We went for a meal on the bank holiday,atmosphere was lovely also staff very friendly and attentive. But had I of paid full price I would of been disappointed. My husband's steak came and it was quite a small portion which was disappointing. Also I had the sticky toffee pudding which again was more of a childs portion .so even though what we had was nice it wasn't great value for money for what we paid

Lovely food and great service

We visited on monday the last day of the EOHO scheme (which was also bank holiday) and it was my 3rd visit, my in laws first in many years. I have to say that sitting inside was great just as nice as outside. The food we had was amazing as always, my in laws snd I all throughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be back. One of my favourite places to eat now. Ian and his staff are great, so friendly and helpful and always make you feel at ease even when you're not a "local". Looking forward to returning. Kind regards Many thanks Tracy

Well what can I say about the Cedars The staff are great always smiling the decor is a little tired but lovely and clean And we'll the food is absolutely great would recommend this place if your a big steak person or even just a meal with some family or just friends

A great place good food & friendly welcoming staff Had a wonderful time & will visit again

We came and had two meals at the man at arm’s the experience we lovely the staff was so helpful and the meal was lovely

My families 1st visit to Cheikhos (6 people). We had a great time, the food tasted great and was authentic Italian food. The service was excellent, we will definitely be visiting again.

Great as always , food and service was great , Covid guidelines followed by staff all the time , was not crammed in and good flow of air, we felt safe and confident to eat in the restaurant and order at the bar. Great job

Fantastic as usual! My favourite place!

Visited for Sunday lunch. The welcome was very friendly, the food was absolutely excellent, we could not fault a thing. We have booked in again for Wednesday this week. Because of lockdown this was our first visit for quite some time. The previous excellent standards have not dropped and the value for money is still first class - thank you very much.

We (four adults) visited The Cedars on Friday evening , 28th August and were very pleased with every aspect of the occasion - the food was very good , there is a good selection of beers - all very keenly priced. The staff were very helpful and attentive as always. In all it was a very nice evening , felt quite safe , and was excellent value for money. We'll certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you

Amazing food amazing service would recommend this place to anyone

We booked a meal on line for Saturday night when we arrived greeted at the door all Covid 19 in place meal was fantastic chips too hot to eat steak cooked to perfection as always staff were very happy all organised well finished off with my usual americarno which the manager brought to me excellent night

Lovely front of house service, friendly and helpful staff. Portion sizes were plenty and everyone thought their meal was nice.

With everything that is going on with covid the staff where amazing and the food was worth the money we didn't have to wait long for food

The food was good except one of the steaks was well over done and when this was mentioned to the waitress the response of "what can i do about it?" Wasn't exactly brilliant. Other than that it was good

Looking at the latest reviews, I think maybe me and my partner just caught them on a bad day? We used to dine here over 10 years ago and the food went down hill as the prices went up so we stopped. We were told by a friend that this place was great again so we thought we’d give it a go. Staff were lovely, there was a bit of an issue with wasps this particular day but the manager saw the funny side of my irrational fear and let me change tables 3 times to get away. I ordered chicken and rib combo and the other half got the Mighty Man mixed grill. As soon as my meal was placed on the table I instantly saw the breast had been cooked to within an inch of its life and was like a rock. I ‘sawed’ into it but couldn’t eat it. The Pork belly bites were like rubber bullets (although a couple were fine). I have to say though, the ribs were DELICIOUS and the meat fell off the bone. I basically ate the ribs and 4 pork belly bites and left the rest (the chips weren’t great either so I didn’t eat them. My other half’s mixed grill wasn't great either. The onion rings were soggy, the liver was like show leather and the steak was chewy. My other half said the lamb chop was ok but the sausage had a ‘sour’ taste. The glasses were really dirty well, I say dirty I think they just weren’t rinsed properly as they were streaky and ‘milky’ looking (usually lime scale does this - I worked for a glass washing company so I’m a bit of a nerd with such things lol). The decor needs an update, the same chairs are still in use from when we were last there many years ago and it shows as the padding is worn and uncomfortable. I spoke to the manager on the way out and told him our food was on the table if he wanted to have a look. He explained it was the Chefs last day and perhaps he was a bit slap dash.. I definitely would not have let that chicken leave the kitchen. He offered us a drink or dessert but we declined his offer and reiterated to him how lovely they (him and the staff) were and how delicious the ribs were. I think the place just needs a bit of TLC I don’t think we’ll go back again, well not while the wasps have taken up residence anyway lol Lovely staff, poor food... sorry

Had a 32oz T bone steak. Cooked very well, pink in the middle, thick and tasty. Chips were lovely too. Quite a simple meal - just as I wanted it. Have eaten here numerous times, always fantastic.
