Lovely restaurant just off the high street in Bishop's Waltham. Fantastic food, great wine selection and friendly staff. Good choice of dishes on the menu, recommend the belly of pork

Had a nice meal here. Smartly presented in an old building. Excellent service. Had to try the soufflé which was fab and the rest of the food was very tasty.

Hi everyone, compliments to the Chef, every dish was of a high standard, and delicious even the vegetables. Very Good menu, catering to most tastes, and varied. The waitress service was excellent, with very Good customer service, asking for our feed back on every course. The price of meal was relative to the service, and food, and about right. Very enjoyable evening, we will be back🙂

We had the pleasure of dining at Banks last night. I don't normally write reviews however I had to share what an incredible meal we had. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff could not do enough to make sure your evening was special. The food simply was OUTSTANDING! From the moment each dish came out you could see the quality was first class. The starter, risotto packed with flavour and the fish just melted in your mouth. The Lamb was cooked to perfection and complimented by a lovely wine. Great value for money when you can clearly see only the best ingredients are used. Thank you to all the team for a great night.

A surprising find. Good service and the food good. Our daughters birthday who is gluten intolerant but plenty of choice. Unusually for me they didn't have any pudding I fancied. My seat was not too comfortable as could feel the wooden frame through the covering. Should have asked to change it. Will be happy to go again.

Lovely atmosphere! Delicious food!the chef is a genius! The waiting staff were so lovely. I thought my bellini was expensive for a dinky glassful and the ladies was a tad dated but not bad enough to give it just 4stars!! Had a lovely lovely meal

Love this place. Late birthday celebration with great friends. We all had the double baked cheese souffle for starters and I followed up with the venison washed down with the house white, Turning Heads, NZ. Always choose this here but disappointed not to find it anywhere other than here. Believe me I've tried! Wonderful staff that we have got to know well. Sorry I can't spell your name, M but thank you for looking after us all so well. And big thanks to the chef. How do you make so many delicious and diverse dishes relatively speedily? And not to forget the piano playing - taped - in the background which adds to the relaxed ambience. Thank you Banks. We'll be back.

Fantastic French restaurant and bar. The soufflé is the best I've ever eaten, very attentive service with extremely friendly staff. Go you won't be disappointed. Our second visit and many more to follow.

Food was really tasty, especially the Venison Cottage Pie. Interesting building (an old granary) situated right next door to Bishops Waltham carpark, which was a bonus as the weather was dismal. Service was a bit slow; no one acknowledged us at front of house for at least 5 minutes; otherwise it would have been a 5* review.

Called in for lunch on Saturday. A great variety on the menu that gives you a chance to try something slightly different. Had a starter and main course , the main was extremely tasty,well worth a visit,might need to book for the evening.

Food was excellent but the Service was very poor. No welcome. No one asked about drinks. No attention during the meal and no good evening when we left.

Amazing food, lovely service, such a fabulous evening.

G. M.

Birthday meal with my wife , was going to rate a 3 star as I found we were a little ignored on the service side of the meal , they did say they were short staffed though , The starter makes it a four star , palma ham , seasoned watercress with caramalized fresh ripe apricots and rockfort cheese on warm toasted croutons caught me off guard and has to be one of the best plates of food I have had this year The main course of beef was ok all in all we had a lovely evening here
