Best Romantic Restaurants in Horton Kirby

Been here a few times and each time think it’s a bit disappointing. It could be a great restaurant but I think the chef or owner is trying too hard to be Gordon Ramsay or Tom Kerridge. Too few staff to handle the tables. Our young waitress was great but had too many tables to serve so we waited for drinks. Our meals came at different times and extras were forgotten. They were out of the Sirloin on the bone and suckling pig. It was only 8 O’clock so that’s poor. I ordered Fillet but I’m pretty sure it was sirloin I was given. I don’t send food back as I’m worried what will be done to my new dish so I commented and left it at that. We were given a couple of drinks so we were satisfied with that. I really wish they’d concentrate on the basics of good food without the dishes served on tiles and other nonsense. Get an extra waiter in and make sure orders are served together, without forgetting the extras ordered.

I hadn't been to Bowleys for a few months, it was so nice to come back and see the standards are still so high. The wait staff were lovely and just the right amount of attentive. A real credit to the place. The food was delicious and I thought the set menu was great value. We had 3 kids on the table, all had the fried chicken from the bar menu and it was demolished. Great meal, look forward to returning.

The waitress was lovely to us and there are many more reasons that I would recommend this place to others. It's quite a large space with excellent décor so you can actually hear each other speak. Very nice and varied selection of food and wines available and the duck salad starter was a delicious take on the classic crispy duck we're all so obsessed with. A thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying evening.
