I was there on 28th March for my sister-in-law’s birthday, party of 6, who had eaten there before. The interior and decor was old, quirky and nice decor. This is marketed as a ‘high-end’ restaurant….We ordered starters which were delicious. 3 of us ordered sirloin steak (no other cuts available)for main course, served with a spiced butter sauce. I asked for a traditional peppercorn sauce instead as I enjoy that. The steaks were served. I asked about the peppercorn sauce and the waiter replied that ‘the chef did not have the ingredientes ’. This was insulting and arrogant. A chef who does not have cream and peppercorns in the kitchen; really ? Surely a chef should be flexible and indulge the customer with a simple request even if not on the menu. The 3 steaks were ordered medium-rare, no blood. Mine was raw, nor rare, it was purple meat. The waiter came back and offered replacments. The replacement steak was hot and cooked perfectly.That sucked the atmosphere out of the evening and we left without having puddings.We paid £68 for a bottle of Rioja given the special occasion. It transpires it can be purchased for £28, probably less to the restaurant in bulk. Why the obscene mark up? Yes, I can understand maybe £15 mark up but £40. Absolutely ridiculous and greedy!!On the way out the owners, the lady who took our order and the chef were sat in the bar. NO apology was made for the mistake. This lack of humility was arrogant.As a comparison, I took my family to The Raven Inn in Welshpool for Easter Sunday lunch. The menu was extensive and every dish homemade. The Sunday carvery was delicious.The staff were fantastic and I told the manager who I know about our disappointment experience at Rhubarb and that I wished we had the same quality of food as the Raven, who, incidentally have a choice of 4 cuts of steak!Food & drinks: I was there on 28th March for my sister-in-law’s birthday, party of 6, who had eaten there before.

Deliciously flavoursome Sunday lunch served in delightful olde world but luxurious surroundings. Efficient, prompt friendly service & a 70’s soul soundtrack enhancing the atmosphere. Superb ?

Gary Howorth
Lovely coffee in superb setting with lovely staff.
Tori Beardmore
Stunning, as always. Thanks guys!
Gavin Phillips
Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food ?
Frances Dale
Lovely friendly staff, great food and a roaring log fire to greet us. A two minute walk into town to experience a variety of independent shops to suit all tastes.Comfortable bed, a lovely light room and room to sit and read.The extraordinary dining room is something to behold, you almost expect to see Nearly Headless Nick float by.We look forward to returning.

The service and location are excellent. There's very little to dislike about the food (apart from the terribly scrapy plates!) My major quibble is the price which I felt is too much for what you get, particularly the wine. HArd to fault in many ways but excellent Sunday lunches are available at a more competitive price in the area.

Enjoyed lovely Sunday lunch. Food fantastic, as was atmosphere and service. Spoilt only by a yapping dog - perhaps the place should review their policy of allowing dogs into the bar area. One of them emitted a regular high pitched “yap” which made everyone jump!Apart from that, everything was wonderful. Food perfectly cooked. Would definitely return.
Stunning medieval hall to stop for lunch to celebrate our friends' 60th Birthday?. Made to feel very welcome in the warm, atmospheric setting full of history and charm; lovely, attentive staff. The service was wonderful and the food plentiful, presented beautifully, and absolutely delicious at a ridiculous price for the quality. Wish we all had a Rhubab at Drapers. Thankyou for the candles ??

Lovely atmosphere in very atmospheric and interesting historical surroundings in 15th century oak panelled dining room. Our food was exceptional. Wine was excellent. All round good value and a great experience. We would definitely eat there again.
