I had high expectations due to the reputation of the owner and that the restaurant is in possession of 2 michelin stars. The restaurant is very well fitted and decorated, be aware of the low ceilings if you over 5' 8". The service and staff were very friendly and efficient. There was enough of a gap between each course to... More

We visited for lunch as a group of 4. On arrival we were offered a seat in the garden as we were early to have a pre lunch drink and look at the menus. There is an extensive gin list as well as cocktails and wine. Once our orders were taken we were shown to our table inside and served... More

Booked at the last minute. Had three courses; almost all were very good with the puddings exceptional. Only slight disappointment was one of the starters that was lukewarm and bland. Very good, but wouldn't know it was two star if I didn't know beforehand. Service was good.

We booked a meal here 2 months in advance and had a 130 mile round-trip for lunch. The whole experience was so good we plan to go back in the next couple of months. The food was incredibly tasty and beautifully presented and the service couldn't be faulted. The fixed price lunch is probably the best value 2 Michelin star... More

This was made in March,so one would have thought the weather would have been on our side.It rained most of the time...anyway we still enjoyed the lovely terrace area and a relaxing steam in the hot tub. We booked both a dinner followed... More

The restaurant is situated in a former pub, with correspondingly low ceilings but full of atmosphere. The service was quietly efficient and very friendly throughout. There was never a wait between the food being ready for service and arriving at your table, the team communicated well! The menu was exciting (some dishes deservedly well-known) and the food stunning and beautifully... More

Stayed for one night after eating at the restaurant. Room very nice, clean with everything you need. I do not have any complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend.

After seeing Tom Kerridge on the Great British Menu at home in Australia we thought we would try his restaurant for lunch as we would be in the area. On arrival there was a warm greeting and we were quickly shown to our table. The dining area is cosy but certainly not cramped as some people suggest. We opted for... More

visited on Saturday evening for an eagerly awaited meal... we were not disappointed. At first glance, the restaurant seemed small, but after we were welcomed in by the enthusiastic and attentive staff, I'd change that to cosy. The food was excellent, from the complimentary whitebait with marie-rose sauce, to the passion fruit soufflé. everything was cooked to perfection. Portion sizes... More
