We eat there quite a lot and they always take time to have a chat even if the place is rammed. The food is so nice!

The sauces were delightful and the rice was lovely and fluffy. This would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the slightly odd service. Yes, the food was served very quickly, but the entire attitude of the staff was seriously lacking in warmth. We distinctly got the feeling that they wanted us in and out of there as soon as possible. There was also a bit of lack of understanding about a dietary concern of mine. I can't have onions as they make me quite unwell. I'm under strict instructions by my doctor not to eat them, so I asked the server if I could have a dish without onions. He informed me that every single dish had onions. That's fine, but could I please have one without them? Seeing as the food is cooked fresh, I didn't really see what the issue was, so I just ended up giving in and ordered a dish and painstakingly picked the onions out. Aside from that, this place is definitely worth a visit.

I visited the restaurant on Sunday for the first time and it was a blissfully hot, sunny day. There was plenty on offer on the main menu, but I opted for a meal from the two course 'Lunch Special'. I chose the vegetable spring rolls with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, followed by stir fried pork with ginger and mushrooms, washed down by a nice Italian red. The potions were not huge - but perfectly adequate and very yummy! At another table there was a rather irritating customer haranguing the staff about the slow service. However, it was Sunday, the hottest day of the year - and the staff in every restaurant in the block (of which there are several) had just had to cope with a total power failure that had lasted about an hour... Fortunately, the rude man and his partner got up and left, leaving me to enjoy my speedily served lunch in peace. And with two courses plus a small glass of wine (or soft drink) for just £12.95 what's not to like?! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The restaurant is half dining and half open kitchen layout where you can see very close of their mastery and process of preparing the food. We did the 6 course tasting menu and it was very beautiful to see and interesting to taste. Honestly though the food itself- the beginning 4 course (even the assorted bread plate) was too salty for me. While the visual beauty and vast texture was there, the saltiness really took away from the opportunity to taste the actually flavors of the ingredients I still give 4 stars for the service and presentation and what could have been a more delicious meal without saltiness. & also with accommodating /amazing flexibility with people who have allergies or dietery restrictions.

The hotel is located a few miles off the A23 and it's quite an exciting drive through country lanes to reach there (well, I don't have a red sports car!) The exterior and reception area immediately transport you back to an era of Edwardian/Victorian country house elegance with high ceilings, dark wood, plush furniture and furnishings. As we were a bit early, we had a drink in the lounge, which had the perfect comfortable pampering surroundings to sit and catch up Reluctant to spend £8.50 on non alcoholic cocktails, we were impressed by their range of unusual fruit juices and enjoyed fresh, fruity strawberry and pear juices. At the appointed time, we were led to our table and as mentioned in her review, Gemma and I were both stunned when we stepped through the door into The Pass. The restaurant menu does describe dinner at The Pass as a 'dramatic dining experience' and I can assure you that it is no empty boast! For those of you who want to experience that same impact that we experience should not read the next 3 paragraphs of my review as they will contain spoilers Being foodies, we should perhaps have been forewarned by the name of the restaurant - for those of you who don't know, the pass is the part of the kitchen where all elements of the dishes are brought up and plated by the main chef. Basically, they have created the most amazing dining room I've seen because it's not just like being at the chef's table but in fact being right in the heart of the kitchen where you can see everything happening and in case you can't, there are TVs on the walls showing you different areas of the kitchen at work. If you're interested in how kitchens function, this is heaven! Everything is sleek, modern and shiny with bright lights (great for photographing food!) in contrast to the rest of the hotel. The hotel website certainly doesn't sell the dining area as much as it could They offer 5,6, and 8 course tasting menus. Obviously, Gemma had to force me to have 8 courses (not!) 1. Canapes Parsnip crisps, breadsticks, truffle dip & cheese puffs were a good munch while we looked at the menu 2. Amuse bouche Array of pumpkin - caramelised pumpkin covered by pumpkin soup topped with pumpkin crumble. Nice start to the meal 3. Salad of beetroot with poached egg The beetroot was turned into so many textures - crisp, ice cream, soil to cover the egg amongst others. I'm still intrigued how they cooked the yolk so precisely 4. Crab tortellini with smoked sweetcorn & mushroom The tortellini was fried and packed with lovely fresh sweet white crabmeat. I was glad the accompaniments didn't overpower the crab 5. Pressed pork with pickled apples, hazelnuts & goat's cheese Nice flavours but the pork was a little dry. Nothing a little sauce wouldn't have fixed 6. Scallops in crushed chickpeas, licorice puree & pickled pear Interesting combo. Scallops cooked perfectly & went well with unusual partners 7. Onion preparations with herb crust & goat's cheese Humble onion given new life! 8. Fillet of beef, mustard gnocchi, red cabbage & cauliflower cheese puree The melt in the mouth sous vided beef has made my mind up to buy my own sous vide water bath. Stunning and my favourite dish! 9. Fennel brulee, lemon curd, raspberry sorbet Lovely creamy just set custard topped with delicate disc of sugar. It was hard to defnitely identify the fennel but the star was a great sorbet 10. Rice parfait, chocolate ganache, raspberry gel, marzipan & basil ice cream Each element was prepared well but I wasn't sure which was the best combination. Surprise of popping candy! It was a fantastic meal of different flavour combinations, all expertly plated up Service was top notch & friendly and when we were told to feel free to pop up to the pass at any time, we didn't need a second invitation! Matt Gillan, the head chef, was wonderfully modest about his star (he was busy scrubbing the stove when we visited - leading from the front!) He really took time to indulge the food geek in both Gemma & me and trust me when I say that we covered all topics from his favourite kitchen toys to other Sussex eateries to his cookery CV. He also had time for a picture & to sign Gemma's menu Now, I wonder if he was serious in his talk about Guildford lacking a top class restaurant & my suggesting that he fill that void....

