We had a brilliant evening at the restaurant of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and the new chef John surprised us with outstanding food, served in the most beautiful way. They so much convinced us, that we also got them in for a catering just a few days later. Another superb experience!

Food was good however what was described was not actually what was necessarily served. Servers also did not know what was on the menu. Very expensive and very small portions.

My wife and I were slightly surprised at how good the food was. We asked to eat outside as the weather was really nice, and we're avoiding crowded spaces as much as possible. That seemed to cause some organisational problems, but when the food finally arrived it was excellent. We had artichoke soup, scallops, haddock and chips, and risotto, and it was all well above average. The price was fair for the quality, and we would definitely return.

Superb food from the new chef and excellent service. Also a great outdoor area for our toddler to hang out in. A rare opportunity for us to eat such fantastic food while our 3 year old was catered for. Visited end of August 2021 and will be back again.

Really super food - the seafood tagliatelle on our first visit was so good, we has to return to try the Shredded Feather Beef, which did not disappoint. Might have to return to try the rest of the menu. Super service, good Covid precautions and really nice wine as well. Super views as well. I would highly recommend eating here. Thank you

Went for dinner and couldnt fault it. The food and service were excellent. I had the lamb and it was a delight. My partners had the salmon and thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend.
