A few things stood out to me, that i would expect to be better for the high prices they are charging.
Upon arriving we had to wait at the bar for twenty+ mins and have our order taken there, while there was loads of seating available in the restaurant and we had booked. If you have booked and arrive on time you usually are able to go straight to your table, this was strange way greet and serve us i felt.
The pre booking / reservation system asks for a ridiculous £24 per person if you cancel inside 24 hours. This is Earl Shilton not London, £10 is the going rate. £24 is just greedy. This was enough to put us of going for years. We have never cancelled on restaurants before, but i think this sets completely the wrong tone, before you have even eaten. I appreciate its a small family business, but this high cancellation charge is just the wrong way to start.
Service was very good, food came fast, but the lack of menus, made it hard to make a decision for desert, i understand you change the menu regularly, people expect menus, its a basic restaurant standard.
Desserts were divine when they did arrive.
The flavour and presentation of food was absolutely great, so i cant knock that.
Overall we would dine again, now we know what to expect.
I am a vegetarian and found the first time that the menu was limited but there are still always options and this does not taint my experience - the vegetarian food is always amazing.
The combinations of flavours and fresh ingredients are incredible and it’s a really lovely place for a treat. Prices are relatively high but for the quality of food you can’t complain!
The side of parmesan brocolli is something else!
Dessert is always amazing - salted caramel crème brûlée is out of this world!
The Staff are extremely attentive throughout your visit. They want to listen to your comments and deliver an exceptional service.
The menu is on a huge board in the bar. A board you can actually read , as let’s face it menu print is getting more difficult under low lighting to look through.
You could be there for hours just choosing the menu itself. Everything is there and definitely something for everyone.
The wine menu is exceptional and the choices available compliment the food admirably.
The food is cooked to perfection and one of the sides that can be ordered (peas and pancetta) is an absolute must. You could eat that dish just on its own.
The 3 courses my husband and I had were completely opposite. Meat and fish choices, except for the pudding and cheese, but non the less perfect.
I highly recommend a visit to this exceptional restaurant and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Guys for the most relaxing evening. See you all again soon.
It was a Friday evening booking and, while busy, they maintained social distancing guidelines.
The food we ordered was lovely and varied. The knock-out dish was their signature MasterChef dish, which was cooked perfectly. And I especially liked their praline crème brûlée.
The price was reasonable too. And there's also a public car park opposite the restaurant which is free in the evenings.
I would highly recommend this place if you're after a friendly, family run restaurant that offers a good variety of food.
