  • "The beef in the beef bourguignon was a bit dry but it did have good flavour."
  • "Was disappointed with La Petite Auberge as I've been there before and had a better reception. I have a number of food intolerances which they catered for before. This time I had to make do with items on the menu without the products in that I can't eat."

  • "Lamb smothered in thick gravy, overcooked vegetables and overall was rather disappointing."

  • "Great Value and would certainly recommend."
  • "However 3 courses set menu 4 lunch tasty and good choices and amazing value 4 money...worth a visit."
  • "Absolute value for your money. Spoilt for choice regarding the food."

Cons:

  • "2 starters 2 mains 1 martini £70 it's on the high end of prices."
  • "Very disappointing indeed. Went for a friend's Birthday brunch. Ordered sourdough toast with avocado and poached egg because that sounds like a safe option."
