Did not open Saturday, no notice no note on the door, just not open! Not good enough when we supported them through the pandemic. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Don't waste your time at this restaurant. It used to be decent a few years ago, but my recent experience was terrible. The food was bland, not accurately described, and clearly stretched to save money. I won't be going back again. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

I don't go to this restaurant often, but whenever I have gotten takeout from here, I have always been impressed by the delicious food, friendly staff, quick service, and reasonable prices. I will definitely be coming back on my future trips to Goring.

We would not have dined at this restaurant if we had known about its one-star food hygiene rating. Of the six people in our group, one course arrived frozen and three mains were served 35 minutes after everyone had finished their meals. We witnessed all the food being reheated in the microwave. After reading reviews indicating that the restaurant had almost been shut down in 2009 and had received a one-star rating in February 2018, I informed the owner that I would not be paying the full bill. The service was terrible and the food was awful. This establishment should be closed down.
