Fantastic evening. Super friendly staff, lovely setting and atmosphere. Food was terrific - especially the desserts. So tasty, quality ingredients and excellent combinations of flavours. Lovely surprise to get an extra wee treat as we were there for a birthday celebration and the main host was really welcoming, knowledgeable and happy to help with anything. We will definitely be back

The service was horrendous. We were left for ages before they took our order. Our food took ages to come between courses. It was cold in the restaurant and this made my food go cold quickly. No one checked on us to see if everything was ok. Literally the worst experience I’ve had in a restaurant. The food was nice but not worth the price or the hefty service charge.
I had booked this quite a while before we came, checked the website and there was no information about this date. Then I checked the website to find out there was a 3 course set menu in place and we had to have it with no other choice. If I had known I would have cancelled but I wasn’t told and I didn’t realise until it was too late.
Would never recommend this restaurant, avoid!

We came here today to celebrate our son’s 21st birthday and we were so pleased with the whole experience. We were in the smaller of the 2 private rooms. It was lovely to be able to chat and hear each other. Terry was really helpful & helped us with decorating the room. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. We took the whole 2 & 3/4 hours which meant we could take our time and enjoy each course
I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much

Asked to change the potatoes that came with the main and had to order a side. When your paying £35 a main and then having to pay extra for the some potato? Over priced overall

Another lovely meal all 3 courses were amazing particularly the pork belly which was the best we’ve ever tasted. They also did a lovely plate with 3 sweets on it for my other half’s birthday which were all home made and so tasty. It is such a relaxed atmosphere here that it’s a real pleasure to eat here. Their Sunday roasts are the best!!! It is now our favourite restaurant to go to and we’ll be back very soon!!!

I would recommend St Leonards to everyone, we’ve eaten there on a Sunday before and really enjoyed the food and service. This time we used the private dining for a celebratory birthday meal with the family and its was amazing!
The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic, enjoyed by us all.
Thanks to Terry and the team
