Booked for a family meal for late Sunday afternoon and were delighted that the place was decked out for Christmas - including the option of their Christmas menu, with 3 course or 2 course options - all 4 adults opted for the latter - the 3 year old went for chicken nuggets, fries and peas off the children's menu. When he saw our starters arrive to all but him, he happily joined me with the french bread I had to accompany my melted Camembert.
The service staff were helpful throughout and the Santa party hats were greatly appreciated - especially the mini version that adorned the straws on my grandson's special drink.

I actually take time to describe this as, for me, it shows the quality of this establishment. Having pulled grandson away from his current favourite cartoon, I asked the drinks waiter if he had any dragon's blood drink. Without a blink he said that he had and returned with a beautifully presented blackcurrant drink, with 2 straws crowned by a mini felt Santa hat.

All 4 adults went for different menu options for our mains: my wife had the halloumi skewers - an order that required a box to take the remainder home in; the beef, fish and my early Christmas dinner all went down a treat.

The layout of the seating was really well thought out and we loved the attention paid to a child's birthday celebration meal on the same balcony we were on.

This is an establishment where it is not just the food the owners should be proud of but the way every single member of staff was dedicated to your enjoyment of the occasion. The atmosphere was great. Certainly a place we will return to, and one I can't recommend highly enough.

The food was lovely here on Friday, however when the bill came they had automatically put a 10% service charge on. I usually tip anyway when we go out but I don't expect for it to be forced on me. I won't go again simply because my choice has been taken away

We visit The Retreat about once a week and have done for the past 3 years. I have never had a single complaint about anything, service, food, prices and friendly staff. A lot of other restaurants could learn from these guys. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and always very clean. They also don’t mention that you can take your dog in the outside eating areas. Incredible place, amazing people, highly recommended !!!!!
