Carriages Wine Bar

Just had the best Sunday lunch here! I have always been disappointed if eating out for Sunday lunch, and end up wish I'd made my own, until today! Really fresh, served hot, lovely taste gravey, it was delicious 😋 only down side, I was too full for dessert! I had the vegetarian option (butternut squash and beetroot Wellington) and husband had the farm yard (pork, beef and chicken). Would definitely recommend.

Nice little spot with staff who are very helpful. We went with a big party and think we pushed them to their limits with the amount of servings they could do at once. But they did well and the food came out in a decent amount of time. It seemed to be all freshly prepared and tasted really good. The veggies were a little different with nice sweet carrots and parsnips. The cut of pork was different to what you often get and one I much preferred, possibly belly with some great flavour. One pork was a bit dry but others were good. We sat out the back which was a nice area that had the train station over the back so the kids got very excited every time a train pulled up which was nice. The dogs enjoyed themselves as well. All in all a very nice experience.

That was probably the best meal I had in the area, service is great and friendly, food was absolutely gorgeous from A to Z, can’t fault anything. Had 2 starters : chorizo and arancini 10/10 2 sandwiches : chicken and steak 10/10, salad dressing gorgeous, fries great and sandwiches perfect. Can’t fault it. Good wine by the glass It’s perfect with a perfect outside area with a good view, I’ll be back soon.

Me and my daughter went to have some food here. I scoped it out by pictures on Google before we went. I do that because how else I'll know what to order. I had a good wage coming in this month so I thought to go and treat our selves. Staff was very nice and we took the seats outside right over the trainline. Wish there hadn't been a strike. Would have been a cool view at the trains going underneath. Food was great. I was jealous of my daughters burger. It was amazing. Chips vere out of this world. We had to leave earlier than I wanted because of wasps.. But there is nothing that staff could have done about it. Oh and the portions are very well sized. I eat a lot and I wasn't disappointed at all at mine or hers. Definitely would come back again.

We've been to Carriages quite a few times in the past, but this was our first time at The Bear at Carriages after its renovation. It's a lovely bar and restaurant and they now have a fantastic outdoor seating area with covers and heaters, and an outdoor grill. The staff were great and service was good. The passion fruit martinis were delicious! The food was really good too. I had the seafood chowder which had large prawns and lots of fish. It was creamy and filling. The rest of our table had broccoli tempura, karaage chicken, and a couple of the specials of the day. The desserts we tried (sticky toffee pudding and chocolate tart) were really tasty too. I'd absolutely recommend trying this place.
