   Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. The booking for 1800 for 4 people was for 2 hrs, which seemed long enough when booking. But the servers politely told us when we had just received our desserts that the people who had booked our table for 2000 were waiting. It was now 2020, and we could see disgruntled people perched on the bar stools (the only other available seating)! We had arrived a little early and orders were taken promptly. We were not aware of any delays in the service. Some of the meals were perhaps slow to eat such as fajitas and an ice cream sundae (all delicious). We had met up with friends we had not seen for some months, so perhaps a bit of talking -but isn't that the whole idea? We would have enjoyed a coffee afterwards. We felt that we would be pretty annoyed if we had arrived for a 2000 booking and were still waiting in uncomfortable seating at 2020. So we left some food and packed up as soon as we could (2030). It was an abrupt end to a really pleasant evening. So advice to future customers- If you had just a main course, you would be unlikely to be hungry with the generous portions. Maybe this is a summer venue. There is plenty of outdoor seating to take your puds and enjoy a drink. Advice to the venue- extend your booking times to 2.5 or 3hrs, at least in the winter. Or possibly warn your customers on the table that is onward booked that there is only time for 1 course. We noticed that there were people who had been there before us, who were not being replaced - I think you have a longer time allowance for bigger parties.

   Lovely restaurant not far from home, only a couple of villages away. The food was quick to order & the tastes were great, all fresh ingredients.

   Food was beautiful, but disappointed that there was an extra charge of over £23 added to the bill as we were classed as a party, there was 6 of us my husband, myself and our 4 kids, not really a party just my family.

   The food here is wonderful. I would totally recommend the prawn and smoked salmon stack. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free and vegan options. The server was very helpful and checked with the chef about the lactose content of the dish for me. It was god to see people having a drink at the bar as well as lots of folk dining in the restaurant area.
