    As we were visiting early on a Monday evening, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but we felt comfortable with a warm welcome. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. We will definitely be returning.

    The Print House was quite quiet at the time we visited. ( A Thursday lunchtime.) However we were warmly welcomed by the waitress and seated within view of the cheery log burning fire. The menu offered a good choice of dishes : something to please everyone. The food was well presented and delicious. The drinks menu was also extensive and our waitress offered helpful suggestions. The Print House has a warm friendly atmosphere, even when it is not very busy. I would recommend it.

    Very average, trying to be something that it’s not? Stuck between two stools, is it a ‘Gastro Pub’ or is it ‘Fine Dinning’? Unfortunately it’s neither. Really disappointing, we ordered our starter and it literally arrived within a minute? The whipped butter had never seen a whisk in its life, the Venison Ragout is no different then you would knock up in a slow cooker, the mash, stiff and tasteless, what a let down. When you see the chef leaving the restaurant at 8.20pm on a Friday evening, with his apron and trousers under his arm, you know you have picked the wrong place! With a big tie-in with Chapel Down, it’s all about the rooms and a lovely stay. If you are local, forget it, go for for a curry opposite.

    We had a lovely lunch this Saturday. Shame more people aren't using it as they are definitely missing out on a gem of a place. We will be back again. Hugs to Hettie

    The location is convenient for me because I volunteer at the nearby steam railway. But I commend this restaurant because the welcome is always friendly, the service attentive, and the food delicious. In addition, the Chef manages all kinds of novel, imaginative twists to add to traditional dishes. The price is a little on the high side, but I appreciate the hospitality industry faces significant costs.
