A bit out of the way place but its reputation outways that and I didn't score it down..a little jem in the middle of now where! Staff were very friendly and attentive when we arrived...they have numerous rooms that are able to cater for parties of larger numbers or rooms for couples..looking at the room we were in I can imagine it being cosy in the winter with fire crackling in the background ( we went in September) I ordered chicken and brandy pate and my boyfriend ordered salt and pepper chicken wings both came in a short time and were delicious..I had a good size piece of pate which complimented the red onion marmalade and sour dough bread beautifully..I cant answer for the salt and pepper wings as I didnt try them but he did enjoy them and polished off his dish! Even though the place started to fill up with bookings where we were sat was great as we could still hear each other talk over other people's conversations..there was a room on the other end of the place with lots of tables for parties of 4 so i don't know what it would have been like noise wise! I had ordered osso buco for a main course which was beef shin with a saffron risotto and lemon and garlic and parsley dressing..I'd never tried it before and I'm glad I did! The beef shin was massive and I've got a good appetite but I struggled to finish it! It was melt in your mouth delicious and everything with it on the plate blended together perfectly. My boyfriend ordered haddock in beer batter and that too was huge over spilling the plate next to the beautifully cooked chips on the side accompanied by mushy peas. He polished the plate with a struggle which is unusual for him! And said he'd definitely have that again. Because our bellies were full we had to pass on the great choice of desserts but when we come again ( and we definitely will) we'll try the desserts. Overall I give it five stars for a beautiful place with excellent food and attentive staff and price on the menu that reflects that.
