Lovely meal from start to finish! The members of staff were very friendly, we had a lovely chat with one of the ladies about food recommendations and local activities. We ordered: Cheese soufflé - absolutely stunning Fillet steak- beautifully cooked to our liking, seasoned well and accompanied by delicious chips and salad. I changed my chips for dauphinois. Creme brûlée- absolutely gorgeous, lovely vanilla custard with the perfect caramelised top served with a homemade ginger biscuit. Can’t recommend this place enough, great food, wine and service!
Stunning meal and right from the beginning we got welcoming vibes. I rang on Friday afternoon on the off chance and were made to feel so welcome by the lady I assume is the owner. During our meal she was so attentive and genuinely caring. The food was absolutely sublime we had the Lamb and Beef cheek. It was so tender and delicious. We would certainly return if lucky to be in the area again… Sticky toffee pudding alone deserves some sort of prize. Thank you
Had a fantastic meal out here for a birthday! The staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and the seasonality of the food, and everything was so fresh. I had an oriental duck salad, which really was divine - lots of interesting and delicious flavours. Highly recommended!
We got there too early and they happily opened up for us and we got drinks straight away. The dining room is lovely and the staff were great, giving enough attention and a friendly atmosphere. It was a family meal and we all really enjoyed it. We all had starters and mains of different meals, which were all faultless
Visited for my 70th birthday with my husband Iain and dog Reg. Such lovely staff and all the food was perfect. Could not fault anything
