    The location is convenient for me because I volunteer at the nearby steam railway. But I commend this restaurant because the welcome is always friendly, the service attentive, and the food delicious. In addition, the Chef manages all kinds of novel, imaginative twists to add to traditional dishes. The price is a little on the high side, but I appreciate the hospitality industry faces significant costs.

    Our 2nd visit to The Print House and we enjoyed our evening again. The food was delicious and plentiful, the background music was at the right level and the service was excellent. Thank you!

    I came with 8 members of my family, including my 2 year old grandson, for a pre-Christmas meal and was so impressed by the attention of the team ensuring little one was happy which made a good time for all of us. The food was excellent in a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

    Sadly the food was well below the quality we expect from the Print House. We had loin of pork. The meat was plentiful and ok but was cold, the roast potatoes were lamentable - hard, tasteless undercooked. The vegetables were adequate. The starter and dessert were acceptable but were let down by the main, especially the roast potatoes. Shame, and not a cheap meal. Must do better.

    Lovely venue, lovely staff, the young blond lad (apologies I don’t get his name but he was new) was particularly great. Well done that man!

    Interiors colourful and comfortable. Excellent waiter who brought us our drinks by the fire. Female manager/ owner perhaps a little too attentive- flapping about lighting, smoke from fire, could she take a chair etc etc...we were just there to relax! Plus not ideal having a staff meeting right behind us on a Friday eve in the dining room. Food ok- not sure we'd return though. Shame-we had had high hopes!
