Been here many times. A bit old fashioned but in a quaint way. Very good food, friendly staff, booking often required. Popular with the over 50's.

After reading about this restaurant's history and the glowing reviews,I thought I'd take my husband there for a birthday meal tonight. Well what a great experience . Between us we had frogs legs, Dover sole, paella & creme brulee. Every course was lovely and with impeccable service and linen tablecloths. We will definitely be back with family & friends

Fabulous restaurant. Delicious food, generous portions and great service. I'd heard many positive comments about Biggles, but not had the opportunity to go until last night. We shall be going back again.

Was a nice meal but no vegetarian option on menu had to ask. Offered the stroganoff option without the meat!! Not vegetarian friendly and suggest vegans would find the offering difficult.
