    We went for a small celebration. We took a couple of contrasting bottles of our own wine . The service was splendid. Without fuss the right bottle was decanted and we were offered the right glasses which makes such a difference imo. Sometimes “corkage” charges can seem like a consolation prize for the restaurant. But here they take wine service as seriously as the food. The mallard was exemplary. Well plated with a good selection of seasonal vegetables for balance. Unmissable fries with spot-on Bernaise to drag them through. Excellent cheese board. And a tarte tatin made with excellent flaky pastry and thickly cut well caramelised apples. Truly a great meal.

    It had been a while since I’d visited Medlar but it was every bit as good as previously remembered. A wonderful seasonally influenced menu with everything cooked to perfection and an outstanding wine list. The staff and friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Knowledgeable about their menu and wine list and work hard to ensure everyone has a memorable meal.
