I went to their Guildford restaurant and must say I enjoyed the meal. Far better than many other restaurants in the area, not cheap but I felt worth what I paid.

Mixed opinions of the one in Bath - general consensus is that it is ok but nothing special.

Agreed, nice enough meal, but you get the feeling you could've been having the same dining experience in any number of other restaurants in the area.

yes and the inability to book a table (unless you number over 8) makes planning an evening difficult.

Been a few times Bath, Oxford and Guildford (x2) I think they are opening in Reading as well.

Bath and Oxford a bit meh tbh, Guildford has been far superior for some reason. One of the things we like is it's baby friendly. We have a newborn and don't think we should suffer food wise because all that child friendly is Pizza Hut or another sthole.

JI did everything they could for us and baby (who mostly slept) we also go early (before 6:30) so pretty much always get a seat instantly.
