Recently ate here, and was very happy with the quality of the food, the speed and quality of service, and the overall atmosphere and decor of the restaurant.
The scallop dish from the a la carte menu was superb. The delicate flavours were perfectly balanced and I felt the portion size was appropriate.
The main course of pan seared duck didn’t quite match the level of the starter, but was still very pleasant with the well presented vegetable accompaniments. The 5 spice dressing/sauce suited the other ingredients very well and the salad items were fresh and full of flavour.
The dessert was really the star of the show. Although it was very well presented, I was at first underwhelmed with the individual flavours of the Black Forest dessert. BUT, then I started to combine them on the plate and was so incredibly impressed. I can honestly say that it was the best dessert I have had for, probably, a few years.
The overall experience was very positive, and I would recommend this restaurant for a wide range of occasions/types of visit. I visited while I was staying in the adjoining Cantley House Hotel on a business trip, but the restaurant would be ideal for a couples visit or for a group of friends.
Lovely setting, not within Cantley House itself, but right next to it. Converted from an old stable the restaurant has lovely original features like the steel stable separators and wooden beams. Had an afternoon tea with free glass of pimms. Food was lovely although our Eton mess had gone off. When we asked for new ones we had an apology from the chef and discounted bill for the soured cream. Very enjoyable experience, reasonably priced, but still pricey at £20 per head for afternoon tea.
