   Always a wonderful dining experience with James and his team. Lovely atmosphere today in the garden room. Great wine choices following advice from the team.

   Lovely food and service as I remember. Accessibility is a challenge, though accommodating by staff with an accessible table, the actual journey from the car park is very steep. One to keep in mind if you have an elderly or mobility impaired guest.

   The fish on the fish and chips was rather small. The chips were warm/hot. My guest asked for a desert which appeared on the Garden Menu and was told he could not have that because it was not available on the lunch menu. My partner had cheesecake for dessert, which had little flavour and was not given the option of cream or ice cream to accompany the dessert. Nice wine, but £33 for a bottle which retails at £13 seems quite a mark up. The Garden Room is comfortable with nice views.

   Walk beforehand and a great early Mother’s Day lunch. The Duncombe is consistently excellent.

   Consistent,very high quality food and wine. Service is impeccable, never rushed. The rib eye was one of the best I have had in recent times. Lobster special was outstanding value. All in all faultless meal.

    Main was lovely but dessert choice a bit of a let down.
