What OpenTable Diner likes about Byfords:
Staff were amazing as soon as we walked in tending to everything. Food was amazing. Every course was delicious. Highly recommend the chilli shredded beef. Great atmosphere. View all feedback. What Lc1971 doesn't like about Byfords:
The savoury items were lovely but all the cakes and sweet layer were poor. We left 90% of them, even when asked if we wanted a take out box for them and we said no, we were not asked if there was an issue. Service was a bit slow and staff were chatting rather than serving a lot of the time. View all feedback.

Byfords is a delicatessen, restaurant, and a 'posh' bed and breakfast all rolled into one.

Byfords is a charming restaurant that offers a mix of savory dishes and sweet treats. While some diners found the cakes and desserts lacking, others enjoyed the high tea and vegan options. The staff received mixed reviews, with some praising their friendliness and attentiveness, while others noted slow service. The accommodation at Byfords was highly praised, with guests raving about the beautiful rooms and welcoming staff. Overall, Byfords seems to be a cozy spot with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food, although some improvements in certain areas could enhance the overall dining experience.
