My friend and I visited the restaurant on 20 September, our order was taken fairly quickly and our food arrived about 20 mins later. The food was lovely and our dishes were cleared quickly. We finished our drinks and had to wait quite a while to get our bill then a while longer to pay our bill. Fortunately we had our food before the waiting started however the couple next to us had to wait an hour for their food with nobody updating them or apologising for the delay until they complained.

I booked a table at your restaurant at 18.45 pm on Wednesday 17th of September for 6 adults and 1 child. We arrived on time and got our own drinks from the bar, the young waitress came to our table around 19.05 pm we asked if we Could order separately so to have separate bills, she said that she was new and didn’t know how to do that so we said that we would try and work it out later. She went away and returned 10 minutes later, 3 of our group requested starters so she wrote that down then went away again for a short time, anyway the starter arrived and went around 19.30pm we all sat until 20.20pm waiting for our main meal I asked what was happening with the food and was told that they were busy but by this point there was only 3 tables occupied anyway when my wife’s and my meal arrived, fish and chips the fish was only warm we wanted to return it but had already waited for over an hour for it to be served so we reluctantly ate it there was no apology’s from staff about the delay we only found out because we asked. Anyway I am writing this to say that it was one of the most abysmal outings we have experienced.

My Family arrived to a lovely smile from the waitress she was great . She showed us to our table then she handed us over to a young lady who was great as well. The atmosphere was spoiled by a table of drunk loud mouth people our Grandson was in our company and he was a bit upset with the noise. But the food was excellent and overcame any small problems the staff were lovely. You cannot count for adults behaviour. Thank your staff for great service and great food.

An excellent lunch , beautifully cooked and presented and super value for money. Service was very good too

Visited this restaurant as a group of 6. Food was excellent and all the meals were delicious. Service was great and the waitress was very attentive, friendly and efficient

Food was delicious once got it .Waited for over an hour for my food .Service was very slow indeed .Only one girl seemed to know what she was doing 3 times wrong food brought to our table.It wasn't that busy either so no Excuses .

As usual everything was lovely

Have been to The Ravelston many times. Food and staff were excellent as always, however, we had to wait quite a while for our main courses. I would definitely come back again, however, perhaps the service could do with some improvement.

From the minute we arrived the staff were very courteous ,helpful and proffessional. There were 10 in our party and from the moment we all arrived and where seated all drinks and meal orders were served as ordered .No delays between courses and food was served hot and delicious .Highly recommend the Ravelston for food and service.

Service was great food ok drinks overpriced

Hadn't been for a while as service was awful. Staff were very pleasant. Food came out quickly but we had to call a waitress over to ask for coffee. It was very busy. Food was delicious. Will be back

Food took a while to come to the table and we then had to ask for dessert menu. Otherwise food was delicious

Came for a family breakfast, bit chaotic as short of staff. The staff that were there were excellent but felt sorry for them as rushing about trying to give good service to all. Food was ok except for one order which was a breakfast roll, the food came in a burger bun, if they had said that they did not havd rolls we would have changed the order.

Had a lovely time.

Excellent meal for my birthday with my Saturday Group. Vinnie was the perfect host as always. We come to the Ravelston every Saturday because of Vinnie.
