Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had the fish platter one of the best plates of food, and I have been in this business over 40 years. Cod was wonderful prawns fabulous.

We visited for lunch and ordered from the fixed price menu. The food was tasty but the choices very limited - two starters and two mains to choose from and no vegetarian option. At just under £30 it was nevertheless very good value.

My experience at Light House was delightful! I went there with my best friend and we had a blast. The food was delicious, and the restaurant's wine list was truly good. The friendly and attentive staff made the visit even more enjoyable. Karmena was our...waitress and she was very sweet and kind. Lovely peaceful ambience, Light House is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!More

Enjoyed our visit here with friends. Loved the feta and Mediterranean vegetables salad, I wasn’t sure it would be a salad from the menu description but glad that it was, perfectly dressed and tasty. We all enjoyed the seared tuna tartare although I thought the...garnish was limp and overdressed but the others loved it. Cheese board was good. Fudge and truffles were so tasty we ordered a second round ;-) Cod was cooked perfectly and gone in a minute! We will be back!More

Visited for breakfast. As soon as we walked in there was a lack of good vibes - they were playing a radio station with noisy commercial adverts, we didn’t get a friendly reception, and there were dirty plates on empty tables for the majority of...our visit. The presentation of the eggs on toast was underwhelming and both portions of poached eggs ordered were undercooked with raw egg in the middle. Unfortunately it was a real let down and not a good advertisement for their evening food which looked nice online. The toilet area didn’t feel very clean/fragrant either. Wouldn’t recommend this for brunch/breakfast at all sadly, especially when they add a 13.5% service charge on top.More

Been here a few times, food is always excellent. The only thing I think they need to improve on is the lack of quality non alcoholic wines and beers , there are plenty of really high quality non. Alcoholic wines that exist now and it...is frustrating to be limited to water , coke or mocktailsMore

Visited here with family for a late Saturday lunch. The set menu was a very reasonable price and had a wonderful feta, almond and rocket salad to start and one of the best pork belly dishes I have ever tasted. Service was excellent and the...light open, contemporary decor added to a wonderful meal. Highly recommended.More

This is a superb venue for lunch. Good value, especially the set menu, and freshly cooked ingredients displaying imagination and much competence. The calf’s liver (I have had it twice recently) is outstanding. It’s a hidden (not on High St) gem.

My girlfriend and I decided to go here for Valentine's night. We ended up with 21:00 booking. The aniseed focaccia came out, and all we got were the crusts. It was our mistake that we didn't realise it was set menu only and it'd be...£65 per person - but we couldn't believe this was true! Their lunch set menu for 3 courses and a glass of champers was £35, we were getting the same for £65 . Their usual evening set menus are £30-£35. As we left, each course added together would come to £45. Anyway, we got over the price even though we felt we were being ripped off, we thought the food would make up for it. It was okay at best. Bland duck rolls; hardly any mozzarella with my beetroot The Main courses were better - but not worth the £30 we were being charged for the course. Creme brulee with a layer of what can only be described as lead on top. Probably thick enough to stop the radiation from chenoble meltdown. We were in and out in 1hr15mins. We didn't get the experience we were hoping for, especially not when we felt exploited by the price.More

An excellent venue. Although parking is difficult in Wimbledon there were lots of empty bays. The restaurant is well decorated and makes your dining experience as not bold or boring. The staff were delightful, attentive but not in your face. And then the food! Absolutely...stunning. The Tuna was probably the best we’ve had and the cod was just perfect. The client who we took to the restaurant lives in the village and it was his first time there, I suspect not the last!More

What a lovely restaurant. Three of the best courses of food I have had for a long time. Superb seared tuna, fab cod and chorizo and a stunning hot chocolate mousse to finish. All four of us loves the food, ambience and service. Just wish...I didn’t live 60 miles away!More

We have dined here many times, sometimes it’s been hit and miss but on the whole pretty good. Unfortunately our last lunch was poor. Beef was so chewy it was not good also the cabbage was cold and under cooked. My meal was changed to...pork ( that was okay but sweet potato mash swamped in gravy was awful and served again with cold under cooked greens) yuk! My husband had fish which he said was okay as were the mussels he started with but the vegetables etc were not good. To be fair they didn’t charge us for my meal, but this used to be a lovely welcoming restaurant with good food. Has it changed hands I wonder? Definitely won’t be returning.More
