The Old Dairy Restaurant in Hinckley and Bosworth

Visited last night for a pre Christmas meal with friends. I have to say the food was superb. Reading other reviews it appears that this place has been hit with several problems recently. Last night the previous owner was waiting on tables as staff were off ill. It was very quiet unfortunately which obviously had a bearing on the atmosphere. Don’t let past events and bad reviews put you off as I believe this place under normal circumstances is a hidden gem.

This was to be a birthday celebration Sunday lunch for a family of 7 plus a well behaved baby, we all arrived and had pre dinner drinks which were slow to arrive. Two of our party had a coke which they said tasted syrupy, however as we were not in a hurry we did not mind. Shortly after we were seated at the table where we were encouraged to order more drinks. The menus duly arrived and although the waitress had no idea what the soup was she found out and returned to the table to inform us that the soup had sold out. This was around 1.00pm and we found this strange as the restaurant only opened at 12.00pm, there were only around 20 people in the restaurant. We ordered our food and then the wait began! We asked for a high chair, on the third request we finally got one. We ordered another couple of rounds of drinks and realised that we had actually been there for an hour and a half. At no time did any staff member inform us of any delays. whilst we were waiting we noticed that there was another table where they had sent their food back to the kitchen and on its return the guests said it was barely warm and encouraged the waitress to try it. We spoke to a waitress and she advised that there was a fifteen minute delay. The baby required a nappy change which in itself was difficult as there are no changing facilities so had to be done on the bar floor fortunately no other guests were in the bar area. The fifteen minutes elapsed and we made the decision to leave. By now we had been there for two hours. We paid for the drinks consumed and the lady behind the bar apologised and said that 'management' would be informed and that I would receive a phone call. As you have probably guessed NO phone call received. This is such a shame as numerous friends have asked how our meal was and we can only speak as we find and directed them to the review page.

Awful experience for my daughter’s birthday meal, the lengthy waiting time (1 1/2 hrs) left us no choice to walk out without any food being served. Another table walked out they had been waiting over 2 hrs, food that did get served to another table was cold, then they ran out of beef…..

Really disappointed today. Came to the Old Dairy for birthday lunch. Service was terrible had to wait an hour for our main course. When It did come it was barely warm. Have had good meals in the past but we will be spending our hard earned cash elsewhere in the future.

We have eaten here before and it has always been lovely however to-day we had travelled from Cardiff to take an elderly relative out for her birthday. We waited over an hour to get our food and asked numerous times for coffee and the bill. All in all we were in the restaurant for over 2 hours making us very late getting back to Cardiff. There were a number of customers waiting a very long time for their meal.

Lunch yesterday at 2pm. Restaurant was empty except for one other group. When the menu arrived, I queried the price as it was more than advertised by about two pounds. The waitress informed that they had anew chef who had immediately increased the prices. This made it a very expensive Sunday lunch at about £18 each for one course. However, we ordered the meals which duly arrived. On turkey, one pork and two lamb. The turkey and pork were fine but both lambs very chewy and just about edible. We asked cranberry and mint sauce and received a very small dish of each. The cauliflower cheese was a small of what would normally be one portion between four. As there was very little gravy with the meals with very dry Yorkshire pudding s, we asked for some more gravy only to be told that this would be an extra £1.95! We duly ate our one course, paid the bill of over £85 and left. Never to return as this was our first and last visit since it had come under new management. Still can't get my head around gravy being an extra cost!

Went for a family sunday dinner before going away on holiday.Meal was excellent and the service was very good.

Enjoyed a drink outside in the garden area before having a very good meal inside. Service was very friendly and the food tasted great as well as coming in large portions.

A group of 8 booked for a Sunday lunch and get together. From the outset the staff were welcoming, friendly, polite & efficient. The lunch was outstanding, tasty, a good size serving, and wholesome, the term 'just like homemade' is often over used, but this certainly was....and the empty plates certainly proved it. Pudding was equally tasty with the majority of us going for the jam roly poly. All agreed we'd had one of the best Sunday lunches. Thank you to Frank & staff.

