I ordered the brie which was cold and my wife the pate. Neither came with a coulis or sweet jam to balance out the... More

We went there on a Sunday afternoon. Disappointing considering the many awards this restaurant has achieved. My wife had the full sea bass, poached. She found it was not cooked enough, the flesh was quite difficult to remove, so she abandoned it. On mentioning to the waitress who took it in to the chef, she was informed that it was... More

The fairways is always on the top of my list if I'm dining as a couple or with friends. The chef here is the owner and he takes great pride in his food. It always has that little bit extra than ordinary bar food and the menu is huge. Lots of fresh fish and all your usuals like steak, duck... More

Mainly go for Sunday lunch, very busy so definitely would ring ahead for a table. Lovely presentation of food, sometimes the service can be slow but think that's only because food is cooked from fresh in the kitchen so it's worth the wait. They have a restaurant but we prefer eating in the bar - less formal, cosier and can... More

Was recommended this pub by the hosts of the B&B we were staying and it was indeed a good recommendation. We have amazing food and in massive portions! and on top of that, the owner-chef gave us some really good tips of places to see on our tour, off the beaten track. Thank you!

It was wonderful to come upon "The Fairways" restaurant. Food and presentation is first class. Their speciality is seafood even though their location, right in the centre of the country, couldn't be further from the sea. I don't know who their supplier is but their chef always ensures the quality and freshness of their seafood is the very best. I... More

At The Fairways, we are at a distinct advantage having the owner leading the chef brigade. This we believe achieves consistency.

Went to Fairways for lunch, we chose it because of all the raving reviews about the fish. When we got there only the lunch menu was to chose from, this was a bit disappointing but there was still Haddock in batter on the menu, so we chose that. Got the haddock or should I say Batter, with no exaggeration the... More
