    Always fantastic. The server obviously had experience and training - available, but not intrusive. All food was delicious (squid noodles, lamb belly, poussin, sea bream).

    Another lovely time at The Lore of the Land! Food was surprising as the last time, absolutely love the venison tartare, and the cod collar might not sit well with many but we enjoyed it very much! I loved the buckwheat risotto, every taste is subtle, loved it! Thank you to Christian who looked after us well, if only we could get a reservation that suits our time looking after the grandchildren, we'll be dining there more often! Will keep trying!

    Visited the Good Reader for Sunday lunch, dog-friendly and vibey pub with friendly staff and tasty food. I ordered the lamb shoulder roast, absolutely delicious and fall-apart tender. TGR is becoming a neighborhood favourite of ours!

    What an interesting daily changing menu. Second visit and had the suet crust pie both times. It's really big, thought I'd only eat half but somehow it all disappeared. This visit was beef, bacon and mushroom. Only comment both times, I like a bit more gravy in it, but we're all different. We had with leek gratin- probably a million calories but so worth it, and cabbage with chilli oil. We were utterly full but fortunately ignored and shared/fought over a chocolate pot with cherries. They were really busy- on a dark freezing cold Monday night in January, so obviously very popular. Interesting wine list but regrettably on a dry night. Another reason to return. Sunday lunch looks amazing.
