Reviews

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday, brilliant food and service, would highly recommend. I had grilled chicken with a pesto sauce, wild rice, apple and edamame beans, followed by an amazing strawberry cheesecake. My husband had the hake with beetroot purée and also some of the cheesecake! Looking forward to coming back another time!Food: 5/5

The host was amazing , explaining the menu and offer us drinks before we order any food . The pork chop was tasty and filly.  The desert that was recommend to us was fresh and very delicious. Will definitely come back.Food: 5/5

Decor and good service let down by the food. We ordered breakfast and the quality wasn’t great. The sourdough was a bit tough maybe old? and the feta tomato bake lacked flavour, not even being able to taste the feta. Price was about par for places like this but felt like the food fell short of where it should be.Food: 2/5

No matter if I have visited for a breakfast, lunch or even just to have a coffee I am always treated very well by the kind and attentive staff. The food is better than a run of mill chain and the interior decoration and light is great. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Dear Management,  I recently visited your restaurant with great anticipation. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed by the rude behavior of the person at the entrance. This individual told us, quite discourteously, that we would not be served and that we needed to leave.  Our intention in visiting your restaurant was to enjoy a pleasant dining experience. However, this negative encounter was completely contrary to our expectations. We hope that this behavior does not reflect the general service philosophy of your establishment.  We believe that such an unpleasant experience could tarnish the reputation of your restaurant and result in the loss of potential customers. We kindly request that you take the necessary measures to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future.  Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your response regarding this matter.  Sincerely,

I came for lunch today with my dad, the food was exceptional quality - and the prices are very fair. The service was attentive and caring, we thoroughly enjoyed everything from start to finish. A special thanks to our waitress Emilia.Food: 5/5

Overall lunch did not meet expectations.  It was 7 years since we were last here and I then posted what lovely food it was and great atmosphere, unfortunately I can’t say the same this time.  The staff were welcoming but the three of us we were shown to a small table squeezed between two other larger tables, barely enough room to get in and very cosy when the staff were serving the other tables.  The bad start was made worse with one of the wine glasses having obvious lipstick marks and then the wrong size of wine carafe was served. Oh, and paper napkins in a restaurant!  The menu choice was just sufficient but for my liking was to vegetarian based however the Crab Tortelloni was very nice although my wife’s Mushroom Burger was very dry and the buns on both the mushroom burger and chicken burger too large and of poor quality.  The food didn’t live up to the price.  The desserts though were both lovely.

We had a spontaneous late dinner on Good Friday. Really good food, including for our vegan guest. Great attentive service and lovely decor. Nice nibbles with our drinks too.  My Stonebass was beautifully cooked; wonderfully light and had great flavour. The mocktails driving were excellent but the star award goes to the Chocolate Mousse; super indulgent and thoroughly delicious.  Parking: For a bank holiday and after 8.30pm we had no trouble. During normal weekdays and weekends not BH, there are plenty of options near the common and local side roads but may requirement payment and time slots.

Nice interior and cocktails were fine. However, we were greeted by a hostile attitude by the staff especially the manager which was disappointing and unprofessional. It was our first time visiting since the reopening so understandable there would be some minor issues. I then returned for breakfast the following weekend and again was a similar poor experience.

Light on the Common restaurant is the best!: Very charming place in a great location.  Fantastic atmosphare and excellent service, very professional and helpful. We had a great birthday lunch experience last Sunday at the Light on the Common restaurant. Food was delicious and very well presented. Massive thanks to the Head Chef. Crab tortellini and chicken burger were fabulous, chocolate deessert best I ever tried. We are difinitely coming back