So sorry to leave such a negative review but 2 years on, the whole venue/experience has sadly imploded on itself. Used to be superb, good quality food, beautifully presented by suitably and professionally attired staff ( tattoos covered). The stuffed pork belly had not been 'seared' prior to slow cooking, WHY? would I want even more nasty tasty stuffing alongside of this, very fatty, a very watery bowl of mixed vegetable accompaniment. Parsnips were ' strange'! My Husband chose the 'Mediterranean tart' which in itself looked and sounded very nice... WHY??? was it covered in gravy, stuffing, no option of a gravy jug, completely uninnivotive, thoughtless and classless. All in all, very poor presentation, poor quality and a very much ' cafe' experience, we paid 64.00 with 6.00 tip, poor quality Cointreau glass, reminiscent of a Butlins dining room, sorry.

We went here for Sunday dinner on an Easter weekend break. The staff are lovely and so friendly, great Sunday dinner and suet rolly polly for pudding. Would definitely recommend

From walking through the door we were made to fell welcome. Shown to our table, took a while to choose from a great choice of menu. I had Whitebait to start, and Fish pie and veg. My wife decided to have the Kirkby burger with all the trimmings. Followed by Ice cream sundae. All freshly cooked and very tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful, service with a smile. We worth a visit.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch today at the Old Dairy. Can't wait to visit again. Great homemade pudding too. Staff lovely and great service.

After looking for somewhere different for Sunday lunch, thought give here a go. We walked in seemed very nice guided to our seat, given the menu after watching other customers come in and after 10 mins asked if we could order drinks. We ordered the pate and I had mushrooms in garlic and stilton, two turkey lunches. Starters came out my mushrooms some were cooked through some not with a sauce which contained very little stilton and the presentation a child may of done better ,the pate wasn't much better and contained red pepper which wasn't good and tasted awful. Then the mains presented as though was a big portion just meat placed over the Yorkshire pudding we had to ask server where our veg was which she brought out and was barely cooked maybe under a light bulb. Then we cut into the turkey which looked very good then as you begin to eat you get the pepper hit which was so over powering you couldn't taste turkey just black pepper. Didn't enjoy this experience wouldn't recommend and definitely won't ever go back the server refunded for drinks ,but for what we had to eat we still paid to much. Had better lunches elsewhere and cooked much better ourselves. Awful !!!!

Excellent meal & friendly service. With 7 adults & 5 children nothing was too much trouble, they were happy to accommodate our special requests.

See juateipe1’s review , amazingly we had a very similar experience! Likewise we called to book a Sunday lunch as had been thinking of visiting for some time and received a call from a mobile whilst leaving a message on the restaurant’s answer phone. On...

Been twice around lockdowns. Staff were working very hard to make the experience a good one. Food was well cooked and tasty. Nice bar and distanced restaurant. Well done I’m sure we will be back when possible.

Been twice once in August and again before latest lockdown. Staff were excellent yes a limited menu but that’s just sensible during these times. The homemade pie excellent, steaks look great, nice bar lovely experience. Well done guys.

Visited on a Friday night, the menu is very basic straight forward, however confusing on what the dishes come with as not stated on the menu... I ordered the green lip muscles for starter, over cooked, dry and rubbery, presentation very dated. My main I...

When I rang to book I was told that the restaurant was not open on a Wednesday night but we could order bar food. However when we arrived we were really surprised to see they had laid up a table for us in the restaurant....

My husband stumbled across this beautiful hidden gem whilst working, we were not disappointed. Lovely, relaxed decor and ambience, very Covid safe. Totally relaxed and unrushed service...which means a lot these days! The roast beef dinner cooked to perfection, roast potatoes ,yorkshire pudding ,parsnips ,green...

Food was very nice. We arrived at 5.30pm was seated in restaurant asked for draught lager to be told they were running water through the pipes. This we felt should have been done before diners arrived ? We didn't see another diner for at least...

