Best Restaurants for Groups in Alveston

We had a delicious Sunday Roast - strip loin of beef for me and lamb for my husband. Generous portions, range of vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and roasties. ( Roasties were the only MINOR letdown - so difficult to provide crispy roasties in a busy restaurant on a Sunday; these were crisp but clearly reheated) Dessert - we really didn’t have room but it would have been rude not to! Equally yummy. Service was attentive without being overbearing. If we lived nearer we’d certainly revisit.

Wonderful Sunday lunch today. Wish I had booked last night too. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were all very amenable and efficient. All of them were excellent which is a good sign. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Kate looked after us really well, a pre-theatre booking meant that they provided wonderful food in plenty of time to get to our seats. We shared a selection of breads, foccaccia and aranchini. The wine (sauvignon blanc Petal&Stem) was lovely and the chicken Milanese burger and tiramisu were delicious. Thank you!

We decided to stick with the set menu/ pre theatre however lots of tempting sounding options on main and specials board...succulent and tender venison in the bourginion...mum enjoyed the bream...lots of lobster sauce...more of a bisque. We tried the hazelnut parfait as something different and this was light enough to not sit too heavily during our theatre visit and rounded off the meal beautifully. Wines served at correct temperatures etc. All in all....Great ambience. Efficient and relaxed/ not rushed. Service polite and welcoming. Just what a bistro should be. Will def return if back in the area.

As always the Vintner does not disappoint. Friendly staff good food nice ambiance. This time an excellent starter of pear carpaccio with toasted almonds, honey dressing and whipped goats cheese… delicious and imaginative. Followed by a nice risotto.
