The host was amazing , explaining the menu and offer us drinks before we order any food . The pork chop was tasty and filly. The desert that was recommend to us was fresh and very delicious. Will definitely come back.
Overall lunch did not meet expectations. It was 7 years since we were last here and I then posted what lovely food it was and great atmosphere, unfortunately I can’t say the same this time. The staff were welcoming but the three of us we were shown to a small table squeezed between two other larger tables, barely enough room to get in and very cosy when the staff were serving the other tables.
The bad start was made worse with one of the wine glasses having obvious lipstick marks and then the wrong size of wine carafe was served. Oh, and paper napkins in a restaurant!
The menu choice was just sufficient but for my liking was to vegetarian based however the Crab Tortelloni was very nice although my wife’s Mushroom Burger was very dry and the buns on both the mushroom burger and chicken burger too large and of poor quality. The food didn’t live up to the price.
The desserts though were both lovely.
We had a spontaneous late dinner on Good Friday. Really good food, including for our vegan guest. Great attentive service and lovely decor. Nice nibbles with our drinks too.
My Stonebass was beautifully cooked; wonderfully light and had great flavour. The mocktails (driving) were excellent but the star award goes to the Chocolate Mousse; super indulgent and thoroughly delicious.
Fantastic new refurb - loved the decor and the water feature at the far end. Staff were extremely friendly and the food arrived quickly. Would have preferred real tea to a bag in the pot but otherwise a very nice experience.
Nice interior and cocktails were fine. However, we were greeted by a hostile attitude by the staff (especially the manager) which was disappointing and unprofessional. It was our first time visiting since the reopening so understandable there would be some minor issues. I then returned for breakfast the following weekend and again was a similar poor experience.
Was slightly underwhelmed by my experience. Service was very good but the food was quite average. I will go back and give them another chance however.
We had to duck and dive through large shrubs and too many tables to reach our allotted table in the ‘conservatory’. The seating gave us a choice of facing full sun or a blank wall so we asked to be moved to another table. Unfortunately the sun moved with us and caught up with us mid lunch. The falafel burger from the limited menu was cold and mushy so I only ate half. The chips were good though and the Sicilian wine good value. The fire doors were partly obstructed by furniture. Had there been a fire, it would have been difficult to get past the furniture and shrubs to get out of the fire doors. Despite all of that, it was noisy and very busy. I hope it’s just teething problems and wish you success.
Light on the Common restaurant is the best!:)
Very charming place in a great location. Fantastic atmosphare and excellent service, very professional and helpful.
We had a great birthday lunch experience last Sunday at the Light on the Common restaurant.
Food was delicious and very well presented.
Massive thanks to the Head Chef. Crab tortellini and chicken burger were fabulous, chocolate deessert best I ever tried.
We are difinitely coming back
