Our lunch at Lumiere was a great experience. We had the four course lunch. The canapés were delicious and artistic. We had a sea bass starter, venison main and damson souffle. Each course was superb and meticulously presented. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We will definitely return.

The chef produced some delicious morsels and they were tiny morsels. The six course menu produced plates of scarcely a mouthful. Both of us felt hungry at the end of the meal. The food and the wines were expensive. Food £115 for six course menu & average price for wines around £70. We felt overpriced. We wouldn’t eat there again.

As ever a great evening. Scallops and duck dishes are real stand-outs amongst a well designed tasting menu. Service is attentive, personal and very professional. The best fine fining restaurant to our mind in the Midlands and South West.

Delicious dishes with interesting variety of wines, wine paring was perfect!! My daughter very much enjoyed soft drink paring. I felt the chef’s passion. Staff successfully told us about it. They were kind and professional. I can say Lumiére is much much better than the two stars restaurant in London, honestly.