Delicious three course meal for great value also Amazing customer service from Katie, I would recommend this place highly.

Set in a very nice quite village, The Old Dairy is a loverly cosy restaurant that serves good pub grub. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the price is reasonable

Went there for a family meal tonight and got seated in a small poxy dinning area where there was no one else other than another couple opposite us. Not really very welcoming and very slow service.Had the mussels to start off with, they where just over cooked and chewy. Then had the lasagne ... there are no words to describe it apart from vile dry and disgusting. Another family member went for the chicken pasta and was not Explained that it would have been spicy and for someone that doesn't like spice was not able to eat it. And when we mentioned it to the waitress we didn't even get an apology how ever she did say that we where not the first to complain about that. And then pudding well I will say they had a good chocolate orange cake however i know the brand of that cake sorry frozen cake that costs about £15 for 16 slices and they charged us £7 for one slice. Oh and dont forget the vanilla cheese cake oh sorry I believe we where served a lemon cheese cake. that wasn't even on the menu.

Booked here in advance as last night treat. Wish we hadn’t. No explanation of any dish, drinks at bar served wrong, Pinot Grigio ordered with meal was warm, despite saying “only wanted it if cold”. Given jug with ice. Seared sea bass was anaemic, Tennessee...

1st time to this restaurant as we are new to the area.I don’t think the restaurant is usually as busy mid week as it was but the staff managed really well. We had to wait for our starters but we were offered a complimentary bread and olives which was appreciated.I recommend the nachos for starters, the best I’ve ever had.Filet steak for main course cooked perfect and good size portions.We rebooked for the following week while we were there.I would definitely recommend

Firstly it was bloody freezing in there, I did have a vest and jumper on but I was froze and do was my husband.The starter (pate and salad) was nice,Main course beef ( hubby) and I had welsh lamb, the meat on both meals was delicious and tasty? Parsnips and very over cooked Yorkshire pudding ! Nice but we have had better .... service was quick and very polite

Friendly staff and good service, food was good quality, very tasty and was well presented. Excellent value for money and will definitely visit again.

The occasion was my wife’s birthday. It was a cold wet November evening, raining, with spray from standing water on the dark country lanes but it was all worthwhile with the warm welcome we received on arrival. The food was good and reasonably priced with Frank the chef visiting all the tables to ensure everyone was happy. We all commented that we would like to return and if we didn't live only a dozen or so miles away would stay there too. Handy if you are visiting Mallory Park.

Me and my partner came for dinner here on a Saturday night and was really impressed with it. We were in the area for a romantic weekend, so didn’t really know the area at all. We had read some recommendations and decided to give it a try. The layout of the restaurant was really nice and wasn’t too busy, so we were able to choose where to sit. We both had a starter- garlic bread and nachos. The portions weren’t too big and was a nice start to the meal. Mains we had the gammon with egg and the nacho burger. We both finished our plates and the food was so good. We were both impressed with the quality of the meat aswell. Desserts we both had the hot chocolate dumpling which was also great. It wasn’t too sickly and was a nice way to finish the meal. The service was good and the food was served promptly. We had both had alcohol and the total bill was really reasonable for what we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a really nice meal out.

Try the green lipped mussels if they’re on the specials board. Totally delicious. Also the whitebait looked really good.

Lovely little place, and the staff were ever so friendly, surprised to see it so quiet on a Friday evening though as there was only ourselves and one other couple dining. We ordered the lasagne and a burger. The food was beautifully presented. I did have a issue with my dinner but the management were quick to apologise and sort out which was good. Don’t know if I would go again though as the place lacked atmosphere but that may have been because it was so quiet.

Wonderful delicious food, great portion sizes. Beautifully presented. Never a disappointment to eat here. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Lovely comfortable surroundings. Our party of 6 adults & 3 children came away very happy after a lovely 3 course Sunday meal. We’ll be back.

