   I took my mum as a treat for her birthday and we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. The food and atmosphere were gorgeous and the staff were so attentive. We didn’t feel at all rushed between courses and felt completely relaxed. We had the Sunday lunch set menu and everything was delicious. Also great value for money given the quality of the food. Will definitely be going back soon!

   We arrived on time, had a very warm welcome, our coats were taken care of and we were shown to a lovely table, which had been set with a white table cloth, a white starched napkin, fresh flowers and a candle - a great start to an evening out. Our server was great at looking after us, she was engaging in short and friendly conversation, she was very much on the ball at checking in that we had everything we wanted and making sure that we were happy with each course. We had ordered the seafood and fish papardelle starter, which was very tasty but it had a lot of cheese on it that had not been mentioned at all in the menu description. We would have preferred to know that. As a main course, we had ordered Steamed Turbot with Citrus Fruits, Olive Oil and White Asparagus, it was a delicious, well-balanced and original combination. The other main course was a Grilled Pork Chop with Chick Peas, Aioli & Turnip Tops, which was a very unusual dish but very much enjoyed for its rich flavour combinations and the most beautifully grilled pork, which was delicious and tender, as well as attractive on the plate. For dessert, we had opted for the Sherry Trifle with Rhubarb and the Vanilla Pannacotta with Blood Orange & Grappa. The pannacotta was one of the best I have ever had for flavour. The trifle could have benefited from more rhubarb. The Chardonnay (Campo Fiorito) served with the pork chop was a great choice, perfectly chilled. The music played might not be to everybody’s taste for a dining experience. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, we had a very enjoyable evening and will book again. Thanks to the whole team.

   A wonderful experience, very friendly, lovely food albeit the menu is quite small so some may feel choice is limited. Excellent wine and cocktails and fabulous service. I’d love to return and stay in their beautiful looking accommodation. Highly recommend

   Delicous food presented superbly. Staff very good. The restaurant was extremely smoky and we all had sore eyes and were coughing which did make our experience a little tainted especially as when we got home our clothes smelt of cooking.

   We had the winter set menu and it was amazing. I would also reccomend the cocktails. I had the blood orange negroni and the lemon leaf martini and it was one of the best Martinis I have ever had.
