What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bellamy's Bistro is celebrated for its delicious food, ranging from sensational seafood to satisfying British classics, and its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Many reviewers highlight the inclusive atmosphere and extensive options for dietary needs, particularly vegan and gluten-free choices. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews mention a decline in food and service quality over time, though these are exceptions to the generally glowing feedback.
"A fabulous find, food very, very tasty, well presented with great portions, music and atmosphere was lovely. Great service too. We were given profiteroles as a side as we all love them but opted for other desserts in the end, so they brought us one profiterole each out as a treat. How kind and very thoughtful. Truly a lovely dining experience with an ambience that's hard to find these days. Great"

"Lovely staff and multiple vegan options! The vegan lasagne was particularly delicious, we had that and the Arrabiata with chips and garlic bread (which was also suitable for vegans) and really enjoyed it all.
We were 8 people, 3 different generations, including children. To be able to suit all these different tastes plus vegans was a real treat. We had a lovely time!"
Chris Kneller
"I have been to this nice bistro with my wife. We took the mussels and fish and chips: plentiful and delicious! We also ordered ice cream at the end of the meal and fortunately they had the dairy-free option.
The service was impeccable: everyone was very kind and helpful. In the end we even exchanged a chat about our origins (we are Italian...).
Highly recommended!"
