About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
A traditional restaurant complete with low ceilings, beams, real fires and a cosy bar still frequented by the locals, it’s the pride of place pizza oven that makes Caesar @ Dolphin stand out from many village inns. That and the seasonal menu of big-flavoured dishes underpinned by strong technical skill

    Had such a good 'Ladies Night' here on Friday night! Lovely atmosphere, food was excellent! Staff were so good! A bit weird having to order 2 drinks at a time, would prefer just one, but overall excellent and will be back!

    A friendly welcome. Prompt service. Very good menu selection: although five of the six of us chose the salmon 'special'! The beef tagliatelle was also very good. One son commented that Caesar's can always be counted on for a good meal. When they saw the shared seafood platter on a neighbouring table they suffered food envy! A lovely, relaxed evening. Thank you.

    The overall experience was really great. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was excellent. I thanked the chef as it was my birthday treat from my friends.
