The Old Rectory in Cotswold

We so enjoyed our first visit here for dinner this evening celebrating John's birthday. Jason and Michelle are the perfect hosts and we really enjoyed chatting with them. Our food was delicious and beautifully complemented by the wine. A lovely extra touch was a birthday card from our hosts and some hand-made gingerbread pieces to take home. We will definitely visit when we are next in the area. Thanks and best wishes from John and Gill.

My wife Linda and I cycled (along lovely bridleways) from Leckhampton to the Old Rectory at Colesbourne. We appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, charming sculpture gardens and delicious, freshly prepared food and drink. The friendly proprietor was very knowledgeable on the local ales and sources of ingredients on the menu. Great value for money too. We hope to return soon.

Sunday roast was amazing. Plenty of fresh veg meat well cooked and gravy to die for. Only fault I do like my food piping hot Service very good with a nice welcome.

Lovely Sunday lunch today in a nice setting thank you

Great place, in an enchanted Cotswold corner. We had a very nice time, all tasteful plates, but the Chicken Ballentine and mushroom risotto were something special! Highly recommended !

The most delicious restaurant in the Cotswolds and of our whole trip in the UK. Stopped in for a bite on a Saturday. The curry was tremendous and the potted rabbit is a must. For dessert the rhubarb fool and pineapple upside down cake were fit for kings. We love this place!

Sunday Lunch : Excellent food and wide choice of menu, relaxed attentive service, nice gardens....

Very tasty food!! I loved the chicken kebabs

Wonderful place to eat!! Food is homemade, the chips with duck is insane and the kebab is huge! Very recommended!!!

Lovely place, felt like home. Very nice staff and surprisingly tasty food. Every plate is made with love.

We were a group of nine and luckily I got to try the asparagus, the mushroom soup and the kebab, all of them were delicious! Nice place with unique decoration, kind staff and easy to find. If you are visiting the Cotswolds, definitely plan ahead and pay them a visit.

There are four tables in each front living room (plus tables outside); Jason graciously accommodated our many requests; my food was outstanding, wonderful soup and the best steak burger I’ve ever eaten; excellent service, sensibly priced – I love this restaurant; I’ll be back. 10/10

Tried this restaurant for the first time since the new owners had taken over and we weren’t disappointed. Food was extremely well cooked, very tasty and service and ambiance faultless too. It was Mother’s Day, so busy but not compromised as a result. I’ll be back.

Excellent Thursday roast beef mid week lunch today. The beef was tender and succulent served with a variety of freshly cooked veg. We couldn't resist the apple and plum crumble with custard. This is our first visit to the restaurant and it certainly won't be our last, highly recommended.

Myself and my partner drove to Colesbourne from Somerset and booked this restaurant before visiting Colesbourne Gardens. Jason was able to fix us up with a table even though they were already busy. Michelle was very welcoming and friendly, showing us to a table in a lovely cozy room. The food was delicious with a good selection of drinks on the menu and served promptly. We had a relaxing lunch and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others.

Had a wonderful valentine meal last night. Was made to feel special and the food was excellent too. Red rose for the ladies and chocolate hearts on the table thank you. We will be back x💖

Sunday lunch at this wonderful restaurant was one of the best I have had. The owners were welcoming and attentive. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere relaxed. The roast beef was melt-in-your-mouth and the vegetables cooked to perfection. The desert menu was offered and who could resist bananas cooked in coconut milk - devine. Will certainly recommend to friends and with even more certainty will return ourselves very soon.

Had a lovely meal at the Old Rectory. The food was delicious and had a homemade feel, clearly made with a lot of thought and care. The service was also very warm and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Jason was a wonderful host! We were well looked after and the atmosphere was just lovely. We had a delicious meal sat in front of a cosy fire. The red Thai curry was full of flavour and the Guinness beef stew was beautifully made. Thank you so much Jason!

Emergent. They recently moved from New Zealand for family reasons. Defo go back.

We booked for Christmas Day and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The food is excellent, very traditional and the service was warm and friendly. The whole experience was great, although it would have been good if the dinner was served more vegetables and side dishes rather than just a plate of food for the price per head. However it’s great to support local businesses and it was clear the quality, thought and effort was taken to provide a great experience. Thank you for making Christmas Day dinner for us!

