A fairly limited menu but something for everyone. The service was very good and we were given time between each course and not rushed. The chateaubriand was beautifully cooked - tender and tasty. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Sevines has never failed to disappoint, the food is always amazing and promptly served, check backs are done without being invasive of your personal space. The staff could give many other restaurants a lesson in service. Can not fault them. Only marked slightly lower for noise because it does get noisy however its always a good sign that everyone is having a good time! Highly recommended

The service was excellent and done in a good spirit. The food was very good. With the Sunday roast beef, I was expecting not slices but a 'chunk' from a larger cut. I was a bit worried it was like a pack of sliced beef from Sainsbury's! Everythink else was excellent.
