When we visited there was ample parking. We visited for dinner on a week day evening.
The atmosphere was great, entrance was friendly. The staff were extremely informative, not just about the current day and menu but also taking the opportunity to enlighten us on a 'themed pizza' evening once a week. I liked that. They didn't need to be asked for 'of the day' options, they informed us while giving us our menus. The menu contained a good choice and well priced.
NOW!!! THE.. FOOD!!!! 🤤 I can't even begin to explain and I don't think I could do them justice by trying. All I'm going to say is FAULTLESS, perfectly seasoned and incredibly cooked!! We did starters and mains and we were both impressed.
THE ONION RINGS 😭 ....THE ....CRUNCH 🥳, I ALWAYS give the onion rings to my husband, NOT THIS TIME, oh no, I couldn't, how could I? They were exceptional! Also, the chips, my god, they're wonderful, crispy and fluffy.
Although you're an hour from our home, I will 100% be back! Thank you to everyone for our experience!
We booked a week ago specifically for Sunday Lunch. When we arrived the staff seemed a bit lost. When we sat down we had to ask for menus, and then ask for Sunday lunch menus. We were told they are not doing Sunday Lunch, The whole reason we booked for. The Website has a Sunday Lunch Menu, they just decided not to do it that day because according to the staff "No one wants Sunday Lunch when it's hot." It was 18c. There were other tables near us that all wanted Sunday lunch too, so 9 out of 9 people I counted all wanted Sunday lunch and had to eat from the bait-and-switch menu.
The staff were very disorganised and the main menu food was poor.
Service was lovely, staff very attentive, food was excellent. The menu when you get there is much more extensive than it looks on the website.
The gardens and decking areas are superb and our fault, we were put off sitting outside by a small rain shower but actually could have been much braver and sat out today. We will do next time!
On the day the few sandwiches came out, and then the cake plate the bottom plate had a almond cake with macaroon on it. Luckily my partner tasted it first. As my allergy isn't just a upset tummy I have an anaphylaxis shock that would have closed my throat had I eaten it.
They took the first plate away and brought a plate removing big slices of cake and replacing a small cube of cake. The food was nice but that's a serious mistake to make. And just say I'm sorry!
I don't think it's a value for money but nice as an expensive treat as long as you don't die.
The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Took a beautiful stroll by the river and then warmed up with mulled wine and hot chocolates. Then Santa brought personalised presents for the kids and visited them during breakfast. If you have never been before or are just stuck for something to do, I cannot recommend this place enough.
