Our lunch for 4 was wholesome and absolutely delicious. Clearly a creative skilled chief using top quality ingredients. Interesting starters eg. crisps, that we loved. Limited menu but something for everyone. All agreed the cheesecake was the best in years. Great value. The decor is really beautiful. Tables are well spread apart and very comfortable. Cosy open fire and quiet calm atmosphere. Unfortunately the service was not good however. Staff not attentive. Had to keep calling them even though they were just standing chatting to each other at times. Didnt clear the starters plates and left them on table while we had mains. Left us short of cutlery and we had to call and wait again. Didnt know basic information about the food. Had to keep going to ask in the kitchen. Eg fish special listed on menu and they knew nothing about it. Similarly they didnt know what the plant based desert option was. They then mixed up coffee order. It is such a pity about the service as everything else was exceptional.

The choice on menu good. Potatoe dish did not strive when we asked they arrived overcooked inedible . It was far from warm our table in front of fire but not been stoked. No artificial sweetener for coffee. We certainly didn’t feel special . Church pews uncomfy

The venue is lovely, and beautifully decimated for Christmas. Very festive. The layout is good as it feels spacious, with ample space between tables. The food was delicious, and good value. Delicious desserts! The service was good, but could be a bit more attentive.

I was very disappointed with my meal. I had the lamb and it was incredibly salty. My mother had the same and couldn’t eat it. Also the kale was very tough. The manager was very polite and offered to change it. He also said we weren’t the only people to complain about the salt. It was a great pity as I have eaten there on several occasions and have been very happy with my meal. I also found the staff to be very inexperienced and our table was left with dirty dishes on it which they didn’t seem to notice!!
