Well what a place to visit......my husband treated me for our anniversary and I have to say the flavours of the food were amazing! I am a little fussy with some foods and was recommended by our waiter Mitchell to try the BBQ pigs cheek and at first I was very apprehensive but wow it was tasty- so glad for the recommendation. The cracker, bread, starter, main and dessert were all presented with finesse and almost looked to good to eat! My only slight criticism was that my chicken on my main was cold so it has left me to put 4 stars instead of 5 which I feel bad for however it is justified as for such a high quality establishment this was so unexpected. I did eat it without any complaint as I wanted to eat my food with my husband and not on my own- unfortunately I did not recieve any apology and was just told the kitchen would be informed. I would still recommend and if this happened again I would speak up sooner as we do plan to visit again. All staff were friendly and every time we got served they explained all that was on our plates- what a lovely touch!
We went to The Boat Inn last night for a meal and we were very impressed. The pub has been very tastefully refurbished and has a welcoming atmosphere, you are greeted on entering the restaurant.
The food was fantastic from thestarter to the sweet with lots of extra chef's special courses in between and a choice of about 3 choices on the set menu. There's also a taster menu for an additional £30. I couldn't fault the food, it was wonderful and the service was perfect - we counted approximately 11 staff including the chefs and everyone was very attentive as you would expect from an upmarket establishment. There was a good selection of beers on tap and an extensive wine list. Altogether it's a lovely place to eat and we will definitely be going back 👍
Following a previous bad visit a couple of years ago, we were convinced to try the boat out again.
We were pleasantly surprised in the change of attitude of staff and the atmosphere was so much better, with the tables being spaced out better and food improved ten fold.
There was slight mis-timing between food and wine, with the sommelier still explaining the wine when the food arrived, and the wait staff having to manoeuvre around the glasses on the table, but on the whole the staff were pleasant, and helpful and the whole experience was definitely positive
