Great evening at the town house. Food was lovely and the staff are so friendly and helpful especially Mark, he went out of his way to make it a lovely birthday meal, when a rendition of Happy birthday was had. He helped with my mums food by cooking something off the menu to satisfy her needs. Entertained the kids with colouring books and pens and an asset to the town house.

I’ve been here before and it was ok not great but ok. However, tonight it was diabolical the worst meal ever and the waitress trying to pull the wool over my eyes. So we ordered and paid. Got our drinks, you know the drink you like to drink with your meal. Not tonight though I had mine sipped all the way down then chewed on the ice whilst still waiting for our meal. That may sound a bit picky but 3/4 of an hour waiting for a pizza that never came might put a better light on things. A bad smell of burning came from the kitchen. Eventually we had no choice but to search out a member of staff to ask when were we going to get our food. Oh dear the chef forgot. Great but said he had burnt them but didn’t bother to tell us, so would put on fresh ones but only after we asked. Eventually they came. But only 2 other customers in the entire restaurant they were not exactly rushed off their feet. I had a margarita. I generally like a margarita but this was crispy, thinner than the paper the menu was written on and yes burnt. Where’s the chips we ordered. Here comes the wool over the eyes. Mmmm they come at a separate time. Like 15 minutes after we finished eating the paper. I could have gone outside got in my car gone back to where I live gone to our local chippy and driven back quicker. You ever had those biscuits known as “Thins” well compared to this pizza they would be known as “thick’s” I would have taken photos but I didn’t have macro lens for the thickness. I hate giving a bad review but having heard a member of staff say “Oh S#%t there’s chips as well I’m going to. we will never be back, shame because the Town house in years gone by was usually good. I couldn’t/ wouldn’t recommend anyone go there for pizza based on this experience. Especially when there are other better restaurants close by.

Great food, great staff, nice surroundings. Not wheelchair accessible in terms of any ramp, instead there are several steps. Staff apologetic and said Council will not allow alterations, as it is a listed building. Need more staff as service could easily become slow, if it got busier. Would highly recommend. Thank you 😀🙏

Place seems lovely. Went there at 7.30 pm, it had been busy and there was only gammon for the carvery. We were offered chicken breasts also and sausage though so happy with that. Pretty good prices. View of the River is pretty. Would definitely go back just earlier for the carvery.

I had a carvery, chose beef as my meat , unfortunately it wasn't edible, no taste , tuff & chewy .Wouldn't recommend . Atmosphere was more like a kindergarten. Lady in wheelchair had to be carried down flight of stairs to access restaurant by 4 people.

Came in for £6 carvery gammon was amazingly soft d tasty. Girlfriend didn't fancy carvery so took advantage of the 50% pizza so fresh and filling. Sat down by the river what a fantastic view. Some ongoing maintenance work but didn't bother us. Staff were helpful and friendly couldn't do enough for us.

Two and a half years ago I came for a carvery whilst visiting my family (on holiday from Australia), this holiday the only thing on my itinerary apart from hanging out with siblings and their kids was to come back! Absolutely fantastic food, and friendly staff! See you in a couple of years 😁

Table for 9 people - only 8 mains turned up. 9th main was a salad, and when it finally arrived it was a side salad, not a main, but the server had gone before we had chance to query it. Eventually a main salad was delivered with an apology that the chef hadn’t noticed it was a main. Ordered dessert and 3 of them didn’t turn up. Waitress said she had to go and make them herself! This place was always our go to for a carvery, but no more. It has gone downhill quite considerably and we won’t be back.

A Delightful Sunday Experience Today, I enjoyed a delightful Sunday carvery accompanied by a refreshing glass of orange juice for lunch. The turkey was moist, and the roast potatoes and vegetables were cooked to perfection—all for a reasonable price of £15.64. My friend and I opted to have our lunch outside to soak in the lovely weather and the beautiful view. Although finding a parking spot can be a bit challenging, I was fortunate enough to secure a space right outside the premises. Overall, it was an enjoyable afternoon, made even better by the welcoming staff!

