    Another wonderful meal at the West House. I love that the service is spot on but also relaxed at the same time. The food was delicious as usual. Love this restaurant.

    The service was excellent (casual but attentive), and the food was delicious. My wife was delighted with the specific gluten free menu which had been prepared for her.

    Birthday meal Set menu with dishes we probably would not have chosen normally but have to say that they were very well presented and tasted lovely. Had great help with choosing the accompanying wines and loved the little extras. We have been a few times now and have never been disappointed.
