We've eaten at Cognoscenti several times and the food is always delicious. The menu changes regularly, so we have different dishes. This time we particularly liked the asparagus starter.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn and dined in their in house restaurant. Food was tasty, presented well with generous portions. The standout was the outstanding service. The staff at both Holiday Inn and the Dandelion were amazing, so polite and professional. Would not hesitate to go back there again. Also kids eat free if you're staying at the hotel which was a bonus.

This is our second visit - and again, Steak Ministry didn't disappoint. The 18-hour beef cheek melted in my mouth. I rail against the section of society who demonstrate against us omnivores. Continue with your choice of vegetarianism and / or veganism. Let's respect each other's choices. And the livelihood of dairy and cattle farmers too.
