Astounded to find out that this little gem of a place is actually right on my doorstep. Have visited 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and have been blown away with the food and service each time. Definitely worth a visit, ideal for families with young children and great menu choices. In the pictures are samples of the Mediterranean Ciabatta, Warm Goats Cheese Salad, Beef Burger and Buttermilk Chicken Burger.

Brought a group to the Aubergine yesterday at the end of a networking event - excellent food, friendly staff and a deceptively large venue. Even though the place was busy, we were allotted a lovely quiet spot for ourselves. Ideal for drop-ins (great parking) and also a real addition to the Croom Civic Centre facilities if you happen to be working there.

Lovely spot, right beside a playground and large park area. The food is delicious with good variety on the menu. Nice gourmet food for sale along with some beautiful interior pieces also. Will be back!

Quiet afternoon stop for coffee & cake. Great choice with some slightly unusual versions of classics. Pleasant and helpful staff. Food presented beautifully. Full menu available. Set alongside lovely park for good circular walk alongside the river.

Great to see this lovely restaurant is under a new manager since March, she couldn't have done more for us. We stopped going here for over a year because of the poor service but we went back today and were delighted. They had no problem taking an order for items off the menu and it was all very tastey. Looking forward to going back again!