In honesty, I echo the sentiments of questioning the unlucky experience of Ross. Every time that I…read morehave ordered form Swallow House I've had no complaints. The menu is a bit of an eclectic mix of Oriental cuisine and prices are about what you would expect from a takeaway. Usually, I order as I pass the shop so couldn't comment on the speed of a telephone delivery order. The staff are always friendly when you are in the shop and it doesn't take too long to wait for your food. They do serve up a very good salt and chilli squid and this dish is probably what keeps me returning. A lot of the bean curd dishes are also quite nice and as a vegetarian for most of my visits here, I never felt like I was getting fobbed off with after thought dishes. There are better Chinese takeaways in the city for sure, but there are also far worse.

This is a new restaurant that describes itself as being New York Italian. It's opened up in an area…read morethat is dominated with fairly average Italian restaurants and really had an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately it hasn't really done so. The restaurant is spacious and well decorated, and the staff were welcoming on arrival. The menu consists of main meals, pasta, pizza, breakfasts and light bites. Neither my boyfriend or I wanted a massive meal so plumped for something from the light bites section. He went for the steak and red onion panini and I went for the breaded chicken, mozzarella and rocket panini, both were served with chips. The food was presented well and the portions large. Unfortunately, it was let down on taste. My chicken was unbreaded and the entire filling was pretty tasteless. The steak was nice but over powered by the red onion. The chips tasted like the frier oil needed replacing. My tea was fine (can't really go wrong with a teabag!), but they brought hot milk, and my boyfriend's Americano was minuscule. Once the food was delivered, nobody came to check if everything was ok, and when our plates were cleared and I mentioned the lack of breaded chicken, my comment was barely even acknowledged. With a large choice of similar restaurants in the area, we probably won't be rushing back.

My friend and I visited midweek and it wasn't hugely busy but I had high hopes for the food. There were a few things on the menu that were unavailable which was ok.. not the end of the world! I ordered the halloumi to start which came drizzled with honey - Halloumi = Yes but not with honey. Eeeek! For main, I had the chicken and mushroom risotto which was very nice and me and my friend had some Sex On The Beach cocktails between us. I liked the risotto, but the chicken seemed slightly undercooked. The prices are average but for the price of the food, I would like to visit again as I don't want one rubbish experience to cloud my judgement!

The deal stretches to a few 12" pizzas, which is impressive, and looks equally delicious. My meal was prepared and brought over promptly, and I was offered a generous dousing of black pepper and parmasan which I accepted eagerly. For £3, I was damn impressed by the quality, and I got a strong impression that heading by in the evening and paying full price would turn out even better results. The right balance of oil and garnish made for a memorable meal. Zafferelli is also a great place due to its high quality finish, with menus, chairs and even the bills presented in stylish black leather that compliments the overall style of the establishment. It also exudes italianness, which is something you just don't get with the large chains like Pizza Express and Strada. The manager sang along to the Italian music playing over the speakers, and had a passionate greeting in speedy loud Italian with one of his guests. All in all, a damn good night out who's price, well stocked menu and finishing more than warrant a subsequent return or two. *which admittedly carried a reusable service charge of 10%, but I was more than happy to pay it seeing as I actually felt as though I was getting damn good service

They had a £6.80 for two courses offer, with a range of starters and a choice of any pasta, salad or pizza for the main course. The exterior is a bit bland - it's easily missed (which is why presumably I've walked past it for 10 years without knowing it was here), and the interior is simply done, too - whitewashed walls, marble tables and a bit of artwork. Overall, the experience was a bit mixed. We ordered different starters, and the consensus was that those choosing a side salad had the best result - they were interesting, fresh and good value. Fiorentina potatoes were a bit dull in contrast. Pasta mains were fine but nothing special: smallish portions (though fine for me for lunch) and average quality. But for the price, in the centre of Brighton, it was good value. A plus was that they brought us tap water happily, although the 'Italian Beer' turned out to be San Miguel - which is Spanish! Two courses plus coffee or beer plus tip came to £10 each. More mixed was the service: an astonishingly surly male waiter contrasted sharply with two charming and very efficient waitresses. The kitchen staff waved us an ostentatious goodbye when we left, which was so over the top (especially as we only clapped eyes on them as we were walking out) I wasn't sure if it was meant sarcastically or genuinely. I doubt I'll rush back - there are other choices in the centre of Brighton higher on my list, but if you seeking a quick cheap lunch, then it would fit the bill.

You can eat in or takeaway, and the restaurant is quite large, spread over two floors. The inexpensive menu is a major draw, and often the restaurant can become quite busy and loud, despite its large size. Entrees include classic Italian pasta dishes, such as spaghetti bolognese, lasagne, tagliatelle gambaretti (prawns) and penne al tonno (which is a personal favourite of mine!). There is also a specials board, which often has seafood options listed. During the week, Piccolos do a set menu, which is a bargain at around £6.50 and entitles you to a starter (garlic bread, tricolour salad or prawn cocktail), followed by pasta or a pizza. The takeaway menu is extremely cheap, with pizzas for as little as £2.50. In the summer, I often pick up some pizzas, buy some beers and head down to the beach: a cheap and effortless summer picnic! Although Piccolo's is not the trendiest restaurant in the South Lanes and does not serve the most innovative food, it does what it does quite well- in short, you get exactly what you pay for: tasty, filling, no-frills food.
