Feedback
Nestled in a charming village, this restaurant offers a warm atmosphere and a diverse menu that delights guests. While many appreciate the friendly service and high-quality food, some diners express disappointment with the consistency and timing of their meals, particularly during busy periods. Though options like the 2-for-1 meal deal provide value, patrons find certain dishes, like the Sunday roast, lacking in execution. Despite varied experiences, the overall ambiance, coupled with excellent cocktails and a dog-friendly policy, positions the restaurant as a popular yet occasionally overhyped dining choice, best suited for casual visits rather than special occasions.
I opted for a late lunch after visiting the museum, and I was greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was excellent and freshly prepared. I recommend making a reservation, as it was still busy when we arrived, highlighting its popularity. We will definitely return!
They were very busy, we had booked a table but the walk ins had made them too stretched. The food took ages, the service was poor. Not all of the food came out at the same time. I had to ask where our food was twice. They did apologise when I complained and they knocked some money off the bill but I think they need to think about the service and how shocking it was. They said they were caught out with the walk ins but if they are at capacity for booked customers, maybe they should say they are fully booked and give a good service to the diners they have. If you pay for a meal out as a family, it's a treat and this experience certainly didn't feel like a treat. Which is sad as I expect they can do much better if they have the right level of staff to customers.
I made a last-minute reservation after visiting the Etches Collection across the street. Despite the restaurant being clearly busy throughout the day, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The service was impeccable, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend this place!
Overall good experience, however parking is an issue but I suppose it demonstrates the popularity) price is the upper end of acceptable, but both the meat and vegetables were very good.
