Just do yourselves a favour and try this outstanding restaurant and bar !Just do it!

We are lucky to be able to walk over beautiful Clent to this restaurant and enjoy a drink outside before we eat. My husband likes their madras curry as it is a "proper" one. Staff are welcoming. Would prefer to take our own wine though.

Fantastic food , staff very friendly and attentive. Value for money... would recommend a visit.. Will certainly visit again.

We called in for coffee and desserts - very attractive and welcoming. BUT we were shown to a dirty table and no attempt was made to clean it. When the food arrived and was put on the same dirty table I was surprised to have to ask the waitress to clean it! Apart from that it was nice..

Having been to the Malt Shovel in the past we enjoyed the food so I booked for my birthday with my wife and arrived at 12.15 to find the door locked. After knocking on the door without success we tried again, this brought a response of "hold on I'm coming," the door was opened by a waitress and when I stood aside to let my wife,"are you coming in or not?" Having established we had booked in advance we were given a table in the corner although only one table was occupied. We asked for another table and ordered two gin and tonics.There were 3 waiters and 1 waitress, no attempt was made to bring our drinks and after 13 to 14 minutes we got up and walked out. We shall not be returning.

This place is fantastic. Frank the owner makes everyone feel welcome and service is very good, the food is excellent and prices very cheap and the hygiene levels are outstanding. other cafes take note. A 5-star cafe.

My boyfriend went over the Ruby to get some food, we endend up having chicken balls and chips about half 10 this was. There was alot of food and it looked ok and tasted fine, three hours later we both was throwing up! Will never eat from there again! Obviosly the food werent cooked right...absolutely disgusted!

The food was amazing ! Delicious - wonderful service.

The food in the vine has gone downhill, meals were not up to standards of what it should be. I was disgusted, it was a complete waste of money.

Food is excellent but the service is rubbish, waiters are very rude and slow.
