    Went here twice for lunch. Overall experience was very pleasant, though the prices are on the higher side. Ordered the ox cheek, lamb, Yorkshire pudding, scallops with some desserts and drinks. We all enjoyed the flavours and quality of food we had received, and some allergies noted were taken seriously by the staff here. Location is beautiful, and it's wonderful sitting in a classy dining room with a lot of natural light while enjoying a nice meal with family and friends. Only thing we did not enjoy as much was the steak, but everything else made our holiday very special.

    Food was amazing! We had the steak and ale pudding, fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding - simply amazing. Our nine year old was along and raved about the fish and chips. Friendly staff, with great beer recommendations to go with the food. Child friendly environment and meals!

    Fab location and our waitress, Deebida, was so nice. Our starter was Pheasant, and while tasty, it was tough and dry. Mains were Duck leg, which was fab, and chicken Schnitzel, which was just OK, a little dry and lacking flavor. Cocktails are lovely and the setting is fab. Will I be back, no. But happy to have gone.
