   Absolutely delicious!! We had the Valentine’s menu, my partner had the French onion soup, I had the mushroom pate followed by the root veg and halloumi pie and I had the catch of the day, a seabass filet with crispy skin (not a single bone), perfectly al dente vegetables and a rich, smooth Hollandaise sauce. The New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was fresh and zingy and the complimentary rose with chocolates was such a lovely gesture. We had our furry little boy with us too, who was given a yummy dog treat and we were given a table that had enough space so that we could tuck him away. We finished with the lemon cheesecake and the brownie. Both were light, tasty (& the brownie was gorgeously crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, super indulgent) and the perfect way to finish a fantastic meal. Thank you to both the front of house and kitchen teams, a truly lovely evening.

   We have been the snowdrop in several times and each time has been lovely, the customer service is always excellent and previously the food has been very good. Unfortunately our food and choices this time were not to the usual standard. We ordered 2 steaks (one medium and one medium rare) unfortunately we received a rare and a medium rare but that not one to be overly bothered by the rareness of the steak as long as the taste is at a high enough standard we didn’t ask for a new steak. Unfortunately the cooking of the steak was not great, The fat was not rendered on the outside which left us with mass amounts of chewy fat and steak that lacked flavour. The sear on the steak was also not present and as a result it looked sadly grey and uninspired. However the positives were the shared platters, salt and pepper wings for starters were great, our sons Mac and cheese was very nice (even though he didn’t eat it himself, it did prove a good foil to add flavour to the steak) The fish of the day was excellently laid out and cooked perfectly. Our deserts of choc cheesecake and winter fruit crumble went down well. It was just a massive shame about the steaks and the lack of options on the menu due to stock running out. We really hope that on our next visit the food matches the excellent front of house service

   We had another lovely meal at The Snowdrop. Sophie looked after us well and the food was delicious. We all had the pies, beef and Stilton. A great combination. We will be back.

   Service was very slow. Had to send back one of our meals as was uncooked but the manageress was very good about it, however, no discount was offered. Expensive - £7.00 for 4 very small pieces of Fried Brie (starter) £6.70 a pint of IPA A lot of items on the menu were not available.

   Everything was good, including service food, etc., but the French onion soup (made from scratch) stood out as it was excellent, as was their espresso coffee.
