Lovely venue. Absolutely fabulous dinner. Staff so friendly too. Nothing negative at all. We had a fantastic stay.
Tried the critically acclaimed food at the ballroom in December. Really was a fabulous experience, orchestrated by a wonderfully talented young chef. If you’re not afraid to, on occasion, pay a bit more for outstanding food, you must try here. The duck was perfectly cooked, well sized portion. The desserts were all well balanced in flavour, not too sweet, sour, or bitter. The complimentary brownies were a really nice touch. All the service staff were in sync and simply professional. Only minor drawback for me was the mushroom starter. Its flavour profile was simply sour; it tasted a bit vinegary, and could have done with a little more to compliment the flavours. Otherwise flawless meal.
Not a stay - just restaurant... Have dined twice in "The Ballroom" - since it re-opened after a major refurbishment. Always felt that such a character filled building, literally central to the community was under utilised. The recent takeover and refit shows promise of making much more use of it's potential. The food is amazing, to echo what is in other reviews - clearly a talented chef & team who know what they are doing and are confident to push things their own way. On both visits - which were probably a year apart - the food was exceptional. The staff also have just the right level of attentiveness - there when needed but not 'in your face'. The Ballroom restaurant is well spaced out, the complete opposite of the being shoe-horned in that is often par for the course. Thoroughly recommend a visit.
Had a lovely set meal last night in their 'Ballroom'. They've really spruced the place up since coming into ownership of this lovely building, and the food is very, very deserving of its 2AA Rosettes. Great service, not very busy at all on a Wednesday (their start of the week for Ballroom service to be fair) and very, very delicious food. Clearly highly talented and ambitious chef(s) with a real emphasis on creative but not zany cuisine. Minor criticism from someone who is far more into coffee than is normal; Illy coffee is not great. Given you have a great looking espresso machine it's somewhat disappointing you don't use a local roastery to elevate the quality of the last thing I drink before I leave... Certainly something that would be critiqued if you had higher ambitions than the 2AA rosettes!
There wasn't a lot open it was a Sunday. This was the only place to go to eat or have a drink. Nice rustic place with lots of character . They were only doing roast dinner no other snacks. So we only had a hot chocolates . It wasn't very nice couldn't taste any chocolate it was very watery . We didn't really drink it all so left very unsatisfied.
