We ordered the seasonal pre-Christmas lunch, which was amazing - the portions were large, the food was hot, tasty, and well presented. The restaurant is dog-friendly, as is the entire hotel. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

This was a humiliating situation, as I had explained that I had made a booking over the phone. I was questioned about who I had spoken to, which made me feel like I was being accused of lying. If I had been informed that the restaurant was closed when I called, I would have made alternate arrangements for my husband's birthday celebration. I have dined at Earls restaurant multiple times in the past and always had a positive experience before the pandemic. However, it seems that there may have been changes in management since then. As a result of this disappointing experience, I will not be returning to this restaurant. My husband and I were left feeling embarrassed and let down. The restaurant needs to improve their booking system to avoid similar incidents in the future.

The portion was very large and definitely worth the wait. I would love to come back and try it again sometime.

If you are going to opt for the Gentleman's Tea be advised , you'll probably need elasticated waist trousers if you plan on eating everything. The scotch egg (about the size of a cricket ball) was amazing and the homemade chilli jam that accompanied the cheese scone was superb. However, it's not just the food that makes this place so special it's the management and staff too who really do take pride in the work and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We will be regular customers Thank you Earls.