Lovely food available in the bar or restaurant from a good sized menu with dishes to suit all tastes. Good portion sizes. Reasonable prices. Friendly and flexible staff. Draught bitter available. Overall, a great dining experience. We'll be back!

Well...where do I start!!Myself and husband had booked a table for Friday evening as we were staying nearby and all I can say is wow....first of all the greeting and service by Katie and James was second to none, we were made to feel like they had known us for years.The menu was varied and attractive with more than plenty to choose from. What topped it off was when Frank came out of the kitchen to announce Richard's birthday with a stunning dessert on slate with a candle and happy birthday written on in icing! All the bar joined in to sing, it was just fabulous!We enjoyed the atmosphere and food so much we booked in for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed!!The service and food was once again outstanding and for the second time I had Frank's homemade Brioche pudding....wow...just wow....We will most certainly be back and would recommend staying and eating here as it will make your holiday!Susie & Richard

Loved our visit here- been meaning to try it for a while. Food was fabulous - can recommend the Stilton mushrooms and the nachos starter Lovely waitress

We regularly eat at the Old Dairy and have taken friends and family, who have all been impressed. The food is excellent and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

We went to The Old dairy for a birthday outing and it was a great experience. Katie went above and beyond to cater for my needs, offering my a dairy alternative for custard! Food was top quality cannot fault!

Friendly village restaurant serving good quality home made dishes, using fresh local produce, all at a reasonable cost. Nice traditional restaurant with accommodation. Good for special occassions. Frank will cater for any special requests and organise a good night. Recommended.

The mix of cuisine and wacky decor makes you wonder what the owners are trying to promote. Menu is a mix of every country. Its a pity they don't go for a good basic pub grub menu. Its a lovely location, good parking & friendly staff. The food was very average and plates were not hot so the food went cold quickly.

Family of 7 just been for Sunday lunch. What can we say, perfect in every way as always. Lovely, friendly staff and 1st class food. Definitely give this place a try if you haven’t already.

Wonderful meal and service. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and looked after us cheerfully and ensured we all had what we wanted and more.

What is the prime criterion for a five star review? The quality of service.

Had a wonderful meal for my mother in laws 70th Birthday with the family. Food was plentiful and delicious. Service was great and the friendly staff even took time out to take a family photo for us.

Visited here with my husband for Sunday lunch. I must say it has got to be one of the best roast dinners We have ever had. Lovely atmosphere relaxing ambience. Excellent service. All staff are so friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely meal. Freshly made to order as it wasn't busy when we where there. Was worth the wait. Attentive staff.

Great service Not over priced Friendly Good choice Home cooked Fresh food Relaxed Nothing too much trouble

We popped in on Saturday night and they were very busy in the restaurant but still managed to fit the 2 of us in.

There were 17 of us celebrating an 80th birthday and we all had fantastic food and the staff were exceptional. They went out of the way to make sure we were all happy and well fed. The environment is great for a private party. The bar is cosy and welcoming for pre dinner drinks and the hotel has good guest rooms for anybody that wants to stay over.

As always first class food & service, whether we come for Sunday Lunch or an evening meal. Ideal for couples or families. My favourite dessert there is the Morello Cherry & Coconut Crumble....

Have visited a couple of times recently & it’s been much better.The busier it gets & they just seem to struggle,the menu has got a good selection of dishes but they had completely run out of pies this particular evening previously it was desserts,perhaps this is a positive as they must be very popular.

Called on the off chance of getting in, very helpful staff managed to seat 6 of us for Sunday lunch. Delicious meal and friendly staff, will definitely recommend. Would be nice to see a vegetarian option on the Sunday lunch menu.

