La table d'Alix at The Plough

We were visiting the area for the weekend celebrating 50th birthday. La Table D'Alix was a salivating experience which we really enjoyed. A lovely warm welcome by the restaurant owners Antoine and their staff. Very helpful and informative on the menus and ingredients.
En attendant - Freshly baked bread buns with local butter. Saucisson, a generous sliced cured meat with hazelnuts and gherkins. Tasted very nice and was good whilst the chef prepared and cooked our order. I ordered a Raspberry Cosmopolitan which was served with an orange peel lighted then served in the cocktail to release the orange zest aroma.
Starters - Cheese soufflé, soft tasty and Cheesy and the accompanying sauce was delicious. Sea scallops, tender, went beautifully with the pancetta and celery micro greens.
Mains - Cod, again tender soft and flaky, curry sauce not overpowering, very nice flavour.
Hunters Chicken, tenderly cooked and moist with flavourful olive tapenade and basil, the kale was seasoned well and crisp. The Romanesco nicely charred.
Desserts - Tarte tartin, sweet pastry with caramelised fruit.
Chocolat surprise, oh my word this was soo good! A Chocolate mouse that had a praline biscuit base that resembled maltesers flavour, the mouse was gorgeous and I loved the caramelised crispy zest decorated on top which gave the dessert a hint of sweet lemons.
The Staff pleasantly surprised by adding a sparkler candle to my husband's dessert and singing Happy Birthday which was really thoughtful, kind and made the occasion special. Thank you so much! :-)
Wines - Upon asking the restaurant owner advice on wines, I had a glass of white wine which was light and fragrant. It accompanied the chicken very well.
I also had a dessert wine which was again light, softly sweet and fragrant.
We have dined at a few Mitchelin restaurants and this has been an overall very pleasant experience. The Bill was in my view very reasonable for fine dining.
I liked that the owner's family participated in the dining experience and it reminded me of time spent in France dining with family and friends. Thank you.

Simply wonderful food, service and setting.

Antoine and his team made our meal here one of the best experiences we have had on our UK trip to date. They even dropped us back at our accommodation because we couldn't get a cab!

The bouillabaisse was superb, with delicious fresh fish and wonderful nuanced depth of flavour. The lamb rump also excellent. The lobster Caesar was something I've never had before, but again magnificent with generous portions of lobster.

This place is a must visit and it's only an hour from London... Go before it gets a Michelin ⭐!

Food, table, atmosphere all 5 stars and they do a killer coffee. Not to mention the amazing food. Loved that none of the chairs matched and the table was a converted sowing machine. Service was fast and food was great 👍

Best lunch we’ve had for a long time! The food was perfection with such high quality ingredients: the biggest king scallop we’ve ever seen, a beautiful beef fillet and delicious creme brûlée. They really care about providing the best service and food in a relaxed, friendly manner, which gives a wonderful experience all round. Our hostess even took our baby for a tour around the restaurant to free up our hands for eating. Highly recommend!

We’ve just had dinner here. The food is just really excellent. Very high quality. Nice relaxed chilled informal vibe too, just the way it should be. We had beef for starter, monkfish main and cheeseboard desert. But the whole menu looked tasty.

What a lovely restaurant, run by a great team serving excellent food

Lovely place to go so friendly and welcoming and excellent food

A firm favourite of ours. A family run exquisite French restaurant. The quality of the food and the service is outstanding. Great for both lunch and dinner. Highly recommend.

I don't often post feedback but this charming restaurant deserves to be supported and visited. The food is excellent, the service is fabulous and the setting delightful. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and were really impressed by the experience and warm atmosphere. A delightful taste of France!

This is our absolute favourite place to eat. A fabulous environment, a friendly welcome, and amazing food to top it all off. I can not recommend this enough.

One of our favourites, the food is always sublime, excellent service and above all else friendly, welcoming hosts. We will be back again and again. And again.

Food was delicious, service was very warm, friendly and very helpful with the choice of meals. We definitely will be back for more delicious food.

After dining at this establishment multiple times, I can confidently attest that I have never had a subpar meal. The remarkable caliber of ingredients utilized in the preparations clearly translates to the impeccable end product that is served. Additionally, the level of service provided is equally exceptional, evidently embodying the fundamental components necessary for any thriving restaurant. It is evident that this establishment is operated by a dedicated family, exemplifying the epitome of excellence. Antoine and Camille, your remarkable efforts are definitely commendable and I urge you to continue the outstanding work.

I had the best Sunday roast at Lá table !! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was fenomenal. I would 100% recommend it and definitely going back.

Food is consistently excellent with a well-chosen wine list. The owners work very hard and the service is warm and professional. They're hugely flexible for families - last time we went we called on spec in the morning and they were happy to accommodate our little boy and newborn. Put simply, we've never had a bad experience here and it's our favourite local place to eat. If I lived in the village I'd eat all my meals there!

Faultless from service to food to ambiance all 5*

Had an absolutely fantastic experience dining here for my sister in law's birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were so attentive. I am pregnant and the waitress took the time to explain what would be the best options for me which was above and beyond. The food was incredible and we had a lovely evening.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal yesterday. We had the moules and frites Thursday special and it was absolutely delicious. Service was warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be returning.

I just wanted to leave a review to express our gratitude for a magnificent post-Baptismal meal we had on the weekend. The food was as tremendous as when we have eaten there on other occasions, the area at the front worked brilliantly for our party of about 20 including young children, and everyone has told us what a fantastic time they had. Even just the little touches, like printing menus for guests without prices on, really helped to make it a special event where everyone could just relax and enjoy the food and company. Merci beaucoup!

This restaurant is really something special a great atmosphere and really warm service. A paired back menu delivered to perfection. Can recommend the champagne cocktails and they offer just about the best cheese trolley around!
