The Town House in Doncaster

Not the place it used to be. Gone dirty and the gents toilet was disgusting as it looked like it hadn't been properly and hygienically bathroom cleaned for weeks. Service was slow and staff run off their feet because there wasn't enough of them. The once glorious soughdough bread has gone and there are no tea cakes (at Easter!!!). Such a shame as I used to enjoy going here....but not anymore. For the prices you pay, it is poor value for money. The owners have run the place down and should be ashamed. It used to be great

I am not someone who enjoys writing negative reviews but today, I feel I must comment on my lunchtime experience. The sandwiches (served with chips) started from £15! My friend and I didn’t want anything too filling, so we asked if we could just have a simple sandwich and were told ‘no’. There was nothing else on the menu that was reasonably priced so we opted for a hot cross bun. We expected it to be served just with butter, but it came toasted and we hadn’t been given a choice. Two customers who won’t be going back! There are lots of people who would prefer a lighter lunch during the day and I fear that you will lose a lot of custom by not catering for us.

We went for Sunday brunch with friends. I ordered toast- thinking it would be the standard 2 slice portion- it was in fact 1 slice- not so bad except it cost £ 3.00 !! Sorry but it’s over priced !!

Welcoming staff and good service. Wasn’t expecting much as had read a few negative reviews. However we all enjoyed our meals. Overpriced for some items like a soda and lime for £3.50. Would like to return for the scones.

The place could do with a bit of a clean and TLC. It’s such a sweet building and has seen many changes of hands over the years. As for how it is now, it’s ridiculously overpriced to the point that I wonder how it’s still open. It was quiet and most were having drinks and maybe a scone. The prices are the reason why. On the lite bites menu a fish finger sandwich was £14!! A salad was £17!! This is Bawtry on a drizzly Monday not Leicester Square. We ordered two soups and shared a pot of tea which came to £20. The soups were really tasty to be fair but the pricing is crazy and the decor (footballers wives) not really to my taste but each to their own. Don’t think we will be returning.

A totally different experience than a year ago Im afraid it seemed far too expensive for 2 Cappuccinos and 2 Goats cheese salads at £39! However, it was delicious and although the goats cheese was NOT a big round chunk with rind, grilled, (like Cheese Society in Lincoln)..it was a pleasant small ‘round’ of goats cheese x 3 with a fresh fig, a delicious impressive caramelised pear slice, chopped walnuts and dressed mixed leaves. The environment was vibrant and cosy at the same time and the staff were delightful. Clean toilets and worth going. So from my 1 star just over a year ago, I now give it 4/5 and that is simply down to the price. It should be £12.95 NOT £16.95

I came with my friends after a day spent wedding dress shopping and we had a really frustrating experience. My friend has a number of allergies and since we didn't know what time we would be finished with the appointments, we chose this venue as she has 'dropped in' before and they have been able to easily accommodate her. After being greeted and seated by a lovely, young waitress we were then approached by a much ruder member of staff who was immediately defensive and started to complain that she didn't want a lawsuit on her hands as the business was privately owned and "couldn't afford it". We explained that our friend has eaten here before and the waitress said because of the commercial kitchen, they don't have the facilities to offer us ANYTHING. The menu states that everything is freshly prepared and they are happy to cater for special requirements so this really shouldn't have been an issue. We asked why the menu says this and she sharply said "we are but you didn't give us notice did you". We then explained that our friend has walked in before and been able to eat and her response was "well its the same chef and he's not said that to me". She was extremely rude and was more worried about a lawsuit than customer service. She even started talking about why McDonald's cups say "Hot" because they were sued and said "one person ruins it for the rest"....in other words she wasn't going to let us eat because she didn't want a lawsuit. We even suggested simple dishes that our friend could eat (jacket potato, chicken salad, pasta) and again, she blamed the commercial kitchen and said "we can't guarantee they'll be no cross-contamination"....so if you have allergies don't eat here! What she didn't know, is that we have worked in the industry for a number of years and we know exactly how commercial kitchens work. This should not have been a problem.  She also kept mentioning that they had a private party for 43 people that the chefs had to prioritise. Our custom was obviously not as important. She even shrugged and said "well I close in 20 minutes anyway". If this were the case why were we seated and given menus in the first place?  After this awful experience, we had to ask for the bill which she slapped on our table. Now, had this happened where we work, we would have at least offered the coffees as complimentary (as we only ordered them because we thought we would be eating). Not the point but it would have been a nice gesture after such a bad experience. Unfortunately we didn't get the name of the waitress who was rude, unhelpful and extremely unprofessional. We all stayed very calm and were simply asking why nothing could be offered when theres plenty of simple dishes our friend could eat (the younger, nicer waitress actually offered us scones, so this waitress was just being unreasonable) but this waitress spoke to us quite aggressively to the point where other tables were looking. You don't expect to be treated this way because one of your party has allergies. Appalling service. Will not be back. Would not recommend. Avoid if you have allergies.

