The Fontmell Shaftesbury Reviews from The Last Year
Fabulous birthday supper
Opened the door to a crammed and vibrant bar. Passed through to a peaceful and tastefully decorated dining room across a bridge over a stream! I could have eaten almost everything on the menu, but chose crispy squid (which was outstanding) followed by herb crusted monkfish in lobster bisque chowder (which was very good although I was disappointed that it was served with some of the membrane still attached). Service was exceptional and it didn’t break the bank. We will be back.
Great!
Delicious (and generous portion) squid for lunch. Everyone in our party (of ten) was complimentary about their food. Charming and professional service which takes some doing with a large group of individuals. Saw the new menu and very much looking forward to returning.
You will not be disappointed
Lovely lunch at The Fontmell today with friends. Cally and Matt prepared gorgeous three course lunches and looked after us with really good sized portions. Arnie and Felix were very attentive and we lacked for nothing. The choices were excellent and the food was outstanding. Was rather stuffed afterwoods.
Amazing lunch
We all had an excellent meat at this delightful Pub. The service was top class and very efficient. You were not rushed at anytime and could take as long as you wanted. The food delicious and plentiful. I would recommend the Ham Hock for starter, the portion size is generous with large chunks of ham in a delicate jelly. There is a new menu coming out for the Spring so will definitely be going back for that. Well done Arnie and Team
Hidden Gem!
If you’re unsure about booking this place for a bite to eat - just book it. You won’t be disappointed. Basically - simple menu options done brilliantly. We haven’t eaten at this pub for a couple of years and thought that we would give it a go, knowing that was under new ownership. From start to finish, this was a brilliant meal. Although the menu wasn’t expansive or extensive, it was done extremely well. Clearly the owners priority was on doing the basic things well. All six of us had different meals and we were all delighted and surprised by just how very good the food was. Best meal I’ve had at a pub in absolutely ages. Even the attention to details for the olives and bread was appreciated - the best! Waiting staff - great. Ambience - great. Location - super. Who else can claim a river running through the restaurant without getting your feet wet? Only points for improvement - the music (which was in fairness quiet). I think if you notice the music, it’s the wrong type and I think something different (more chilled) or no music at all for the dining section would be an improvement. Maybe some one or two more ales. I cannot understand why this pub wasn’t heaving on a Saturday night, and seems to be a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. If you’ve read this far and you’re undecided - just book in. Thanks team for a great evening, Jamie.
Delicious Surprise
Lovely food. We wanted to eat locally and so chose the Fontmell which has been re-opened under new management and has a good reputation for locally sourced food. We werent disappointed. The food was presented beautifully and was delicious from starters to puds
Lovely lunch
We went here for lunch after visiting Springhead which is close nearby and the food was amazing . The choice was, understandably, fairly limited but we chose the fish and chips and mussels and really enjoyed them. The mussels are particularly recommended! We sat in the bar area with the log burner as we had the dog with us but there was a spacious restaurant and a large outdoor space which looked great for the summer. Excellent service too.
Lovely Lunch
Enjoyed a lovely lunch at The Fontmell. We were well looked after by Arnie, Sarah,Matt & Cally. The Crispy Sweet Chilli Squid was delicious, Duo of Duck and the Brill were Amazing! Fortunately we just about had room for dessert.. Fruity, fluffy and light the Raspberry souffle was perfect and the silky Vanilla creme caramel went down a treat.
Birthday dinner
7 of us visited this quirky country pub for a birthday dinner celebration. Service was good and the menu was interesting. I had a shallot tart for a starter and followed this up with the duck breast main course , served with a duck bon bon & potato rösti - the duck was cooked exactly as I had asked for it. Really lovely environment and with a covered stream running through the middle of the pub it was something a bit different
Great lunch
A return visit but this time at lunchtime and we sat in the bar. Lovely light decor, and friendly staff but best of all was the delicious and unusual food. The halibut with Thai aromatics was superb and the plum souffle really unusual. Good sized portions and reasonable prices for the quality of the cooking and overall experience

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
