    Quality of food was exemplary as normal although my table agreed that portions this time were a little on the small side. However as service and ambience was also excellent.

    Food excellent Was not able to book table at preferred time and on arrival the restaurant wasn’t even a quarter full. Attended for a birthday lunch and stated so on booking but this was never mentioned or acknowledged by staff. A nice “welcome I understand you celebrating a birthday” would have made my dad’s day. Very pleasant staff and lovely setting with spotless toilets. Slow drinks from order to arrival and ice added to a pint of cider which was strange! Steaks ordered but only after we had started eating were steak knives supplied. The food was lovely but attention to detail on service disappointing.

    Booked a table for 9:15, arrived at 09:10. Drinks were ordered and served straight away but was told we would have to wait to order food. We had to wait until 9:40 to order and food wasn’t delivered till 10:00 which is poor. When the food arrived they got the full English food incorrect. Cannot complain about the food as it’s fantastic. It is expensive however.