We met friends here for the unlimited breakfast and it was spot on. Matt was behind the bar and gave us a warm welcome. We had 2 adult breakfasts amd a child's breakfast, 2 of which were vegetarian. At £7.49 for the adults and £5.49 for the kid, it was superb value for money. Lovely view over the river too. Highly recommended for a decent, no frills, unlimited breakfast with great service. Thanks to Matt and the blonde lady (we didnt get her name!) who were looking after us, they were great!

Visited today for lunch, I must say we enjoyed the carvery and the ambiance. However, we are disappointed with the lunch my daughter was served. She loves mac n cheese and she would order it in any restaurant we go to and she’d finished it every time. However, this is the first time my daughter did not enjoy her mac n cheese. She said the sauce is watered down, I tried and it tasted like out of tin. And the pizza dough balls are tasteless and over all doesn’t look appetising at all, also had to wait long for it to be served for a bowl of mac n cheese. Not worth it for the price either. She did not finish it and ended up buying her something somewhere else instead. Not the kind of Sunday lunch we were hoping for all of us unfortunately so giving 2 stars for food for that reason.

Here's a 5-star review for the carvery at The Stonehouse: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently visited The Stonehouse for their carvery, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The carvery itself was exceptional. The meats were cooked to perfection – tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The selection of vegetables was fresh and plentiful, and the gravy was rich and delicious. Everything was piping hot and served with generous portions. I also loved the variety of sides and the dessert options were a real treat to finish off the meal. It was a great experience from start to finish, and I’ll definitely be back for another round of their amazing carvery. Highly recommended!

Will 100% be going for a carvery there very soon. Will add that the packaging is great as can be recycled & had obviously been well thought out. Great job at "Stonehouse " from the Townhouse.

Went this evening to try as haven't been in years - my 9yr old wanted a burger which we waited for nearly 45mins for - manager apologetic as they had offer on pizza tonight. Carvery was OK, should have been a choice of 4 meats but both beef & Gammon had run out by 6.45pm - some of the mash was hard on top due to heat lamps, stuffing was dry & hard. We had a voucher but still feel that it was overpriced - won't be back in a hurry - wouldn't recommend & would choose alternative carvery restaurant over here.

We had the best night at The Red Lion! From the second we arrived, Holly made us feel like VIPs. She was warm, attentive, and full of energy—nothing was too much trouble. You could tell she genuinely cared that everyone was having a great time, and her positive attitude set the tone for the entire evening. The live music was absolutely brilliant—great selection, talented performers, and just the right volume so you could still chat at your table. It added such a fun, vibrant atmosphere to the night. Between Holly’s top-tier service and the fantastic entertainment, we didn’t want to leave. Can’t recommend The Red Lion enough—already planning our next visit!

The Cottage Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience overall, with some minor but notable areas for improvement. The standout positives were the quality of the food and the exceptional service. Our server was incredibly polite and friendly, making us feel welcome and attended to throughout our meal. The food itself was also fantastic; each dish was well-prepared and delicious, showcasing the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. However, the restaurant's bar area needs some attention. There appears to be no formal queuing system, which led to a frustrating free-for-all where patrons pushed in front of others. Implementing a clear queuing system would greatly improve the customer experience in this area. Additionally, I have a small suggestion regarding the prawn baguette. While the filling was delicious, cutting the baguette completely in half caused the sauce to spill out, making it quite messy to eat. Perhaps cutting it partially or serving it whole would prevent this issue. Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still recommend The Cottage Restaurant for its excellent food and service. Addressing the bar's queuing issue and modifying the baguette presentation would elevate the experience from very good to truly outstanding. I look forward to returning and hope to see these improvements implemented.

The food was OK. It didn't appear to be fresh from the kitchen and looked a little dry. I found the portion size and dryness disappointing considering the cost of the dish. There was also a black hair which can be seen beside the gravy jug in the attached photo. The staff didn't seem very positive. It may have been a busy afternoon.
