    We always enjoy eating at Cassons. It is slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for. The food is always excellent, and it is brilliantly served by friendly staff. This was Sunday lunch which kept up that Cassons always provide. Highly recommended.

    The food is excellent. Taste and presentation was perfect, and the staff were really welcoming helping to make the whole visit a fantastic experience. Would thoroughly recommend - we have already booked to take friends to their fish tasting menu night in April!

    Really delicious Sunday lunch. The set menu features roasts and also dishes from their a la carte menu making it very good value indeed. Excellent service in a very old oak beamed building of great charm. Our only issue was that it is not easy to find - satnav told us "you have arrived at your destination" but we couldn't see it. For your information it is a couple of hundred yards from the Esso station travelling west on the A27, stay on the small slip road...Even if you do have trouble finding it, believe me, it is worth the effort! We shall return.