After a warm welcome from Jason and Michelle, we had the most delicious Sunday lunch - all homemade and very plentiful. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant which is ideally located on the road between Cheltenham and Cirencester. Looking forward to a return visit very soon! 😃

Lovely little find in the Cotswolds, beautiful home-made food, something I’m extremely fussy about when I eat out. I had the cream of artichoke soup and the trout fish cake topped with crispy cabbage. It was fabulous and my partner had the beef Bourguignon with home-made gnocchi, so tasty and plenty of it. We followed this with a cheeseboard with 6 different cheeses and a port. The service timing was perfect and the fire made it an extremely cosy evening during our little break. I’d love to go back for the Sunday roast one day. I imagine it’s amazing.

Will definitely return one day to try the Sunday menu. Such a unique restaurant with a menu and decor that have a real home like feel to them. 100% recommended

Jason and Michelle organised a wonderful lunch party for 16 friends to celebrate my husband’s birthday. They were perfect hosts, attentive but never intrusive. We had preordered from the varied menu and every dish was delicious and attractively presented. The in-house smoked trout was a real treat and the boeuf bourguignon so rich and tender. Winter fruit crumble with home made custard was very popular. Congratulations to Dan, their talented chef. We will return soon.

Excellent service and wonderful food, great value. Couldn't fault it. Lovely decor. Have since rebooked for Christmas dinner.

Truly excellent Sunday roast. The watercress soup and cheesecake were also amazing. And such great service!

On a wet miserable night our evening was made by visiting this wonderful secret Gem !! Beautifully decorated and furnished. The host Jason met us at the door ( good touch) sat and enjoyed a drink while looking at the menu, good menu we could have had three meals!! Food was excellent wine was sensibly priced all in all excellent. We have already booked a return. Well Done

We visited today with our family for lunch. The food was the best we have had this trip, service from the husband and wife team (we assume) was exceptionally genuine and friendly. You cant go wrong!

Incredible service and food! Best restaurant I went to in the cotswolds! Would highly recommend

Picked it off Google as we are staying near. Had a tiered lunch on a Tuesday lunchtime. Delicious, lovely ambiance and decor. Enjoyed the sculptures. Delightful. New owners only open for 4 weeks.

Returned to The Old Rectory which is now under new ownership. We had Sunday lunch and the menu provided a great variety but can really recommend a traditional roast beef. The portions plentiful and all cooked really well. The home made desserts excellent, certainly my red berry crumble with custard was really tasty. Jason and Michelle have made a terrific difference to the inside of the restaurant yet retaining a traditional character. They are most welcoming. The garden is adorned with Michelle's chicken wire sculptures showing her terrific creative talents. We will certainly be regulars and looking forward to the Christmas menu. Well done Jason and Michelle we can highly recommend your wonderful restaurant.

A wonderful surprise in the Cotswolds. Great, home made food in beautiful and calm surroundings full of art. Perfect service, too.

Had an excellent family birthday lunch on Sunday. The food and service was outstanding! The charming hosts and welcoming staff ensured it was a day to remember. Heartily recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of discovering The Old Rectory in Colesbourne, and it was an unforgettable experience. This restaurant has the antique charm of a Victorian building, combined with some beautiful modern sculptures, creating a unique ambiance. The tiered luncheon made with locally sourced ingredients was a true delight and the Library's antique ambiance and open fireplace created an intimate setting for our group. Definitely highly recommended and looking forward to a revisit

Lovely place. Host attentive Food dreadful. Firstly the simplest of baking on a cream tea, the scones were the height of Welsh cakes. Two together were still a flat small scone. Couldn’t be split to put cream and jam on. They had to go on top. They were dry and texture all wrong. Full of air bubbles. Frozen? Should have been kept in kitchen. As tea was supposedly made on site I find it needs saying that the macaroons appeared identical to those from discount supermarket. Colour combo shape and size. No real taste. Other tiny squares of unidentified desserts obviously from factory. Looked good but nothing tasty. Rissoles were factory made. The giveaway one was was hollow, no cheese and potato.filling , just outer coating. Crostini with fish was tough as old boot. Not offered refills on coffees or drinks . No decaff on tea or coffee. Luckily we were able to laugh at it all. However for others I’d say steer away. Spend the money elsewhere and enjoy it.

New owners and new Chef! The Old Rectory with its Sculptures is the perfect place to enjoy a cosy lunch, Tiered Lunch, Sunday Roast or even just for a drink admiring Michelle Aplin’s work. Seasonal menus. A large variety of wines, cocktails and other liquors is available. We really enjoyed the Basque Cheese cake! Can’t wait to try the Tiered lunch next time!

