It was another gastro-pub evening. I was invited to another office dinner. Apparently, this is one of the go-to-places for people in the office.
This place was a bit far out but well worth the drive. It had a nice English vibe, with a good outdoor seating area for warmer days. The staffs here were cheerful and nice, adding warmth to an already cozy atmosphere.
I went for a three-course meal composed of goats cheese croquette for starter, roast fillet of cod for main course and milk chocolate pannacotta for dessert. All three dishes were well presented. Everything looked appetising on the plate. The croquette was good. The goat cheese was thick and smooth and went well with the salt baked beetroot. The cod fish came with seaweed dumplings, samphire and mussels with curry cream. The cod fish was ok. It was cooked well - moist and easy to flake - but a bit short on seasoning. They should have served more cream on the side for the fish. That could have added flavour to the dish. I am not a fan of mussels but I tried one and it was fine. It was however, the seaweed dumpling that stood out for me. It was well-seasoned, lightly salty and totally tasty. The pannacotta was wonderful. It came with small chunks of pistachio bread, milk ice cream and chocolate sauce. The pannacotta itself was smooth, creamy and delicious. Adding the chocolate sauce adds another layer of flavour and made the bread chunks taste even better. The ice cream acted like a palate cleanser that was handy after each scoop of the pannacotta. I was glad I did not mix everything together because eating eat element on its own alternately allowed me to savour each bite even more.
This place rates highly in my book for its relaxed ambiance, great service and good food.
I will definitely go there again . The freshly baked bread , the best salmon I have eaten , my friends also loved the veg food and the simple home made ice cream was simply fantastic
Been 3 Times, & Will Go Again!. Beautiful setting, gorgeous food, friendly staff, nice (little) bar.
Booking advised, although 2 of my 3 visits were spur of the moment and they squeezed me in both times! :0)
Great choice - bordering fine-dining with their beautifully presented food.
I've been for dinner twice and lunch once. All beautifully presented. Dinner for two cost me about £75 (starters and mains, with wine too), and lunch came to £45ish for 2 starters, 2 mains, and 1 dessert.
