We ate in the resturant for a long over due date night and were really really impressed! The staff were all incredibly friendly and professional, something which is getting really rare these days. The two girls who served us were helpful and considerate and seemed to know the menu well. What surprised us was the food was really good value, but dishes were really high end and special! I had the pork belly and my wife had the venison. The gravy was spectacular. The pork was cooked to perfection. We had a white and a red wine which were both really pleasant and there was a great drinks selection! Overall we would highly recommend this restaurant in this lovely setting and will certainly be coming back with friends.

Celebration lunch for a special birthday. The starters were a great beginning although one of the young waitresses dropped a calamari down my friend causing the dressing to stain her outfit! Not the waitress' fault as the plate was piled delicately and precariously high, looks pretty in the kitchen but impossible to deliver to the table. No main course pics taken as we were all a bit underwhelmed. Hubby said the fish pie was nice and in hindsight not too big so would have been suitable for our almost 9 year old. (Why do restaurants think a child's menu should only have rubbish food like burgers chips and beans, our kids are more decerning eaters?) Sadly there was no chicken option on the menu & I don't eat red meat or fish but there were loads of vegetarian options but all sounded unpleasant. I told the hostess I only eat chicken and would there be an option I could have, she said no and in my panic I picked welsh rarebit as I genuinely didn't like anything on the menu. The Welsh rarebit was so dry, very garlicky and super salty, with no much else on the plate. It repeated on me all afternoon and evening!! Two slices of cheese on toast with extra truffle fries, I couldn't eat as everything was so dry - plus a starter, no pudd amounted to 50 quid per person, not value for money or even nice food. Sorry, very disappointed, overall not great 😔

Been twice in 4 days. Better than I expected, nice use of space, felt comfortable. 2nd visit, one of the coffees was quite unpleasant, but maybe the non-dairy milk was bad for some reason. Not much called for? This is an observation, I didn't complain. My coffee was excellent in contrast. Will definitely return as, on balance, I like the service and atmosphere.

Good meal with family, very busy in the main dining hall so it was very noisy. Staff were excellent and we all enjoyed our meals overall. I thought my burger was rather small for the price and the fish pie was lacking in fish somewhat. The starters were all excellent and the gammon,egg,chips was really good.

Went with a group of friends for Sunday roast, all of the meals were great, especially the creamed horseradish leeks with the beef. Desserts were excellent and the drinks selection is always good. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the vibe in the restaurant and outdoor patio area is always nice. Would recommend for food or even just drinks!