We visited this weekend just after a refurbishment carried out in June/July 2023 by the new owners. Really high quality job and feels very comfortable and the Library dining room is very funky. We had a Sunday Roast as we were staying in the area for a week. Superb is the best word to describe all courses, chef is very talented and cocktails are very moreish! Very much recommended to all.

Magnifique restaurant avec de nouveaux propriétaires et un nouveau chef. Les plats sont variés et de saison. Le jardin est parfait pour prendre un verre en terrasse en profitant des sculptures réalisées par Michelle Aplin. Tables soignées, The Old Rectory est un superbe restaurant, nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

A tucked away place that has lots of charm. A very warm welcome and excellent service from beginning to end. The food was good quality and served with a smile. Good flavours with soup and main course. Unfortunately the Bakewell tart was very sweet and hid the flavours of the almonds and jam. I will return in the near future to try other items offered.

Amazing freshly cooked to order food, friendly staff, beautiful building. Would highly recommend

Food is excellent I had roast pork followed by apple pie. I was part of a party and we had all ordered several weeks in advance and still the service was very slow.

Fabulous coffee morning in support of the Air Ambulance today. Excellent cakes provided mainly by Joyce, I think. Thank you Sean and Diana for hosting the event. Just revisited for Sunday lunch. Fabulous food and dessert choices as always. Can't wait to revisit.

A return visit for the forth time! this visit was to take my brother and his partner to this exceptional place and to show them that excellent food combined with friendly staff in a warm comfortable environment can still be found. Diane and staff provided an evening meal second to none and which greatly impressed all of us and my brother could not believe the amount of puddings offered ,We have already booked for a Sunday roast dinner on his next visit and also booked for Christmas day lunch suffice to say that we cannot wait to see what delights are offered

A lovely countryside pub serving delicious food and a wide variety of drinks. The owners and servers are very nice, informative and welcoming. The room we reserved was beautiful furnished and decorated how we wanted it. The garden and location are idyllic - would definitely recommend!

Great place to go, for a special family meal / occasion. Very personable staff and great service

Excellent food and service Had a fantastic evening

Not been here for a few years but went for a 70th birthday. Four of us with our own dietary quirks, so obliging nothing was too much trouble. Friendly helpful service, excellent food cooked to perfection, everything so fresh and homemade. A lovely evening at our own pace, not rushed but not ignored, table checked several times during the evening. Tables spaced out, cleanliness next to none, highly recommend and won’t be leaving it too long before visiting again. A comment from one of my party. “ Best starter ever had, excellent”

What a wonderful lunch. Visiting Cotswolds. The welcome at the Old Rectory was second to none but food was 5* plus. It was cooked to absolute perfection and to such high standard. Not often you can say that. Off the beaten track but a must to look for

The Ritz of Cheltenham and brilliant service

What could be better than a traditional Christmas dinner in a traditional Victorian restaurant? Our walking group had our Christmas Dinner here. It was delicious even they had to cram us all in. 20 would have been comfortable, but we were 22. No problem, but a bit of a squeeze. We all had fun!

First time visit but what an amazing experience and such a gem of a restaurant its like stepping back into your grannies parlour back in the 50s or 60s and fond memories The owner and staff are extremely friendly and seem rightly proud of their efforts to provide a warm welcome leading up to an exceptional meal homemade veg soup winner roast pork and lamb again winner then the main event the pudding endless list of mouthwatering goodies treacle pudding treacle tart chocolate gateaux on and on goes the list and all home made what a treat,A good variety of local beer coupled with local produce mixed with a brilliant chef makes this the best local restaurant in the area we will definitely be returning and highly recommended a visit

Excellent Sunday lunch with superb quality food and extremely good service from very friendly staff we will be returning before too long

Absolutely wonderful welcome by the owner, lovely table near the window. Such a lovely host, excellent prawn cocktail starter, my duck was delicious, my wife’s lamb was amazing. The list of desert was just amazing and both the creme brûlée and the treacle tart were a perfect ending to our 3 course meal. I love this place, I love the atmosphere, the service and the cook too ! Highly recommend you pass by when you are nearby and you will not regret it !

