This is our third time to dine here. Myself and my partner came here on our first date and have marked the occasion by returning for a meal on the day each year. Its a lovely, intimate and tastefully decorated room in the castellated section of a great house which was later converted to a hotel. Stained glass windows look out on to a moat. The restaurant is AA Rosette 2*. The food quality and preparation is faultless. The wine selection is very good. The prices are in line with what can be expected in an establishment such as this. The staff are very polite and friendly but not stuffy. The chap who served us on 4th October was a lovely guy. We both enjoyed our food immensely and they don't skimp on portions (it's not nouvelle cuisine) so much so that I skipped what looked like an excellent selection of dessert and finished with a double espresso. I don't know if I'll wait another year for our fourth visit. Its too good!

My father and I came for a Friday evening meal as we were looking for a regular quality local venue, I had forgotten about this little oasis and hadn't been since a wedding many years ago. We were both very impressed, beautiful scenic grounds and lovely country house internal decoration and ambience. The staff were very polite, friendly and attentive and by that I mean everyone from reception, bar staff, restaurant staff. We felt very welcome, the food was of a very high quality and reasonably priced taking into account the exception quality and venue location which is steeped in history. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you for a lovely evening

I was blown away by the quality of the food. We had the tasting menu and it was incredible! The chefs even prepared a special extra course based on something we mentioned we liked the look of on an old menu. Cannot recommend enough for a special meal!

Second time eating in the restaurant. Very good food both times. Staff very friendly. Only minor criticism is that the service could be a bit better. We’ll be back regularly though.

We went here for a relatives birthday. Really bad service from start to finish. No water, had to ask several times for this. The wrong wine was served. The vegan options were appalling. Basically cauliflower as a starter and main. No thought or imagination, just a piece of cauliflower roasted with some limp veg. No potatoes with it so was still starving afterwards. One small bowl of carrots and cabbage between 7 people!! just ridiculous. No one bothered to clear the plates between courses. No cutlery was given for dessert. We asked several times for dessert options and the waiting staff said they would go and ask and never returned. It's 2022, loads of people are cutting out meat and dairy and this place really needs to move with the times.

This restaurant has a lovely setting in the old hall. It just a shame about the quality of the food. My starter was tasty but my partners wasn't. For the main course we both had venison which was over cooked and had a lot of sinew. The potato was virtually raw. I cannot see how this restaurant has an AA rosette restaurant, unless the chef had Easter off

Staff were friendly but service was disorganised. Special food requests to the chef were ignored, however rectified once pointed out. More was expected of the experience as a whole. Good management would resolve all issues hope they get it in check. Look forward to trying them again soon.
