itself was really good! Lovely rare beef, perfect yorkshires and veggies.Buuut starters and puddings were a bit of a let down, small and not high quality. I got a beetroot and goats cheese tart, sadly pastry was soggy and couldn't taste any goats cheese.Atmosphere was okay but sat next to quite a rowdy table with alot of complaints which always sours things, not necessarily the restaurants fault but table was VERY close so couldnt escape it.