This little gem never disappoints. You receive a lovely welcome and are never rushed. All the food is home cooked and the sweet selection is second to nine. Diana and Sean run an excellent homely restaurant. Highly recommended

Our hosts were very kind and I will return the sentiment .....Unique place , inexpensive with a fab wine list . Our food was a throw back to the 70s in a setting that was not unlike your grannies best parlour. I've never seen soup arrive with a garnishing of orange slice ! We were very well looked after by all the pleasant staff . Thankyou and keep doing what you are doing .

Excellent, friendly restaurant for a family gathering

Fantastic, great food,excellent service, beautiful restaurant very friendly. Will definitely go back.

Had a beautiful lunch at this restaurant today. We decided to sit outside as the weather was so good. I had the beautiful salmon dish and my husband had the pie, both meals were delicious. We both chose the lime pie and mint ice cream, another winner. The welcome as usual was genuine. If you are afraid to go out because of Covid this is the place to come to as you will feel/and are very safe. Plenty of distancing between the tables and everything is so spotless. Once you come here you will keep coming back. YOU HAVE TO BOOK. Enjoy

Our visit to The Old Rectory was quite surreal. Nothing on the website or in other reviews revealed that we would time warp to the Seventies. From the excessive decor with heavy (and worn) drapes, kitsch memorabilia on the walls and a selection of old school spirits by the entrance. This place is more advocaat than martini. The food was a strange feat with both superbly cooked meat and awfully cooked vegetables. We had the pate and plum chutney / prawn cocktail to start. The foundation elements were delightful but both were hidden behind excessive garnish including banana on the cocktail and kiwi fruit on the pate. With our mains (guinea fowl / venison) again the meat was delicious, perfectly cooked. However the mix of vegetables provided was bizarre ranging from cooked beetroot to Brussel sprouts - probably 10 varieties in all, each one significantly overcooked. Meanwhile the two types of potato were undercooked. I appreciate going for range, but I'd rather have a more limited broccolli, carrot and potato selection that's cooked nicely. I feel as though with the range of veg, the chef has no chance of getting each cooked correctly and is likely doing at least a bit of microwaving. Then came desert. The waiter listed out perhaps 10 different options. We went creme brulee and pie with custard. Each nice but the poor chef. Again providing so many options to race about with and not getting each as good as they could have been however pleasant. Feedback: reduce the garnishes, the range of veg and the dessert options to max 4 to improve quality. Decor also needs updating. Service was attentive and friendly which combined with the well cooked meat is what inched this review to a 3 star.

Absolutely superb meals. Thanks Diana and Sean. The best.

Overcooked veg and decor needs an uplift but general experience was good: service, meat quality and quantity of food

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch,yesterday havent got a bad thing to say about the place. Food is excellent as is the service. We were pleased it was being patronized by what seemed to be regulars and new guests a like.Well worth coming from Worcester for,thankyou!David and Ruth Coote.

Tuvimos la suerte de pasar otra maravillosa celebración familiar en Old Rectory después de meses de cierre. Todo se había planteado para cumplir con la normativa vigente y nos sentíamos muy seguros. Pudimos disfrutar y celebrar un 80º cumpleaños y también el cumpleaños de nuestros nietos, tres de los cuales cumplieron años en julio.

Fuimos aquí para el almuerzo del domingo ayer. Disfrutamos de una bebida en el jardín antes de entrar a comer (nos dieron la opción de comer afuera o adentro). Los comensales estaban repartidos en los dos comedores y nos distanciamos del resto de personas de nuestra habitación. Diana y nuestra mesera observaron un distanciamiento apropiado y seguro en todo momento. La comida era deliciosa, desde el increíble primer plato hasta los deliciosos postres. Si se siente un poco ansioso por volver a comer fuera, este es el lugar para ir.

Cuatro de nosotros almorzamos aquí ayer. Estábamos muy ansiosos porque no habíamos comido en cuatro meses. Elegimos este restaurante porque sabíamos que estaríamos a salvo. Comida como de costumbre muy bien preparada y presentada. Los platos principales son deliciosos y, en cuanto a los postres, la cantidad y la calidad de los platos que se ofrecen sería muy, muy difícil de superar. Como de costumbre, Diana fue cálida y amigable. No tengas miedo de visitar este restaurante estarás completamente seguro. Debes reservar. Usted no será decepcionado.

Such a wonderful meal out after 4 months. Timing of re-opening perfect for us today! Safely distanced tables and other precautions all in place. Usual superb menu cooked and served to perfection. Thank you so much for making it a very special day!

