   Setting beautiful along the river where we walked the dog before eating. Staff were attentive, professional, friendly and extremely helpful and made our dog Maggie very welcome. Food was well presented and delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

   Brilliant. Fantastic roast, great portions, good option of sides. Tasty deserts and good service. Beautiful location with walks all around. Perfect on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

   Superb! We visited for Sunday lunch after a walk around Nayland. Welcome was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere warm and lively, but not too much. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and generous. Perfectly cooked roasts (we had beef & pork) with potatoes, lovely veg and, of course, yorkshires. Best of all, the chef made dairy free ones for my lactose intolerant husband so he didn't have to miss out, a rare event! Would definitely recommend a visit.

   We were warmly welcomed and had great service, however the vegetarian main dish was not very nice at all it was meant to be an aubergine dish but the whole thing was just wet and sloppy. We didn’t complain to the staff as we didn’t want to spoil our evening as this was a gift from family for our silver wedding anniversary.

    Our table upstairs was spacious and not too near neighbouring diners. A speaker near us meant the music was a bit too loud but the friendly waitress turned it down as soon as I asked. The new Prix Fixe menu was quite different from last week, but our choices were delicious.
