"To start I had the Norfolk crab which had so much flavour, the crab had the perfect consistency and the accompanying sides worked so well with the dish."
"Good food overall especially the starters: scallops cooked well, tasty accompaniments."
"Every course we had the plates were collected completely empty! Great flavours."
"The food was absolutely divine. The steak was done to perfection and my husband said the duck was melt in the mouth delicious."
"The food was absolutely epic!"
"The food at this place was outstanding and well worth the price."
"If you are looking for a quality meal beautifully presented you will find it here. Amazing flavours in every course."
Cons:
"The pork roast crackling is too salty for my liking."
"The main was a little salty due to the chorizo and capers."
"When you're paying over £50 for 2 courses as a couple, you expect tasty decent food, and this massively missed the mark."
"The main was unfortunately even more of a let down. Overcooked lamb, with inedible fatty parts served, thin jus/gravy, and literally everything on the plate was bland."
"Some of it too salty, oily and same taste."
"The starter was bland: everything was underseasoned and the mushroom sauce overpowered the whole dish."
"I didn't like the Yorkshire pudding as it was like a sponge cake."
Service
Pros:
"The staff were friendly and welcoming, service was fast."
"The staff were great although the restaurant was very busy and the staff were a bit pushed which meant we did have to wait a little for table clearance between courses."

"Staff were friendly and they were very attentive."
"Service was fabulous the staff really go the extra mile.... They even found an earring I had lost could not fault them."

"Attentive and friendly staff made for a truly great experience."
Cons:
"The service was unfortunately not great."
"Our experience was let down by the service which was inattentive to the point of wondering if we'd been forgotten."
"Service was extremely slow. We had to remind staff we were waiting for each of our courses."
"Service very poor. Took well over two hours to have two courses."
"Service OK (again clearly understaffed today) but when another table thought it appropriate to play a video on a mobile with very loud music for at least 5 minutes, this wasn't challenged at all."
"Service could sharpen up a bit in terms of steps, checks backs and dish explanation where missing."
"We were informed brusquely by a male staff member that we could not place our order until the time of our booking."
Atmosphere

"The atmosphere is noisy."
"Chaotic atmosphere and clearly understaffed."
"It wasn't great either having all the nearby tables being set for the evening service at once."
"We were shocked by the Managers comment quote 'unfortunately the scheme is attracting the wrong type of people coming into our restaurant.'"
"Booked for 2pm and had to wait 20mins for our table."
Value
Pros:
"The portion sizes are significant given how artistically they're presented!"
"The accompanying wine flight was also a bargain."
"2 courses for £20 or 3 for £30, so not cheap but very much worth it."
"A great place to go for a special event and I look forward to go back to try something else on the menu."
"Great country atmosphere, tasting menu is a steal at £50 and food was top notch."
"The ‘menu du jour’ offers excellent value for money."

Cons:
"I also thought the prices were creeping up and overtaking the overall quality of the dining experience."
"I left feeling hungry which after paying £40 for one course and a couple of drinks, I should not be experiencing."
"This is quite an expensive restaurant, budget £60 for three courses."
"Well over priced."
"When you're paying over £50 for 2 courses as a couple, you expect tasty decent food, and this massively missed the mark."
"Service good but very disappointed with the portion size and price."
"Overall, I'd say overpriced for what it was."
Facilities
Pros:
"The tables are beautiful and unique, wooden tables from a single piece of wood."
"The terrace outside was a lovely place for a family meal (and they even made our dog feel welcome!)."
"The setting is smart and relaxed rather than stuffy or oppressive."
"Wonderful food served on beautifully HOT plates."
"They must have overheard us talking about my birthday and I had a lovely 'Happy Birthday' plate brought out with our coffee and liqueur."
"It was great to be able to go out for a meal in a relaxing environment in spite of all the Covid restrictions."
"They are exceptional good with dietary requirements and intolerances."
