Ok so planned a return the next day, minus said dog, for a predinner drink and to look at possibly eating there at some point. Refused entry once again this time told residents only, yet their pavement signage stated non residents welcome. Their answer was due to staff shortages and the sign on the wall cannot be altered to suit. Refusal on two occasions was too much so we voted with our feet and cancelled our booking at their sister hotel and spent our well earned money at another independent in the town and had lovely service.

The service was not as great as ever and maybe that is due to the current challenges we are all experiencing. Our booking had been lost, there were no steak knives (three out of four of our party had steak), our drinks were spilt when being served and there was no bread. The main waiter was great and all the other staff were very good, but a lot of new faces and maybe still training. Table, drinks and food were great though and does not put us off going again, just not quite as polished as visits before very high standard they've set. Would 100% still recommend as somewhere to eat and drink.

Superb food and wine at a reasonable price, we would definitely go again when in the area read more Superb food and wine at a reasonable price, we would definitely go again when in the area
