We visited the restaurant for a meal on a Thursday evening. The restaurant area was very clean, staff were lovely and the food was fantastic! The portions were generous and freshly prepared. Service was quick. We will definitely be back! A great place with fantastic food!!
The first thing to note about the fountain Inn is that it's no longer a public house, purely a restaurant with rooms. Having said that there is a bar here and residents are permitted to use it as such. Though the bar covers most requirements the choices are limited to bottles or keg beers and the prices are slightly above the average for the area, check out the photos on their website but don't be fooled by the one showing old speckled hen and rev. James.
The food is good quality and the portions are generous and, unlike the beer, are competitively priced using predominantly fresh ingredients (I can't speak for every meal they serve). The service was exceptional and the room comfortable, if a little space restrictive, with all the basic requirements for a short break.
The location was pleasant, very little within easy walking distance but plenty within a short drive (even the nearest pub was around 2 miles away).
One thing that may be of note to anyone who has difficulty with steps and stairs the disabled access is quite limited. The front entrance is disabled friendly as is an amount of the main restaurant with a ground floor disabled toilet facility, all others are accessed via a flight of stairs. Outside seating is plentiful but all on stepped terraces with no access to any without using a stairway that we could see. Being on the side of a hill they've done well with the layout but please note that getting from the car park, at the rear of the restaurant, to the front door (in order to avoid several short flights of stairs) involves going up and down a fairly steep slope.
Lovely place for lunch with kids. Not fancy but good quality and absolutely immaculately clean and well-maintained. They obviously take a great deal of pride in both the place and the service they provide.
