    Wow what a night at de Tafel! The food was incredible and the service exceptional. Every member of staff was clearly invested and passionate about the menu. It was lovely and relaxed, we didn't feel rushed which meant we could enjoy the evening at our own pace. I would highly recommend dining at de Tafel! My only feedback for the time is that at the end of the night, we would love to have spent sime time with the sommelier, Richard had some fantastic knowledge of the wines on offer but we weren't able to share a glass with him.

    We had the 8 course plant based menu and it was out of this world! The staff listed all ingredients in the dishes and some history/foraging information. You can tell that they are passionate about what is being put in front of you. I was in awe of the knowledge behind the food! What a truly fabulous experience 😀
