our family has get together lunches here as often as is practicable and sunday was another of those occasions. the staff were friendly and accommodating to our group of 15 and the food was nice with the exception of the rum and raisin ice cream which had the texture of sand. that was a little disappointing as it is my favourite flavour. we advised the waitress and she said she would let the kitchen staff know. the interior is nice and comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. we will most certainly be back.

we have been to the old vic before for lunch and we enjoyed the wide range of dishes on the menu.
however, when we returned for a birthday dinner the positive experience from previous times were not to be repeated.the children enjoyed their meals of hot dog and chips but my wife and my meal was quite small in portion size and the cost did not really reflect the quality of the meal. this is halswell not hampstead heath! i was disappointed that there were only six mains on offer and vegetables and salads were served as additional sides at an obvious extra cost. most meals need vegetables/salads for nutritional balance,aesthetic purposes among other things. it would be good hospitality practise to offer this in the future.

from the moment we telephoned to book for a very special family dinner, as most cantabrians know, family celebrations are very important, since 2011. the staff talked us through what we needed, a private room (the front room) as older members of our party had hearing difficulties and this option was appreciated. the menu which was very varied. the staff went out of their way to accommodate our wishes and decorated the room for us, with items taken there the day before. on the evening, the staff were exemplary , our group of family and close friends could not not fault the fare, the room and as importantly the staff. they were first class. we would recommend the old vicarage and cafe to anyone planning a special family dinner.

on friday night we decided to eat out and ended up at the old vicarage, arriving without a booking on a busy evening. they found us a table for two and despite it being near the noisy bar we were able to hear each other talk which was a relief. the service was very prompt, professional and friendly, there was very little delay at any stage, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. have been there several times now and always enjoy the food and the surroundings and the great service.

we visited the old vicarage on saturday. i ordered the confit duck thighs which were cooked perfectly, this was well worth the $42. there was one disappointing aspect which was the variety on the menu. my partner ordered a steak, which was the only steak option. half of the meal consisted of a mac and cheese croquette with broccolini, this place would have been a 5/5 for me on the food, if there was another steak option that included a variety of vegetables like all of the other mains. the staff were extremely friendly & the cafe itself is really comfortable and warm. i would definitely recommend this place to others.

we went here for breakfast last week and we love it. the atmosphere was wonderful. the staff were so lovely and helpful. the menu was great. my husband got a burger for breakfast (it was some of those days) and i had the eggs benedict. everything about the eggs was good, except the spinach on the rosti made it quite soggy which was unpleasant. my soy chai was well done and the milk was silky! most cafés just don't get it right. my husband liked his coffee too. all round it was a nice breakfast in a beautiful setting on a rainy morning.

i was born and bred in chch, but moved to melbourne 20 years ago. every year i return in july to visit family and friends and over the last 3 years have returned each year to have a meal at the old vicarage. beautiful food, very friendly, helpful staff and wonderful ambiance. the venison is amazing and cooked to perfection. really great service tonight (along with tuneful singing) from mason - see you next year!

atmosphere:
lovely house with nice outdoor bit. the room decoration was really cool, especially the library room

service:
was quite good and attentive, until later in the night we were forgotten as we waited for water and the dessert menu - we ended up leaving without dessert

food:
entree - calamari was bland, like really bland. the sauce was okay but did not help with the flavour a whole lot. 
mains- pork belly: cooked well and presented well. good sauce (maybe a bit watery). the crackle was slightly over cooked and tasted burnt. rabbit leg was cooked beautifully with a great pea mash and sauce drizzled on top. portion size was generous and filling.

this place is a stunning setting! i came here with friends of multiple ages for coffees and fluffies. there is lots of outdoor seating and different rooms with different vibes inside. we didn't eat but the menu looked delicious, good for a family dinner or a date.

went there this evening, the place is quite lovely and i would like to come back one day for lunch on a nice sunny day. the service was prompt and nice. i ordered the eye fillet medium rare which was close to well done and the seasonal vegetables were very boring but the dessert was to die for. i got the mocha cup with was a very rich chocolate dessert and my partner got the lemon lime meringue pie which was uplifting and delightful!

regularly go there for brunch, the "vickars grill" is the bomb.

would be a 5/5 but the bacon has changed... used to be better. great place to have a meal on a summers day.

been here a couple of times for breakfast. the setting is good and well set out restaurant.
the first time coffee was great and smooth, second time however, not as good slightly bitter and lukewarm. 
breakfast:
hotcakes were tasty and had great presentation! however, watered down maple syrup was a bit of a let down and the size of the hotcakes were the size of pikelets. 
the breakfast burger was very tasty and substantially large with good presentation! was good value for your money.

overall experience was good food was nice and coffee ok would visit on the odd occasion