My family and I recently visited the restaurant, having known what to expect from our first visit some 9 months prior. Once again we really enjoyed the Sunday lunch and the children seemed very comfortable. The food was tasty, hot and didn’t long to arrive. The service was good overall, ranging from excellent and friendly from the main lady that served us (manager we assume?), to so-so from the others, who I felt should have been more attentative and left us waiting too long after finishing our lunch before taking plates away and offering us dessert menus. The restaurant is lacking a bit of atmosphere and warmth, but I’m sure that’s us being picky rather than raising a serious flaw. Thank you again to the main lady/manager for making us all feel so welcome.

Went here on Saturday night for the first time, a friend recommended it and I am glad they did. Really nicely furnished and welcoming place. Had a drink at the bar first while we chose our food, staff were excellent and all seemed to have a smile which is rare these days, were seated in the restaurant which is really attractive. our food came promptly and was excellent, certainly one of the best fillet steaks I have had for a very long time, veg was very well cooked and plenty of it. What a nice place with excellent food and a singer on in the background as well.

Absolutely delicious Sunday Lunch. We took a a group of 11 and all had 2 courses plus drinks. Staff are brilliant with the Chef even coming out to wish the Birthday Girl a happy birthday. They even sorted out free Ice Cream for the little ones (Only a Ramekin with a Scoop of Strawberry in but the gesture was so thoughtful). Our waitress couldn't do enough for us and was on hand to take pics and and tend to our needs. The meals itself were delicious, puddings exceptional as well. Couldn't fault it. Would recommend highly recommend it but book first.

From entering the bar and restaurant on the Monday, the staff gave us a very warm welcome,and treated us with dignity and respect to the point where we felt like we were surround by very close friends.

This was our first visit Kirkby house since he 2016, this time we tried the Sunday lunch and not disappointed! The lamb both my partner and I had was incredible and perfectly cooked, they catered for my children thankfully (we have a fussy eater) and the staff made us feel so comfortable. Such a lovely place to eat and relax. Would highly recommend.

Ate there on a Saturday evening prior to racing on Sunday at Mallory. Very pleasant character dining room with very friendly attentive staff. We both had the mushroom with garlic and Stilton cheese starter and the sea bass main with sauté potatoes and vegetables. Desert (shared) was a delicious crumble with ice cream. Everything was delicious and we would definitely return to eat in this restaurant!

We arrived and were seated with-in 15 mins; drinks orders were taken and brought to the table.This has to be the best ‘Roast’ I’ve had for sometime; My meat was tender and tasty, the Roast Potatoes were fluffy inside and crispy out! Yorkshire was homemade and a good size. The Veg was perfectly cooked and served cottage style (on the side separate so you can chose what you like) And the “Gravy” was probably the best I’ve tasted! Not forgetting the large piece of crisp pork crackling and stuffing ball! We all agreed it was lovely! Service was stretched a little but it was full house, being Mothering Sunday! I will be back very soon! Not forgetting finishing off with an ample cheese board! Plus I've heard about ''Steak Night' in the week I will have to give it a try! Can't wait!!

Tried The Old Dairy out last year and was impressed so thought we would give it a bigger challenge twelve months later,from the moment we left the cold and snow outdoors and entered the warm and friendly interior you cant help but be impressed, the word i've been searching for is "elegant", tastefully decorated. We were seated and offered a drink whilst waiting for the last couple and a few minutes after their arrival, all having a drink we were shown to our table, the restaurant is of good size and not cramped, the menus were bought as soon as we were seated and the waitress left us to return when we had chosen. I will only comment on my order but can assure that there were no complaints, only compliments by all after. I started with the crayfish, if you have not had them and like a prawn cocktail you must try them, they are the Rolls Royce of that dish, mild in flavor, a delight with a light dressing and nice fresh salad served with two slices of homemade french stick with butter (Must admit I could have used a couple more) My main course was a homemade beef and ale pie, good size individual pie, nice short pastry, had mine with mashed potatoes and had a few chips from my partners place, fabulous, separate dishes of vegetables, French beans, carrots broccoli and peas perfectly cooked with a jug of gravy (Always a nice touch to have separate) and for pudding, a trio of very nice Ice cream but very small amount, the only small thing I could criticize, also tried a spoon full of the raspberry crumble from the wife - also delicious, a few bottles of house red and white to complete a fine evening.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere, amazing home cooked food. We went for Sunday lunch and both the beef and the lamb melt in the mouth. The desserts are amazing too, especially the morello cherry crumble. Would certainly recommend!

