Unfortunately I have the misfortune to write this review on what should have been a fantastic night of celebration. I cannot believe the behaviour of the son and owner on our visit. It was a birthday treat and whilst I appreciate it was December, (we can't help when we are born) we still deserve respect and to be treated well. We didn't end up eating at the restaurant as they were so rude an unaccomodating it was embarrassing. The son violently snatched the menu out of my hands for making a playful comment about asking for a birthday drink and then denied it after asking us to leave! I would however

The Cherry House is a lovely traditional pub/restaurant with wonderful thatched roof. We visited the Cherry House in December and were impressed with the fantastic menu. The tables were all set with festive hats and crackers and the menu was suitably festive too. Starters, main course and deserts were all beautifully presented and very tasty.

Our first visit since restrictions were lifted, we were greeted warmly by both Andrew and Jordan, and we appreciated the changes that had been made in the restaurant to help diners feel safe and relaxed. Although our absolute favourite starter of Broccoli and Stilton soup was not on the menu this time, that was no issue, as the kitchen brigade produced the delicious
