Venue and Atmosphere
Pros:
"I recently had my baby shower in their marquee area in the garden, a perfect area for this type of event."
"We had the party in the heated decked marquee in the garden and even in October it was lovely and warm."
"The garden area is fantastic when it's sunny."
"Such a beautiful garden setting (you should have a picture of it on a large board outside) very peaceful and relaxed."
"The backyard is beautiful! The mint tea I had here is the best mint tea I have ever had."
"The setting is so pretty, we enjoyed sitting outside in the marque...love the sweet autumn decorations!"
"What a great place, the service was really friendly, the food was delicious, and the cafe/restaurant was a lovely countryside spot."
"The garden was beautiful and the marquee, despite being open and airy, felt warm and cosy with overhead heaters and subtle decorations."
Cons:
"Tough lukewarm steak in barely warm sauce. Potatoes that were hard and barely warm."
"The table was dirty. Given our food straight on that table. We had to ask for a cloth."
"The place was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. We had a delicious fresh breakfast which was sourced locally and served by the friendly staff."
"The hand dryer is ineffective."
"Toilets had run out of hand soap and hand towels and didn't seem to get replenished."
"The area is very pleasant but the service was so slow we had to ask where are drinks were after waiting 45 minutes."
"Our table had not been cleaned as we arrived so staff had to clean it first."
"Just stopped for a cup of tea. Two of us had a pot of tea to share. Lovely tea, but we were surprised to find that three items of the crockery we were using had chips in them."
Food and Drink
Pros:
"The afternoon tea was reasonably priced and was delicious, there wasn’t much left by the end!"
"The best full breakfast we enjoyed all year, can't wait to return. Every bit was extra special."
"Coeliac safe afternoon tea! Knowledgeable and understanding staff. Delicious gluten free afternoon tea almost identical to 'normal' afternoon tea."
"Had the breakfast buffet, which is basically all the breakfast dishes on a serving platter. Scrambled egg perfect. Bacon, perfect. Thick cut ham perfect."
"The food was amazing, especially the quiche of the day, we even managed pudding despite feeling stuffed but didn't want to miss out."
"Had a fantastic birthday surprise here and would like to thank the staff, especially Annie who looked after us."
"The food and service is excellent. Also at the site there is a really good small garden centre with beautiful plants and other unique items for the garden."
"I have been to this place 3 times or so. And each time they don't fail to amaze me. So full of flavor and so yumm!!! Their sticky toffee pudding is to die for."
Cons:
"Tough lukewarm steak in barely warm sauce. Potatoes that were hard and barely warm."
"No option for veg or salad with it."
"Combined disabled and baby change toilet facilities almost vomited after the meal as the stench of the nappies was overwhelming."
"The food was fine my fish cakes were lovely but the beef burger was overcooked and the fish was dry."
"We had the roast sharing platter and it was five star. They staff managed to squeeze us in with an early lunch table under the marquee which meant we could enjoy the feast while staying dry."
"Made a BIG mistake by ordering a steak....... please take it off your menu until you employ a chef who knows how to cook a steak."
"Service was slow, but otherwise a nice spot that is child friendly and has adequate parking."
"Very disappointed have ate here lots of times but the Sunday lunch they served. Yesterday was very poor meat very fatty carrots roasted no color whatsoever."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"They put us in a nice quiet corner so the dog could be chilled. Plenty of gluten free options for our GF child, service was wonderful."
"We had the party in the heated decked marquee in the garden and even in October it was lovely and warm. The atmosphere was perfect."
"Staff were friendly and the gardens is beautiful."
"Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Will be back and recommend to friends!"
"I love their roasts too. I have brought few of my friends and they love this place too. Will come again."
"The service was extremely friendly but it did take a little while to get things to our table. In all honesty though, these are strange times and they are no doubt adapting to the situation."
"The service was second to none, and the ambience was spot on. I'm so happy we tried it, won't be the last time I pay it a visit. Superb."
"The gentleman that served us went above and beyond to make my son’s 10th birthday breakfast special."
Cons:
"We were told that they weren't taking walk-ins as they were too busy. So we asked if we could sit on one of the four empty benches as we had walked an hour."
"The gentleman that served us went above and beyond to make my son’s 10th birthday breakfast special. (I booked last minute and didn’t tell them it was his birthday in advance)."
"Upon walking into this establishment we felt unwelcomed. I walked up to the bar and about 5 staff members ignored us."
"The food was fine my fish cakes were lovely but the beef burger was overcooked and the fish was dry. We would of had sweets but decided we didnt have time sorry vey disappointed."
"Waited 35 min for a sandwich and a scone. No apologies from the staff about the delay when we politely asked when they would come."
"We had the worst experience ever today 2 hrs waiting for our food and when it did arrive was cold and barely cooked. Sorry only after over an hour we complained to be told there had been a problem with the order going through the system."
"Our waitress, Benne, was exceptional. She was attentive, professional and had a fab personality. Nothing was too much trouble."
"It was the Jubilee weekend, so the menu had been changed, the music was all "roll out the barrel" and an out door BBQ was set up just outside the door, so eye watering smoke was blowing through the restaurant."
