    The corkscrew was lost and so wine choice was limited to screw top bottles only. However, after that small fail everything else was slick and fell into place nicely. As always, the food was excellent. The nibble type breads served with delicious tapenades, whipped butter and fruity peppery olive oil. For starters there was a stunning fishcake with a flavour packed sauce, and a pressed leek dish as a veggie starter. The mains wowed with artichoke pasta and hake on a bed of veg in a creamy reduction. Chips were outstanding as was the generous portion of truffled mayonnaise. Desserts were piping hot apple turnovers and ice cream - wonderful. A lovely lunch

    Hi Alistair Many thanks for your review! Sorry about the corkscrew, it just seemed to of grown legs and vanished in the rush! Luckily two more have taken its place and a third is in backup storage! The Yurt Team

    Not as good as expected. I visited once for lunch a while ago and more recently for breakfast, which is always a delight. Lunch options look good but not well executed unfortunately. Both tapenade and pressed leeks were bland, coq au vin extremely salty, aubergine dish was nothing special and seasonal greens were just boiled, no seasoning. So disappointing.

    Many thanks for your review Marie. Apologies we did not deliver to your expectations, normally we get such great feedback so sorry to hear we did not deliver on this occasion. We will reach out to you privately also and see how we can put this right. The Yurt Team.
