Been numerous times and still the best restaurant around. We go to lots of fine dining and Eric and Beb produce food as good as Michelin star places any day and lots cheaper. See you soon

Dear Caterer Thank you so much for another great review and super compliments, we don't actually try to compare our selves to Michelin starred restaurants we feel customers end up paying for the staffing costs etc in order to maintain the necessary levels to be considered ,our aim is at the Michelin Bib Gourmand level which is awarded to restaurants...

It’s difficult to know quite where to start – it is perhaps one of those superb restaurants that you’ll never forget. Don’t be confused by the signs for a Tapas bar: enter Restaurant Severn via its side-door. You’ll almost certainly have to book: space in limited and its reputation has clearly spread far. The menu offers a wide range of... More

My husband and I visited this restaurant last night for the first time and was bold over by the excellent standard of food.

Read the reviews and popped in to see if they had a table, it was gourmet night, 5 courses with champers, a bargain. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I just wish I lived nearby :-( we will be back

Visited with my wife whilst visiting the area. She's fond of scallops and has them often when we're out, the ones here get her seal of approval. I had the black pudding which I've not tried before as a starter and that worked very well. The mains were also top quality, cod loin and duck. The fish was superb. Unusually... More
