    Highly recommended! The whole experience was fantastic, from the moment we were taken to our seats, the service was excellent. We had the tasting menu, seven courses of the most delicious food. Each course delivered by the chef who cooked it. They each explained what it was & how it had been created. It was so difficult to choose a favourite. We will definitely be back!

    We had very attentive staff, who check how we were enjoying our meal as the various plates we presented to the table. Very interesting menu and most enjoyable experience. Lovely cocktail too.

    An excellent visit to Ember today. I took my Mum for a birthday / Mother's day treat & as always, the experience was exceptional. Charlie seated us & explained to my Mum (who was there for the first time) how the menu & wine paring would play out. Every course was delicious, the quality & care taken were superb. Charlie explained each wine, with enthusiasm, professionalism & he was friendly & happy to chat to us about our dogs. He's a real asset to the team, it was a pleasure to meet you Charlie. It was good to chat to Hannah & the team. Thank you Ember for making the experience wonderful for my 78 year old Mum & I

    We had a fantastic lunch with a very delicious tasting menu for potential new dishes. The food was expertly cooked and very tasty. I ate a wonderful salmon tartare which was incredible and I really don't like salmon. The dishes cooked over the open flame still retained their own flavours without smoke overkill. Desserts were delicious. We need to go back to eat from the main menu as it all sounds so good!

    Very tasty mixture of small plates at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly. The only downside is it was quite chilly near the door (on a very cold evening).

    Such a lovely welcome, the door was held open when we arrived before we even got close to the entrance. Equally when my partner went outside to settle our baby, again the door was held open when he was ready to come back in. The preempting and attentiveness was spot on, a great touch. Loved the food and the atmosphere. Service was lovely, staff really accommodating with us having small children. Great to see previous feedback by another customer had been taken onboard about it being chilly by the door and a powerful heater was in situ. We can’t wait to come back as a couple for a date night minus the baby for the taster menu. Thank you

    We came back to celebrate my 70th birthday. The taster menu was fantastic. Wonderful flavours. The service was attentive without being overfussy. We'll be back again before too long.

    A delicious and unique experience when sat on the high top seating for locals to Rushden and Wellingborough. The food has been consistently excellent, and the staff incredibly attentive. Looking forward to my next visit already!
