What a great experience, it started with helpful e mails from them.
Arrived there and managed to park right outside. Went in and from the start the waiter was so helpful and genuinely interested in me as a customer.
First thing was a freebie of bread with Balsamic vinegar and oil waiter was pleased to say he had put more balsamic than usual in it, great decision.
Ordered a seafood platter, which was quite exceptional, there were some superb touches, like mussel shell plate, finger bowl and spoon for broth. Each element of the platter wasbeautifully cooked, the whitebait had just the right amount of coating, the gougons were well cooked and the prawns delicious. The portion was so big I didn't complete it as I wanted room for dessert.
I ordered a mix of raspberry and champagne sorbet both of which were very good, not the best I have ever had but certainally "up there"
Afterwards I had a very new CEO double espresso with a shortcake biscuit all for £25.50 an really great price for the food. The menu us quite varied and there are some great reduced proce options when I visited too.
Toilets were beautifully clean too!
Everything about this restaurant is delightful and well worth the 100 mile round trip!
Must admit it was a very quiet evening but it's a great place to go. On a busy night I suspect booking would be vital.
This a quality dining experience. Fabulous meet and greet at the door coupled with a lovely waitress who couldn't stop smiling.
The food was fabulous - I recommend the seafood platter. Dessert was equally edible.
Tiny flaw, the lady cleaning the table next to us was spraying something unpleasant as we ate. I'm splitting hairs now as this is such a great place to go and it won't stop us coming back, but perhaps spray the cleaning agent into the cloth rather than 'waft' it towards those eating?
Staff friendly, helpful and happy, cant stand miserable staff! Room excellent although was a bit disappointed we didn’t get one in the older building. We got one in the ‘newer’ victorian house at the back! Everything spotless. Green room dinner was very good and a great breakfast. All in all a good english hotel.
