Bates restaurant offers correct and good food in a nice atmosphere, but with prices that are a bit on the high side. Although some dishes did not meet expectations, such as a watery mushroom soup and a disappointing steak, others were full of flavor and freshly made. The service was friendly and accommodating, making reservations easy and the overall dining experience enjoyable. With dishes like delicious chicken curry, ribeye steak, and homemade pasta, along with a good wine list, Bates restaurant is worth a visit despite some inconsistent experiences.

We love, love, love going to the ‘new’ Bates. Nothing new about it apart from the word New because Adam has been running it for quite some time now The food never disappoints, in fact it is always More ish, . Adam is so friendly, service spot on and an amazing location for a restaurant. Friday evening’s there are two guys playing background music which is a lovely touch. If it’s a good evening, you could sit outside the restaurant which is a beautiful spot. We would highly recommend taking a visit here.

We went for a long walk in Avondale Forest and were just looking for a quick bite nearby. Man, what a gorgeous surprise! It was my son's girlfriend's birthday and we couldn't have stumbled upon better food. Creme of chicken had a lovely coconut twist. The pate was great. The starter prawns were spicy and full-flavoured. The steak was juicy, the burgers flavourful and the linguini fresh. Dessert menu was really good, everything fresh. We will definitely be back!
