We actually stayed in the B&B in one of the ground floor rooms, dined in and the next morning enjoyed our breakfast. The surroundings are of breathtaking beauty and there are plentiful walking areas nearby. The surrounding buildings and cottages are charming offering a variety of options.
Our room was nice, the beds were comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean and overall enjoyable.
The food was super tasty and the attention to quality was appreciated. The breakfast was the standard full British, missing local produce but still nice.
Will certainly visit again later when the forbidden garden will open.
This restaurant had been recommended by family so we were eager to try it out, and wow is all I can say! The staff were really friendly, ensuring we were always catered for, as soon as our drinks were empty we were asked if we wanted another even though the restaurant was busy and fully booked. The wine was presented to us professionally each time. We visited on Sunday so it was the Sunday Lunch menu, and the food was on another level! There were several options, but you can get any 2 courses for £28 or 3 courses for £32, which we felt was a great deal considering the quality of the food was amazing. This restaurant also offers a vegan/vegetarian menu with plenty of choices meaning there is something for everyone! 2 of us opted for the two course and two opted for the three course.
To start, we all had the ham scrumpet, (pulled ham in breadcrumbs, with a hollandaise like sauce and a runny poached egg on top). This was very tasty and the egg was cooked to perfection, not too runny and not too hard.
For the mains, we ordered; the beef roast dinner, lamb roast dinner & the silver bream, prawn and salmon fishcake. The roast dinners were beautifully presented, the chef actually carves the meat in front of you at the table for you. The Yorkshire pudding which was probably the best Yorkshire pudding we’ve ever tasted, we think it had been cooked in beef dripping. The vegetables which consisted of greens, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and other roast veggies were placed on the tables in bowls so you could help yourself. The only minor thing that I could fault the dinner on was that you didn’t get much gravy, however I’m sure if we’d of asked for some more we would’ve been given some. For dessert we had the blackcurrant pavlova and the apple and cinnamon bread and butter pudding served with custard and ice cream. I would never normally opt for a bread and butter pudding but this dessert was so tasty! I loved that it had the apple and cinnamon flavouring to it as well. The pavlova was also very good, a light and refreshing to end the meal. Both of these desserts were also beautifully presented.
Overall, everything about this place was fantastic, from the food to the service, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely return here!
Situated in the old stables on pughill farm estate. Great for groups, families or couples. Great menu consisting of classic pub grub options. It’s done really nice though and a big step up from regular pub fare. Nice lighting and good service. Brews their own pale ale which is lovely. Really nice place for some food. Reasonably priced. 🐎 🥘 🍻
