Tawny Owl Restaurant offers a charming atmosphere with friendly service, making it a popular choice for both casual dining and special occasions. While the old-world decor adds to its appeal, the food experience appears to be inconsistent. Guests have praised dishes like the steak and venison pie, while others have reported disappointment with items such as the pie of the day and fish and chips. Celebratory meals have received high marks for quality and presentation, highlighting the attentive and accommodating staff. Overall, while the restaurant has much to commend, there’s room for improvement in the kitchen to meet expectations consistently.