Thank you Frank and staff for a wonderful night we had. The food was great. We were all looked after very well. We all stayed and the rooms were very comfortable. We all had an amazing weekend. Thank you all for making it happen. I highly recommend you all and your wonderful hotel and resturant.

Food was fab including the puddings. Chocolate and orange cake with cream was fabulous and I would love to know the recipe

So bitter cold night so was not packed out, but the service and food were very good. Generous plate with good selection of vegetables and the pie was very tasty with plenty of gravy. They have a good selection at the bar and serve Stella so going to be back

I can recommend the belly pork. It melts in your mouth. Very good value for money. A proper Sunday lunch.

We have had Sunday lunch at this restaurant 4 times now since December and every time we have thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been at both busy and quiet times and have always found the staff helpful and polite. Infact were so impressed with the food were going to give their steak night a try on a Thursday. Nice cosey environment, with good food and beer what more could you ask. Best of it is the first time we tried here was because Ashfields in Earl Shilton couldn't squeeze us in so I consider this place a lucky find.

I love this place . Thank you to James our waiter and Frank for the beautiful roast . What a fantastic deal . We really enjoyed the home cooked meal . I’m afraid we couldn’t manage a desert , we were so full . This is the third time I have been here , it’s my hidden gem .

We often go the the Old Dairy for Sunday lunch and evening meals. So much so we also went there for our Christmas Day meal. The food is to die for, especially the pork roast. The staff are very friendly and the service is second to none. I can only give praise to the Old Dairy and would recommend it to any one

We were amongst a large group for evening meal. First visit for me and my husband. We were certainly amazed at the lovely decor and surroundings. The staff were more than helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble. The meal was fantastic beautifully cooked and presented. Definitely no complaints from our group as we all felt the same. Would certainly recommend to others.

We stayed at the old dairy when visiting Mallory park for the races. This place is great, great food, drink and service. It's quiet on occasions but feels very homely and welcoming. I couldn't imagine a better place to eat or drink (or sleep) that has the same warming effect as home. I absolutely recommend visiting this place and recommend the steak even more.

Evening meal, mid week, moderate service and limited menu. Little atmosphere. Not good value probably busy during motor racing season as Mallory circuit is adjacent

We returned to this restaurant for a second time recently and again had a very pleasant and inexpensive evening. So we'd recommend you try this place. It's out of the way so, as far we understand, it's quite mid week but comes to life at the weekends. We visited on a Saturday and it was full.

My wife and I visited The Old Dairy Restaurant as we live nearby and usually go to Sutton Cheney for food. Upon entering we immediately knew that something was not quite right. It was practically empty - only two people were seated eating food, and in the tiny bar area a group of four had been ushered and given menus rather than being seated. Two waitresses walked past us without saying hello or asking if we needed help. At this point we should have left but we decided to give them a chance.

We had Sunday dinner for the first time here and was a little nervous about what we would get considering the other reviews here, but was pleasantly surprised. The venue is very comfortable with tartan carpet and chandeliers and dark oak tables. Our food was very tasty and the portions were generous. The only let down was the lack of attentive service, i.e. there was no attentive service. I had to go to the bar to get a second drink, no waiting staff checked on us during the meal, ther was no cutlery provided for my husbands cheese board, and I and another table both went to the bar to pay when nobody came back for the money. There is also a lack of knowledge with the staff about the food, as they look bewildered when you ask them anything about it. The special was trifle apparently, but when I asked what sort (strawberry, raspberry, mixed fruit?) the waiter did not know and guessed strawberry. He was wrong about that. I am glad I erred on the side of caution and did not order it (I cant have raspberries). The other odd thing was the music choice. Now I like the Hits of the Eighties but it ruined the ambience of what was trying to be a sophisticated country house restaurant. Food was good though, so we will almost certainly try this restaurant again.

