A big disppointment. Myself and my family went Ramblers Rest yesterday. The staff were friendly and the drinks enjoyable.
The disppointment was the food, I had poached egg for starter. The egg was really over cooked and the whole dish lacked any seasoning. When I told the waitress, she said that I should have told her and she would have bought me salt and pepper.
The main course of steak was asked for rare, but came very well done. This was sent back to the kitchen and a better steak was bought out. The watercress that accompained the steak was yellow.
We also ordered a pizza which was good.
All in all, for over £80 for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 1 child's pizza, a bottle of wine, a beer and a juice, it was a big disappointment.

I love eating out, and I like to pride myself that I have been to a fair number of good places, (and bad ones). But on visiting the Ramblers Rest on the whim of my fiancée didn't prepare me for what I was about to experience. The food was soo good I would quite easily say it was the best I have had in the last 7 years. Presentation, food, service, décor, all absolutely spot on. And what surprised me even more was the price, two main meals, a desert, two glasses of wine, two beers and a coffee came to just over £40. Very good food, at a fantastic price. Well worth going out your way to visit which I would say was probably the only draw back to this place. That it was in the middle of nowhere.
The split bar/restaurant method which seems to be becoming more and more popular with gastro pubs these days works very very well. The food area is cosy, close, warm and quite. While the pub area is open and buzzy. The whole place is decorated very very nicely with oddities to look at everywhere. Such as the scull of some antlered grazing animal on the wall of one room, and a sofa decked out with dogs and dog patterned stools and, a dog skin rug! But after closer inspection it was most definitely fake, having such a thing would be beyond imagining...
Still, a fantastic place to eat. I really can't say how good the food was except it was the best I have had for a long time.
A character pub with a dog friendly dining area. Tables can be booked online. Our food was generous in portion sizes, and well presented.
