TheForkUserA brilliant selection of vegetables for a vegetarian plus the Yorkshire pudding made a really tasty meal, extra wonderful with the onions and sweetcorn. The turkey was delicious for the meat eater.

TheForkUserWe were a party of seven. The food was absolutely fantastic. Hot and fresh and perfectly cooked to order. The service was a little slow, but it was a busy Saturday evening so perfectly understandable. Would definitely recommend. .

TheForkUserA good selection on both the a la carte and set dinner menus. The food was excellent and we didn't have to wait long between courses. This was the first time we'd been to the Mariner and decided we wanted to try somewhere different to our usual restaurants. We will definitely be returning again soon.

TheForkUserWe rocked up without a table booking at 6pm on a busy Saturday. The manager found us a table for 5 no problem atall. Staff were very welcoming and polite. The food was the nicest I've had in a harvister in a few years. I had the bbq chicken stack and couldn't fault it atall all in all a very enjoyable meal out. I'm not local but will be returning in the near future. Thank you The Fork Ravenswood.

TheForkUserAs with any Buffett type restaurant there are good and bad things. But that said you know what you’re signing up for when you go there. So queuing for your dinner is a given. The staff were lovely, food hot and plentiful and had a money off coupon too plus earned Yums - all in all a good night.

_TI***txHad a work lunch at Duke of York. I would rate this place 5/5 mainly for the exceptional service provided by Carrie and Emily. These ladies really go over and beyond their duties to exceed brilliance in customer service. Food, starter was amazing, main Shepard’s lamb pie, I didn’t enjoy. brownie dessert was good.

TheForkUserI have been here with parents, children, the kids chums, my mates and a lady or five. This was for my 60th with the eldest, her Man and a lady chum of mine. The waiting staff were effective and courteous the foid was good and got to have a Dad chat this is the first time since my last parent passed a way so a comfortable and warm place. The walk in Dedham was very chilly a lunch to remember.
