Been here a couple of times now, once during the week and once on a Sunday for a roast. Food here doesn't disappoint. Good menu options, reasonable priced and nicely done. The staff and team are wonderful and friendly. Often they have music playing in the outside seating area which is a nice touch. Great date night place.

Carriages offers the ultimate Bottomless Bubbles experience! Incredible value for money, with attentive waiters who kept our glasses topped up without us even needing to ask. The food was delicious and plentiful—we could barely make a dent in it while we were there! Thankfully, the staff were more than happy to provide takeaway containers so nothing went to waste. We had a wonderful afternoon enjoying their beautiful outdoor space. The hotel itself is elegant and stylish, and the staff were absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend!

Had a gorgeous meal there yesterday for my mother in law's 80th. There were 17 of us and we had a lovely big table in a private room. The starters and roast were amazing and despite there being a lot of old people, not one person moaned so the food must have been good!

Can not fault. The place is superbly decorated, giving a real higher class feel. Our food was absolutely amazing, I had the king prawns in spaghetti. The sauce was thick and silky. The cherry tomatoes were incredible, but the spaghetti !!!!! It was cooked to perfection. My wife, on the other hand, had a margarita pizza (not very adventurous). Still, she said it was delicious and well worth the money. I can't recommend carriages enough, and it's going to be my new Thursday night restaurant.

Simply amazing! Food was fantastic quality and really delicious - pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, had both the lobster and ragu. Also the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever tried! Friendly staff, great value and great atmosphere with some lovely music playing throughout. Would highly recommend!

The food was delicious and the waitress was lovely. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The atmosphere was ok because it was Monday it wasn't crowded but overall it was a very nice place definitely will go back on a weekend.

Very warm welcome and we were fit in despite not booking and looking scruffy having just come off a flight. Staff were very welcoming and attentive despite having some large groups in. DJ playing celebrating International Women's Day was a nice touch and gave a very lively atmosphere. Great pasta portion sizes and pizza cooked fresh in front of us in a wood fired oven. All very tasty. We will be stopping in again next time we are at the airport.

My friends treated me to an afternoon tea here yesterday for my 60th birthday. It was beautifully presented and the sandwiches were delicious and so fresh and the scones and cakes were lovely too. The staff were so attentive and the whole atmosphere was amazing. Thoroughly reccomend
