Super food as usual. Terrific steak diane and dover sole. The wine list is one of the best around in my opinion, offering excellent wines at relatively reasonable prices. This is a major reason for my going to Frederick's. The ambience is wonderful even though the weather didn't allow us to sit in the garden.

Had food at The Drapers Arms again and it was great as always. Really solid, well-cooked food that’s consistently good every time we go. Nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service without being over the top. One of those places you can just rely on for a good roast.