We arrived for our 2pm table and was told to take a seat next to the bar and someone would bring the menus over. After 15mins i went I and got the menus off the bar myself. After 30mins i went and asked how long we were going to be kept waiting and whether anyone was going to take our food order. After 55mins i complained again and also another family walked out complaining having also had a table booked for 2pm. We were finally seated at 3.15pm and when the meal did arrive we had to ask for veg,mint & apple sauce plus to top it off the waiter spilt gravy on my wifes chair.This place should not take on two sittings on a Sunday if they are not prepared to tell the first sitting that they must leave the table by a certain time. We will not be in a hurry to go back

Went with friends for the first time on a Saturday evening. The food was very good and plenty. It is mainly English food and the chips were lovely. The resturant was nicely decorated and cosy. Service was prompt, thou our group was the only people eating there. Staff friendly.

My family and I had Sunday lunch here. We were left for 30 minutes before being asked if our order had been taken and then, like double decker buses, two came along!! Our starters came out fairly promptly on very faddy slate which did not make it easy to eat. When our mains arrived, the roast potatoes had been cut into large oblongs and were very hard, yet burnt and not at all crispy!! The Yorkshire puddings were likewise. I asked for apple sauce which was supposed to accompany my pork and none arrived. The gravy was insipid and the service not much better. We left as soon as possible....very disappointed!!

Every thing was excellent . The Sea bass was quite superb, miles in front of the fried skin served by the Pseudo Italians.

This was the first time we'd been to The Old Dairy that wasn't for Sunday Lunch. Plenty of choice on the menu and food hot & tasty. Bar & waiting staff are lovely. One of our favourite local eating places

Nice setting, average service, below average food, poor menu choice, average value.

James our host was very lovely, polite, friendly and so welcoming, a great representation for traditional and homely hospitality - he made our stay perfect. Upgraded us to an ensuite room for our arrival as he saw we travelled far and helped make us feel settled in, he was so comforting and made the experience and stay smooth and beautiful. Going the extra mile!! Just so wonderful !

Lovely setting and nice clean surroundings what a shame the food let them down. Firstly the duck pâté tasted of fish and was covered in a mountain of cayenne pepper. Sea bass main course had seen better days and was served with chips of all things. My partner had the trio of pork which although was a massive portion was over cooked.. very disappointing food although the waitress come bar maid was lovely. The opinionated local and the TV blaring out did not help the evening. On the whole a lovely place but won't be eating there again.

Good menu choices, friendly service, at tentative staff well cooked and presented, good wine list, and bar choice would recommend booking.

Lovely place although we weren't a fan of waiting in the bar taking our order then having to be waited to be seated, food could have also beeb warmer it was lukewarm.

Had a fantastic dining experience here last night, celebrating our friends birthday. The food and presentation was fantastic. The chef very kindly even did me boiled potatoes to accompany my steak, even though they were not on the menu. We were served by the lovely Laura, who was so patient and kind, nothing was too much trouble for her. The whole evening was superb. Thank you and we will definitely be back xxx

Beautiful decor, with a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Helpful staff who do their utmost to ensure that the experience is good. Relaxed drinks in the bar whilst making your choice from the menu (good selection, with something for everyone) and while your starters are prepared. The restaurant area is really nicely appointed, quiet and relaxed, just the job for an evening with friends. The food is excellent, well presented and prepared, with a good choice of wine if you need it. Service is spot on, pleasant staff, just the right time between courses, with a longer pause before dessert if you want. Nice touch from the joint owner/chef coming round to check if everything had been OK. Overall a really nice experience. It was our first time here, but it won't be our last. Well done everybody. Thanks.

Enjoyed the decor and the setting Good service and the food was spot on Would recommend relaxed atmosphere
