Another fantastic dinner last night at the Inn , so unusual to find a menu where you are always tempted by every dish on it, superb fillet steak, efficient friendly service, and a wonderful wine list, what more could you ask for on a cold winters evening !

The service was reasonable, staff were young, however, always serve from the left do not stretch over the table with a plate across others! As someone who thinks food is over rated and has never watched a "food programme" on the box in my life, I found the food to be very well suited to my pallet, it was fresh and with some interesting ways it had been cooked. I would recommend and happily return it was a relaxing evening.

The setting is lovely, the menu is interesting, the staff are very well trained and charming and the wine list is extensive. The food is really gorgeous, tasty, well presented .....I have eaten here many times over the last 15 or so years whilst visiting friends in the area and have rarely been disappointed. Well done everyone at the Inn!If I lived nearer than 100.miles away my visits would be more frequent.!
