    Had a Sunday lunch chicken dinner. Fantastic main course and a scallop chorizo starter. I would recommend the venue to everyone. Plenty of young families with children and the staff were brilliant with the young kids, offering them colouring pads and pencils to keep them entertained. Good to see no children with Mobile devices at the tables, no need for it they were happy and engaged. Desserts were outstanding, and the service from the staff was first class. Great place to eat or call for cocktails and drinks. The building is first class, so I can only imagine that the hotel rooms are of a similar standard. Will definitely visit again soon.

    Simply sublime, calm, unfussy and delicious. Really enjoyed the whole vibe and the mousse cake was a stunner. We will be back.

    A relaxed late afternoon/early-evening Sunday Christmas treat for four. Luckily they weren't too busy as we probably over stayed our welcome! Food first: There was a Sunday (Festive) Menu on, which didn't have too many options for mains, but didn't disappoint: Cauliflower soup, Salmon starters and the two roast dinners were excellent, and even the Fish and Chips were very good. Sizeable portions meant only one of the party could manage a dessert: Christmas Pudding with (I think) Creme Anglais was eagerly finished and described as "tasty: spicy with a good shot of booze". Nice selection of wines at reasonable prices: the women of the party had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which was described as "ooh, that's nice"! Lovely setting, nice comfy settees for drinks, friendly staff - attentive but not overbearing. In hindsight, if we were being very, very picky, the large-ish downstairs room was a tad on the cool side but it's probably fine if it's busier (we ate at a fairly odd time, about 4.30 on a Sunday afternoon). All in all, we'd definitely recommend and will certainly return.
