There were 5 of us in the group and 3 had already placed their orders, we were next in line to place our order but were then told that the kitchen was closed and holding orders for the next 20 minutes. We explained that we were with the people in front of us in the queue but were told we couldnt place our order yet. All we wanted were baguettes. Subsequently half our party received and ate their food while we sat and watched. After airing our views to the young gentleman who served the food, he went back and asked if we could place our order yet. Finally, after the rest of our party had finished their food, we were able to order ours, even though by that time, we were all ready to leave for the day. Although the food was tasty, we felt this treatment of us was a little unnecessary letting only half of our party eat at one time.

They offer food from two menus a bar menu in their main bars, outside if weather permits and a separate menu in their restaurant area. We booked the restaurant area, and I would recommend booking if you can as the whole venue was busy and that on a Tuesday night. I suspect a number of the dinners where staying overnight….at least judging by their alcohol intake I hoped so! The food was excellent in terms of quality, portion size and presentation. An evening helped along by an efficient and friendly serving team. We had three courses, all plates where returned empty. The restaurant menu was much the same as the one on line, so they are clearly focusing on a few well prepared dishes. An extensive wine list was available…sadly we were driving. The food merited a five star rating but I’ve reduced this down as the restaurant had a very dated feel to it…I suspect they want it that way, but I felt it could do with a little upgrade.

The setting is great, just a few paces from the clapper bridge. As it was raining we ate inside but outside seating would be great in dry weather. The food was fine quality my burger was clearly homemade and tasty. Very comfortable bar area. Staff efficient and friendly.
