   Thank you for your feedback. Match days are always a busy time for us and we had a reduced menu in place to help ensure efficient service. However, we’re truly sorry that we fell short and that our service did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your honesty and will use your feedback to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Warm regards, The Schoolhouse Hotel Team

   We booked a table for two to have an early lunch before the rugby match. When we arrived it was busy with many people going to the match having drinks and some like us having food. The greeting was friendly and warm, we were shown to our table where we ordered drinks. The menu as we were told in advance would be restricted but there was still a lot on it, I had the Hake with wonderful vegetables and boiled new potatoes. The sauce was excellent with mussels and many other interesting ingredients, my friend had the Wagu burger and chips which he also enjoyed. The service was prompt and professional. The overall experience was very good and the quality of the food on what was a busy Saturday was excellent.

   Everything was fine except the seating was a couch . I got them to move us to a high table which was fine . That area was dominated by a big tv screen which was fine by me as I was happy to watch the rugby

   Been a very long time since I was here. Nice menu. Good wine list ( not big but decent wines). Food was a bit disappointing. My main (rib eye) was a bit cold and the meat was not great. Also thought the frites were poor. The rock oysters were good - fresh and meaty. The rhubarb creme brulee was passable but the rhubarb could have been cooked a bit longer. I tasted the chicken wing tarter, the crab cannelloni and the chicken terrine. All perfectly acceptable.

   If you order desert, be aware that it comes only two full spoons of desert. Overpriced for small main dishes that are not quite freshly made.
