The ambience is flawless and the only issue with the food we had, was that the duck was a tiny portion, but that and the butternut squash(veggie) was phenomenal. However, I do have to say, the service was questionable. Our waiter was basically avoiding eye contact, so tying to grab them to get the bill and a top up on water was a challenge. one other member of staff was rather rude to me on two occasions one worth mentioning in more detailing. He literally stopped dead in his tracks in front of me to let three women past who he proceeded to follow with his eyes, doing a full three-sixty. He then made eye contact with me no apology or even acknowledgement of my existence, as I then tried to squeeze past him, as he literally did not move to let me past.

A well located restaurant with a good outlook. Clean and well presented. Starters were mediocre… main courses were better.

We attended The Nook for our work Christmas lunch this year. Within our group we had a few different dietary requirements, all of which were met perfectly by the staff. They were very cautious and attentive where it came to ensuring we all had exactly what we needed. The staff were lovely and extremely professional- topping up our drinks and making sure to take away our dirty plates soon after we were all finished. The food was absolutely delicious and all cooked to our specification (Fillet of beef) We can’t wait to return again next year for our Christmas lunch again, if not sooner!

Have been several times before so we took visiting friends for a late lunch. It didn’t disappoint. The food, service and atmosphere was great and we had a relaxing, chilled afternoon.

We have been before for afternoon tea and it was wonderful. Today we weren’t as blown away as before. The small quiche appetiser seemed to be made with sweet pastry and the scones seemed a bit over baked. It was still a nice experience but unfortunately not as good as before.

Have visited quite a few times and really like it. However today I was given a table by the entrance to the kitchen with full view of the coffee making machine and the noise going with it. Obviously a constant stream of staff passing to and from the kitchen immediately behind my seat. I asked immediately on being shown if I could change as it was not what I wanted. The young female staff member said it was not possible to go to another table. After 5 mins I again asked if I could move. She again made no effort to investigate. The location of my table spoiled the enjoyment of what was otherwise a good experience . Why put a table there?
