A charming restaurant with a limited menu during the review period, featuring quality lentil soup and toasties. The service was friendly, with a clean and comfortable dining area. However, some diners experienced disappointing food quality. Despite this, the staff received high praise for their attentiveness and service. The restaurant offers great value for money with generous portions and fantastic vegetarian options. Guests also enjoyed a variety of gin selections and outstanding food quality, making it a must-visit spot in a beautiful country setting. Overall, a delightful dining experience worth revisiting for its delicious food and warm hospitality.