The Old Rectory ocupa un lugar destacado en nuestra lista de "mejores lugares para comer". Diane y Sean siempre te hacen sentir bienvenido y la comida siempre está recién preparada y muy caliente. Siempre hay una buena selección de carnes y verduras separadas. Lo visitamos con bastante frecuencia para celebraciones y almuerzos dominicales. El ambiente siempre es tranquilo y relajante y nunca se apresura. Hay muchos vinos, cervezas y refrescos disponibles, seguidos de una gran selección de postres y café. Cuando hace buen tiempo, puede sentarse en el jardín y disfrutar de una bebida relajante. El restaurante es práctico para el paseo de campanillas y el paseo de campanillas cerca. Ahora se ofrece té de la tarde y los pasteles y sándwiches de Sean no se pueden perder. La reserva es esencial ya que el restaurante es muy popular. Gracias por una deliciosa comida de nuevo.

La comida está bien preparada con una buena variedad de platos. La comida siempre es de alta calidad y se sirve con una amplia gama de verduras frescas. y deliciosos postres. . Todo servido en un acogedor comedor que siempre está bien presentado y las flores frescas crean un ambiente relajado.

Absolutely first class. Food. decor and personal welcome were second to none. We will definitely visit again?! L

We love this place. You're made to feel like a guest invited for a meal in a friend's home, which it pretty much is.

Este excelente restaurante nunca decepciona. Es un edificio de doble fachada al lado del Colesbourne Inn. Los platos son de alta calidad y están preparados con ingredientes locales preparados por Sean, un gran chef. Diana cuida a los comensales y nunca tienen prisa. Hemos estado muchas veces durante los últimos nueve años más o menos y volveremos pronto

The food and service is great friendly staff and very reasonable prices

Excellent meal with classic, traditional food on the menu. Friendly hosts. Would definitely return, although decor could do with an update and ornaments being thinned out. Also, lighting was rather heavy and dark.

Booked this place for my step-father's 90th birthday lunch party. Good prices, good service, good food. A real success.Diana the proprietrix and her chef husband did a fine job. I'd have no hesitation in going again.

Wonderful chef and cosy homely atmosphere

Great food and service and wonderful helpful staff.

Food fabulous service exemplary more than value for money comfortable ambience can not recommend this restaurant highly enough .

We went for a lunch. The restaurant is tucked away in a quiet village, off the beaten track. We were welcomed at the door by a friendly waiter and shown into one of the the dining rooms. The atmosphere is cosy and no sooner had we settled than we were asked if we would like a drink while we perused the lunch time menu. It is not a long menu but we had difficulty choosing from a range of appetising options. All the food was well cooked and the portions just right for lunch. Spices and herbs had been used to get the most from tender meat without overpowering the meat's flavour. Vegetables were served separately and everything was pipping hot.The next difficult decision was which sweets to choose from. I had a very tasty Bakewell tart and would happily have had seconds.

We keep coming back to this lovely restaurant which has two dining areas decorated in the style of a comfortable old vicarage. Tables are set beautifully with white napkins and a posy of garden flowers. Diana looks after front of house and is an excellent hostess. Sean is the amazing chef providing delicious meals with ingredients sourced locally. The list of home made desserts goes on forever! Overall a great and relaxed experience highly recommended and not to be missed!

Taken to this restaurant by friends who live locally we came from London. It was a step back in time, like eating in someone’s front room in the 1800, but the food was excellent all cooked fresh, reasonable choice, excellent service and an atmosphere that was totally unique. Loved it thank you Diana x

My husband and I have just come back from having a beautiful tea here. This is the first time we have been here for tea as we usually come for either lunch or dinner. The cakes/sandwiches were delicious and well presented, there were so many of them that we actually left some, which is unusual for us to leave any food. As usual Diana was welcoming. The Easter decorations were tasteful.Thank you again Diana. Looking forward to bringing our family and friends here for Peter's birthday with you in June. We know we are going to be so well looked after.

En el momento en que no era el lugar más fácil de encontrar con un automóvil, ahora hay nuevas señales claras.Aparte de las decoraciones navideñas que todavía estaban a la vista, era un poco extraño.Nuestra bienvenida fue amable y buena. El servicio fue excelente y la comida agradable.

