    Lighting was too dim to read menu, and writing too small and faint Staff were very friendly and attentive Food was very good and well presented Service good and unobtrusive Only minor complaint was salt on the olives. Not good for a low salt diet We had a lovely evening and will certainly return and recommend

    We booked Hispi because it had a great gluten free menu and separate fryers to avoid cross contamination and I phoned the restaurant before hand to confirm that this would be needed as my husband was coeliac. Disappointed that when we arrived the waitress was unaware of this and the separate fryer was not available so my husband couldn’t have the truffle chips with his steak, no other alternative carbohydrate side was available other than a very tiny portion of mash which was not satisfactory at all and my husband was still hungry. The top reasons for booking Hispi was that online that it looked very good for catering for people that have gluten intolerance.

    Wonderful food, as always. Excellent service, as always. One of my guests told me afterwards that she had been troubled when overhearing some bigoted conversation at a neighbouring table. In no way was this Hispi's fault, of course, but it was a great shame, as it knocked the edge off her otherwise great enjoyment of the meal.

    Thank you, Hispi, for another great meal. Love the new Bistro menu - the pan-fried Coley was absolutely perfect and my partner pronounced his pork main equally delicious. We went for the recommended wine pairings which were spot on (I didn't consider myself a fan of Riesling before, but do now!). Our waitress was excellent and the whole experience, as always, was a real treat. This is several cuts above the standard fare served up in high street restaurants which is why Hispi has become our favourite restaurant.

    From start to finish, the tasting menu with matching wines, was a wonderful culinary experience. Each dish was presented with a subtle flair and the accompanying wines were perfectly matched to each course. The front of house staff were knowledgeable and took time to explain the ingredients of each course in a pleasant and informed way. We would certainly recommend HISPI to friends and family for that special evening out.

    The food was very nice as always and the service was very good, the staff are very friendly and helpful, I took my wife out for our anniversary and we ordered off the Bistro menu, the food was very nice but we were both a bit disappointed that the mackerel starter which we have had before only came with one tiny piece of fish unlike the last time we had it when it was served with two.

    This was the sixth time I've eaten here, and the first time I've not been blown away by the food, I had the chicken, little tough and dry in places. My wife had the cabbage and said it was excellent, I will recommend to friends but based on previous visits.
