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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Needed a hallway location for a meeting and this fit the bill plus decent reviews. We it delivered. Start with staff who were efficient, gracious and engaging. Our appetizers were fresh and delicious. Entrees amply portioned and tasty. The desserts just topped it off. OK...it’s out of the way but even in a wet/snowy evening it delivered.More

My friend and I just called in for a drink late on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by a friendly Barmaid ( who had a pleasant personality which meant you could share conversation with her ). The menu looked so tempting I just had...to order the Sea Bass from the specials section of the menu. This was properly freshly prepared ( not microwaved ) and with the very tasteful vegetables was superb, best I had tasted in years . 10/10More

Reading previous reviews we felt confident that Sunday Lunch for 8 of us including a child and teenagers at The Oliver Twist was the place to be especially as it was also quite local.A bonus during winter months. Staff acknowledged and engaged with us immediately...on arrival, menu’s were distributed and drinks orders taken by friendly and attentive staff. Some of the starters were disappointing including the crab cake, the sauce accompanying the scotch egg, and the bread served with balsamic vinegar / oil although the mushrooms on toast were very much enjoyed. The mains arrived and there was, in fairness, plenty of food presented. No one was going to leave the restaurant hungry. The breast of chicken was very moist and tender but the beef and pork were over cooked and dry. There was a plentiful selection of vegetables and crispy Yorkshire puddings but, sad to say, we’ve had better roasties. The saving grace were the desserts including the Eton Mess with raspberries, sticky toffee pudding and the apple pie. The panna cotta and doughnuts would have also received a thumbs up had it not been such a small portion! That diner was very disappointed! We are hoping it was an ‘off day’ for the chef and, that if we returned for a meal during the week, we would be pleasantly surprised. Do we give it another chance? ps We did report a very slippery floor after one of our party who was using crutches and another wearing high heels nearly lost their balance. By the time we had paid the bill and were leaving (about 25 minutes) it had not been attended to. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere was pleasant. Could do better The Oliver Twist although our hound was very grateful for his doggy bag!More
