The environment was very romantic, but the food was very average. Most of the dishes are cold food. the restaurant was so cold, we asked the manager to turn on the air-con, she agreed, but she never turned it on for us. The food came very fast one after another. the waitresses were very polite. I couldn't go again, it's not value for money.

It was good, however there was a bone a misplaced bone in one of our dishes. No apologies from staff or kitchen. One of their staff was condescending explaining which cutlery we should use. The food was delicious however especially the duck pasta.

Five of us loved every aspect of our dinner at Deer Duck. The food on the degustation menu was superb and beautifully presented, the service was impeccable with just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. We loved the quiet, genteel atmosphere - no loud music and the separate rooms means there is no loud conversation. We are planning a return visit.

We will be back. There was one course that unfortunately was not up to the standard of the others and there were a couple of little things with the service that could have been polished (reaching across in front of a diner to put down and collect plates to another diner). We were sitting by a door which lead outside which was not always closed with staff coming in and out so I had to get up and close it several times.

Overall it was good. The food was amazing and staff was friendly. It took a bit longer than I thought. I also requested another glass of wine which never came and had to prompt twice for water to be served. Overall it was a good experience without anything special

Found the long course well presented, great quality and taste was good but not as amazing as our experience 12months ago. Did not feel the wines paired that well with a few dishes which reduced the quality of the dining experience. Still look forward to dining again.

We had the short course degustation option- one of us was vegetarian and had a slightly different menu. The food was exceptional, would thoroughly recommend, especially if there are vegetarians to cater for.

Food was actually pretty good but the service was a bit sloppy (thudding down plates in front of you at times like they were in a mood), terribly slow at the end, the girls just disappeared for ages, then would refuse to catch your eye when we wanted to pay. Ended up just taking ourselves to the front and stood there for ages before they appeared again from the kitchen. No apology unfortunately which just made for a lacklustre experience.

A wonderful experience complimented by outstanding food and an extensive, yet well priced, range of wines. The choice of degustation formats is a great idea, but I recommend going all in and doing the 9-course, as the food is amazing. The quiet and somewhat intimate atmosphere makes for a most welcome change too. All in all, a wonderful evening and a fantastic, memorable dining experience backed up by friendly, efficient and attentive service. A real treat!

First visit to Deer Duck Bistro and what a wonderful evening. Warm and welcoming staff, amazing menu and delightful setting. We chose the ‘Short Course’ degustation and enjoyed every course. My personal favourite was the venison tartare! Can’t wait for our next visit.
