Absolutely superb. Great attentive and patient staff, smart and reassuringly confident in what they were doing. Menu covers everything, pork, beef, chicken, veggi, fish as main courses with a really tempting list of beautifully presented starters. Pork was divine, lamb pie excellent (and the pastry wasn't thick at all) chicken was a simple dish but fantastic. All present so enthusiastic that sharing became compulsory. Vegetables were served whole (carrots -several varieties including purple ones) and were really nicely cooked. Great Desserts were not necessary as there was plenty in portion size but, it has to be done on occasions. Chocolate brownie with raspberry didn't last long, pannecotta was light and wonderful and the simple ice-cream was really top quality (clearly not straight out of mass produced tub). It was dark when we attended but the lighting outside shows what there will be to enjoy in daylight. Tables inside were really well spaced and it's fair to say they could have squeezed another 8 covers but clearly have decided the spaceousness benefits repeat custom I'll be back here without a doubt. Oh by the way, the bar, with tables, is dog friendly but in view of there being only 2 tables, booking would be essential I guess. Overall, fantastic and I can't recommend highly enough. Summer 2022: and I have been back four times, and each time was as good as the last. I've eaten in the bar area (dog friendly at the tables) as well as in the main restaurant, all from the same menu, that has been thoughtfully put together. Finding patient polite and willing staff seem to be a speciality of the management team with, attentive, get non intrusive service, with genuine smiles. Food preparation has without fail been superb with a consistency hard to find. Every meal, has been superb. It really is a pleasure to look forward to going out to this venue, knowing you won't be let down. It remains on my very highly recommended list. Well done

I have photographed several weddings here over the last couple years and they all have been so much fun. Lovely staff, lovely venue. Looking forward to shooting here again this summer. I would highly recommend.
