   This was a very mixed bag. The service is lovely but the place itself is a bit austere, which isn’t really a problem as that’s a matter of taste. The problem is that the food is very mixed. My ox cheeks were delicious but my husband’s pork was dry (we can all make dry pork at home; we rely on a good restaurant to make it juicy!). The bread, at an extra cost, was of very mediocre quality and came with two flavoured butters: black pepper and Parmesan and tikka masala. Why would anyone want tikka masala butter?? Good fresh butter on good bread can’t be beat. My husband’s dessert of apple and almond tart was superb, but my pear and ginger crumble was watery and lacklustre (one cube of preserved ginger popped on top does not make it a ‘pear and ginger crumble’). We are happy to pay for— and support the use of— locally produced food, but the basics need to be got right.

   Great food in a very pleasant setting with knowledgeable staff: we even met the Head Chef to discuss menu choices! Highly recommend.

   Excellent local food and service. The menu may be limited but it is easy to look at the menus online. We specifically booked for the Festive Menu: Starters of the parfait with amazing chutney; beetroot carpaccio. Mains of Ox cheek; loin of pork wrapped in pancetta and desserts of delightfully light Christmas pudding; chocolate and orange sponge. All accompanied with local wines.
