The food is delicious, the staff is incredibly helpful and polite, and they go above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. I now hold business meetings here and my colleagues always enjoy every aspect of the restaurant. Kudos to Zoe and her team for their professionalism and accommodating service. I will definitely be returning soon.

It was empty in the restaurant the bar area had a couple of visitors at best. Disappointing. My meal (lasagne) was overcooked to the extent that it was burnt around the sides. There was hardly any meat in the sauce just sauce and burnt sauce around the edges. Salad very poor indeed a little bit of sad looking lettuce and not much else. The garlic bread was very overdone too and barely edible. Could have returned the meal but it would have meant my meal was out of cinque with the rest of my party. Sister in law’s macaroni cheese was equally overcooked. The portions were very small and rather mean except for fish and chips or gammon neither of which I wanted. They cannot blame being busy on the poor state of the food so I can only conclude it was a distinct lack of care. I wish I could find something positive to say about the meal oh yes the pudding was nice, but it didn't need cooking just serving up! The pub itself had seen better days it looked rundown and distinctly unloved, especially from the outside. Ember Inns are usually good with great food, we enjoyed a fabulous meal in another Ember Inn across the city last February but The Hemlock Stone falls short by quite a way. Such a shame.

Then was told that they don't know when the chefs will be back from break, so whenever they come back they're back.
