    Such a lovely experience at The Dally this afternoon! We both had an amazing roast beef with a side of the cauliflower cheese (gorgeous) and a fab apple crumble to finish off. The staff are so welcoming and the restaurant has such a lovely ambience to it. Overall a great experience at our favourite local, can’t wait to be back again soon!

    What an interesting daily changing menu. Second visit and had the suet crust pie both times. It's really big, thought I'd only eat half but somehow it all disappeared. This visit was beef, bacon and mushroom. Only comment both times, I like a bit more gravy in it, but we're all different. We had with leek gratin- probably a million calories but so worth it, and cabbage with chilli oil. We were utterly full but fortunately ignored and shared/fought over a chocolate pot with cherries. They were really busy- on a dark freezing cold Monday night in January, so obviously very popular. Interesting wine list but regrettably on a dry night. Another reason to return. Sunday lunch looks amazing.
