Birmingham
This was an amazing tour. It was our first time and we enjoyed having the freedom of no guide and on our own timescales.
Birmingham
The wide range of flavors was perfect. Each restaurant we visited had its unique charm, and the warm welcome from the staff made the day even more enjoyable. I discovered so many new restaurants! I can't wait to return.
Bristol
Very nice to do on a Sunday afternoon. Nice to get to know new restaurants. All participants did their very best to serve us delicious dishes. All dishes were tasty and particularly innovative.
Bristol
I didn't really know what to expect as there were not many reviews out there when I booked but it was great fun. I visited parts of Bristol and restaurants that were previously unknown to me. The venues were great, as was the food. We felt very welcome and great effort had been made to provide us with interesting and tasty food and drink. Food was so plentiful that we took the last meal home in a doggie bag because we were stuffed and didn't want to waste it
Nottingham
Concept is brilliant, allowing participants to visit 6 restaurants in the city. My friend and I attended and thoroughly enjoyed our home town Nottingham. The food was plentiful accompanied by a drink at each restaurant. Good value for money - recommend this to couples, families and friends. Make that special occasion more memorable. Our visit included Vi-Va, Delilah, Peter Pizzeria, Coco Tangs, Baresca and Bohens (in that order).

We had a great day. Every restaurant was very friendly and very well organised. Just trying a sample of their delicious meals is enough to make us want to visit them again. The variety in the dishes was brilliant, from Indian tapas, sliders, Spanish, Vietnamese, pizza and cheese & crackers, we had it all, together with the lovely drink accompaniments. Would highly recommend to anyone, great value for money.

All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