Had a wonderful evening meal. warm friendly service. The food is all local produce, I particulary enjoyed the smoked salmon & homemade bakewell tart. We will most certainly be back & recommend it to friends & family.

I took my mum for a mother's day lunch on Sunday, very surprised to see Xmas decorations up, Xmas crackers on the table and the gift for mum was a novelty Xmas crackers with chocolates inside, not what I expect to see at the end of March! Also the soup was nice but served with a lotus biscuit on the side which I saved to go with my pud. The food was good but I won't be going there again.

Me llevé a mi madre aquí para el almuerzo del día de la madre. No puedo entender por qué tenían las decoraciones de Navidad, las galletas de Navidad en la mesa y el regalo para mamá era una novedad de Navidad con chocolates en el interior, ¡raro! ¡No es lo que quiero ver a finales de marzo! Además, la sopa se servía con una galleta de loto en el lado y la opción vegetariana no era lo que pedí. Totalmente arruinado el día para nosotros. No volveremos

Finalmente pudimos visitar Old Rectory el jueves pasado, mi prima ha estado cantando alabanzas durante siglos, diciéndome lo increíble que era y que era su lugar favorito para una buena comida. Mucho para vivir, pero definitivamente no nos decepcionó. Elegimos del menú de almuerzo de snowdrop, todo sonaba increíble y cuando llegó fue simplemente encantador. La señora que atendió fue amable, atenta y totalmente encantadora. La comida fue preparada a la perfección y toda la experiencia fue fantástica. ¡No puedo creer lo barato que era! Fácilmente podría esperar pagar el doble de lo que decía la factura y me hubiera gustado hacerlo. Sin duda volveremos!

Nuestra primera visita aquí fue muy interesante y agradable. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos en una noche muy concurrida para el restaurante y el pequeño equipo aquí. Muy como comedor privado en la casa de alguien. Precios del vino apropiados y razonables. Selección de comida y calidad muy buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda volveremos e intentaremos el almuerzo la próxima vez.

A lovely place for a fantastic meal in a nice setting!

Loved The old Rectory and Highly recommend it.Ski

Amazing food and great service. Highly recommended. One of the best meals I've ever had. Completely unique and very exclusive.

Small and quaint Beautiful settings fantastic food good portions friendly atmosphere and not to expensive would recommend going if you like local food they also do great Sunday dinners

We were a party of four, and this was our first visit - it won't be our last!

V. good service. Food OK. If it's raining don't wear high heels as you have to walk across bumpy pebbles etc. Lovely old building.

This lovely double fronted stone building has two dining areas decorated in the style of a comfortable old vicarage. Tables are set beautifully with white napkins and a posy of garden flowers. Diana looks after front of house and is an excellent hostess. Shaun is the excellent chef providing delicious meals with ingredients sourced locally. The list of home made desserts goes on forever! Overall a great and relaxed experience highly recommended

Four of us dined at the rectory this June with somewhat mixed results. Two excellent dishes and two so so. The hostess was terrific and service excellent. The venison and the lamb dishes were both excellent , however the duck was so so. It was explained to us that the duck was precooked in terms of the entire duck was roasted and then pieces of duck served with sauce, so we had fair warning, however the end resultt was not at all to our liking , essentially warmed up duck with a sweet sauce. I'd pass on that one. Else the meal was great and I would recommend the restaurant.

The old recovery was lovely very homely and welcoming. The food was amazing we had the o/d's for starter which was a great array of fruit meat fish and salad. My daughter got to try alsorts I wouldn't normally buy and after her trying new things I can now buy them.

Fantastic food and lots of it. Also won't break the bank.

We had quite a large family gathering for a "Significant Birthday" - there were 28 of us so had decided that a pre-ordered finger buffet was probably a good option. We had the 2 front rooms to ourselves and we (just) fitted in! Lovely welcome from the owner and her staff and we were well looked-after throughout our stay. The buffet was plentiful and very tasty, all enjoyed in delightful elegant surroundings. As another reviewer has said recently, it was a bit like visiting a family home. We all loved it. Highly recommended.

I visited with friends at the end of March. Slightly difficult to find and unusual set-up in that it was like having a meal in someone's front room...but I have to say the food was excellent. I would return should I require a more intimate venue, but if you like eating in a restaurant with some other folk around and plenty of atmosphere, this is probably not for you. BUT attention to detail, quality of food and service could not be faulted and the bill was very reasonable.
