I?m not one for writing reviews but credit where credit is due.
Been a while since we have dined at Pauls. I have to say the food and service were excellent.
Won?t be long before we return.

Friday Gourmet Groupies Discover a Hidden Gem at Pauls Restaurant, Bottesford
A scenic drive through the Vale on a gloriously sunny day set the perfect tone for the latest Friday Gourmet Groupies lunch, where the group landed at Pauls Restaurant in Bottesford. A fresh find for many and one that quickly earned rave reviews from all fifteen enthusiastic diners.
For several members, Pauls was a delightful detour from their usual stomping grounds making this outing an enjoyable step outside their usual lunch territory. The venue delivered on every level; with a spacious private dining area, beautifully set tables complete with linen tablecloths and napkins, and a welcoming atmosphere, the scene was set for something special.
The food did not disappoint. Each dish was stylishly presented and packed with flavour, with a menu that offered variety and imagination. Every course looked as good as it tasted, and some diners happily declared it would have been a shame not to go for all three courses. The kitchen impressed not only with its creativity but also its ability to accommodate various dietary preferences. While it would be helpful if the menu clearly indicated gluten-free options, the staff managed individual requirements smoothly and with care.
The attentive yet discreet service mirrored that of a fine evening service, proving that lunch can be just as refined making a pleasant surprise for a midday meal.
The dining room layout offered plenty of space and privacy, allowing the Group to chat and laugh freely without fear of disturbing others. As always, the company made the meal even more enjoyable, and the friendly, inclusive nature of the group helped create a relaxed afternoon gathering.
Many felt this may well have been the best venue yet, noting how effortlessly it combined elegance, comfort, and excellent cuisine.

Everything is beautifully presented and the lunchtime deal is good value for such high quality. It being a Friday lunchtime in school holidays it was quiet - which suited us but might not do much for atmosphere. The fish starter and mains (with a bowl of excellent seasonal vegetables) were very good - as, no doubt, where the meat ones. But a vegetarian would struggle - not sure a vegetarian burger seems the right fit for this slightly classy venue .

We took some friends to Paul?s restaurant for Sunday lunch today. We had a fantastic time, we were welcomed at the entrance and very personable service was provided throughout our experience. We were given the choice of going straight to our table or pre drinks in the lounge (which was our option).The menu was varied for a Sunday Lunch with plenty of choices throughout. I chose the smoked salmon and beetroot starter which was gorgeous, and then the Lamb for main which was very tasty, we were provided with lots of fresh vegetables to go with it. The dessert rather predictably I chose Sticky Toffee pudding was the perfect end to our lunch.
We had fantastic attentive service throughout the meal and a thoroughly enjoyable experience, many thanks Paul and to all the staff.

We had a delicious midweek lunch at Paul's. I had the Belly Pork that melted in the mouth and my wife had the cod loin beautifully presented and the best she had tasted in a long-time. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed. 5*

Absolutely superb. As a family on the spectrum...none of us like noisy places. Twice we've been here and they've done everything to accommodate us, and we've had a lovely quiet table away from the hustle and bustle. The food is a amazing. Wanted to take photos but enjoyed it so much I only captured deserts. Thoroughly recommend ?

Eaten here tonight. Very average food, excellent service, ok atmosphere. We won?t go again as lots of better local options in my opinion. Nothing special I?m afraid.

Have had the pleasure of eating at Paul's many times over the last 5 years. Absolutely fantastic each and every time cannot fault it. Just look forward to our next visit.

The only negative I have is that the food was cold as it had been served on cold plates. This is the second time it has happened.
