Restaurants near The Smiler

Wonderful meal. We had the roast sirloin, so tender and perfectly cooked. Vegetables were wonderful, with a generous amount of cauliflower cheese. The roast potatoes were the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a good colour. Wonderful. My daughter had the toast pork and was delighted with the crackling. No room for dessert.

Really pleased with the service, food was really good, overall was a really pleasant experience which we will like to repeat.

First visit & won’t be my last. First time my son has come with us to a decent restaurant, 11 years old he had mussels, sirloin and a chocolate fondant. Loved everything he ate. Comte gougere- phenomenal!! Snacks through to dessert all cooked & presented well, can tell they use quality ingredients and have a kitchen team that can cook. Servers all polite and friendly. As a chef it’s hard to go out to eat and enjoy it however the Duncombe arms delivered great food, friendly unintrusive service at good value (£75 each snacks, 3 courses with service charge and tip too)

Lovely place, amazing food and great friendly service, a special Birthday lunch with the family, 5 star, well done to The Team at the Star

Another lovely meal, this time it was lunch. The staff were helpful with my dietary needs and nothing was too much trouble as chef could adapt the menu. This shows that it’s all cooked fresh.
