"3 stars feels a little harsh, 3.5 would be about right I think. Overall I would say that the food was really good but perhaps not as good as I was expecting based on the price. I started with homemade breads which were served with...a small knob of herb butter. The butter was just out of the fridge and not really possible to spread. This is so frustrating as its an easy win. Just make sure the butter is soft enough to spread. I had the sausage and mash expecting something a little more than just sausage and mash' The sausages were nice and the mash was fine, but no more than that. The treacle tart was a highlight. lovely. We were sat at the end of the restaurant and I spent the evening with my back to the whole restaurant which means missing out on the atmosphere. the table could easily be turned to allow a side on aspect which I think would be better. Service was great and the staff very friendly. Will definitely go again, and I may have been more impressed with a more exciting main choice."

beautiful eating from local sources, served by attentive staff. it was quite calm and something lacking atmosphere.

We found Ben's whilst looking for a restaurant half way' for everyone, and I'm glad we did! Very pleasant atmosphere, we were one of the last tables of the night (midweek) but felt no pressure to finish/leave. The food was top notch, can't wait to...go back!!

We visited for dinner on a Saturday night and were impressed with the locally sourced food and good service. The only negative was that some of the elements of our starters were under seasoned for our taste and we felt that the starters/desserts were slightly...overpriced. The mains (venison and blade of beef) were cooked well and tasted delicious.

I had been looking at my visit to Ben’s for Sunday dinner and the starter was not disappointed, but when it came to the net, everything went to pieces! they boast that their flesh is all local, which it is likely, but that has not...to cut the lamb so fat and almost impossible through the belt. the bark looked out and cut well buy bad taste and, apart from the carrots and flower coal cheese, the veg blunt. one was the cheeseboard, very nice. someone from the staff would have had to show care if teller went back with a lot of meat uneaten. I got a voucher for Ben’s to christmas, so I will try back to the dinner menu, I hope this is a better experience.

We went to Ben's for a Sunday lunch recently and ended up sitting in the rear of the restaurant opposite the kitchen hatch not ideal. There was perhaps inevitably a smell of cooking and burnt fat which was a shame. We opted for a...black pudding and poached egg starter which was very nice and then we mixed it up with some having beef and others lamb for main course. Both were very good without being exceptional and the brioche pudding with creme anglaise was very tasty. This was perfectly good food and was excellent value. Service was very good too and we may well return to try it again sometime possibly an evening meal next time but will try and get a table at the front of the restaurant. O...

"Was excited to visit for the first time after seeing the award wins for best Mexican in the local news. Looking online the menu looked good so made a booking for 17:30 on a Thursday. On arrival we were seated quickly. The ambiance in the venue is very nice, with real lit candles on each table and twinkly lights up in the beams of the ceiling. I did need to move the candle to the side however as I couldn’t see my partner past it as it was in our eye line. The candle holder is also an old tequila bottle, which is a nice touch but takes a lot of space up on the table. On opening the menu, I noticed it was sticky. Which wasn’t the nicest. As the room is relatively dark I was unable to tell if this was old food or if they’d wiped the menu’s down, but it does make you a little wary. It took a while for the waitress assigned to our section to then come around to take our order. So we ordered drinks and our food at the same time. While waiting for the food to arrive my partner who has type one diabetes was trying to access the internet to look up carb info, unfortunately we noticed that we couldn’t get any signal so asked for the Wi-Fi code. We were brought around the password from the actual Wi-Fi router which contained password but it has been badly scratched so we couldn’t get it to work. Only a small thing to note should you need access to the internet at all during your visit. When the starters arrived I had the taquitos, pork. I have a gluten allergy and stipulated this when ordering but when the starters were brought out there was no indication on the plating that it was gluten free or any second mentioning from the waiting staff. Nether the less, they looked like corn being a yellow colour so proceeded to eat them, and I have to say they were delicious and I would have happily had a new more as a main course. The calamari my partner described as “umm, good, tasty”. Not long after we finished our starters the mains were brought out. I’m my opinion there wasn’t a big enough gap between the starter and the main. As soon as one plate was cleared, the next arrived. My partner ordered the prawn burrito and described it burrito as “Far too big, Far too cheesy, the prawns lacked something. Because it was so cheesy it was quite fatty and greasy and needed something to cut through it all.” He only ate half of it and on clearing the plates away we were offered to take it home but we declined, we made a point on the large portion and the waiter said “yeah, we feed a lot of Americans here”. My dads American and he wouldn’t have eaten the whole burrito. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The steak was cooked nicely but I found it quite tough. The chicken was over cooked and a little dry. However again the portion size was huge and I was unable to eat it all. There was also not enough room on the table for all of the bits, so I had to rest the foiled wraps on my leg. Again I ordered a gluten free option but there was no mention of this when it arrived and this time the wraps were a lighter whiter colour, which caused me concern. In the end I didn’t eat the wraps because they were the same colour as the burrito wrap and as no indication they were gluten free it caused me some anxiety. Getting attention if the waiting staff to double check was difficult so I just left them to the side and ate the meat veg on their own. The couple wraps I did eat I have to say we’re not the nicest. They were quite tough and at the same time tasted undercooked, like there was some raw taste to them. I wouldn’t order it again. Drink wise I ordered the pina colada and again probably wouldn’t order it again. Though there was nothing overly wrong with it, I’ve just had better. Overall, it was just over £60 for two starters, two mains and two alcoholic drinks. I don’t think that’s particularly bad value given the absolute huge portion sizes. It might be worth Amigos offering a small medium large option at different price points so those who don’t want giant burritos fajitas can get the smaller options at a lower value. Amigos might also end up taking more as there was no chance we’d have been able to eat a desert, however if the main had been more appropriately portioned then we likely would have had one. However, in terms of the allergens. It’s great that they offer gluten free alternatives, however please introduce a GF sticker for the plates or get waiting staff to say “Gluten free Fajitas” when serving. It just helps to eliminate any fear that there may have been a mistake in the kitchen and helps diners with allergies to relax and feel more comfortable. As things stand. We wouldn’t return for what we had above. However, there was a good atmosphere in there and I’d possibly return as a place to have a few drinks and share some nachos, just not for a sit down meal."