Visited with friends following an outing of wedding dress shopping; arrived to be seated by a friendly waitress. The interior and decor is lovely & very unique. We ordered hot drinks to start with and perused the menu. My friend (the bride) has several allergies and has visited before with no issues, which is why we decided to visit again- only to be told they could not offer her anything due to her allergens. It states on the menu: “All our dishes are freshly prepared and we are happy to cater to special requirements.” Wrong. This is certainly a case of Misrepresentation. When we spoke with the ‘manager’ or supervisor, she simply said that as a commercial kitchen contamination was a high probability and they simply couldn’t risk the possible lawsuit. Also- The chef was too busy preparing for a table of 43 that were due in the evening. Shocked and aware of how this could negatively impact my friend, I pushed further even offering suggestions of dishes that my friend could eat; a simple pasta or a chicken salad?? No. The inflexibility and lack of customer service was astounding. Very disappointing and certainly put a dampener on what should’ve been a happy occasion. I wonder what the owners would think to losing what could’ve been a bill of £100+?! 🤯 especially in today’s financial climate; something the supervisor made us more than aware of! The only reason this is a 2 star review and not 1 is that the coffee was good and the younger staff member was lovely. In any case, I won’t be back.

Special Easter Menu cancelled. However most of menu, slightly altered was made available via friendly service. Chef provided a very good meal and experience with seafood excellent Always good food regardless of occasion Recommended ,

Our meals were tasty but found seating uncomfortable and decor dreary but that's a personal thing.we're actually horrified to be charged £7 for two smallish soda and limes, £1 each for a shot of lime that you could hardly taste but also £2.50 for 200ml of soda for Gods sake where do they get it from!!! Also I was still eating when waitress started to clear my plate away when she realised she a ppologised but not really acceptable. Definately wouldn't return

Certainly not up to the standards of before. Not been for a while but its not up to much now. Very bog standard.

Dreadful!!! Service very poor!! So slow!! Resturant cold, it was cold windy wet day too. Ambience none! Staff glum not chatty or smile or cheery on arrival hospitality skills not great 2 of us ordered chicken schnitzel with sweet potato fries 1 ordered steak ciabatta with sweet potatoe fries we sat and waited and waited probs half hour,food finally came chicken was cold fries scraggy greasy in small pan, Salad well it was couple green leaves with one strand of red onion we advised waitress food cold she took it away it came back,still was cold !!! Food not Great at all Very disappointing We wont ever return here... Dreadful !!

Poor Poor and Poor. Duck nest Dry, overpowering sauce and overpriced Crab balls bland without any dipping sauce and tasteless OVERPRICED AT £9 EACH Goats Cheese Salad, poor cheese, (Aldi)? Average Salad Thick greasy batter, dry mashed peas! Dry over cooked meat kebab with rice, flat bread, TfL’s Tajikistan and oil with garlic. Can’t say any more….so upset. A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY LUNCH drastically went wrong!

We visited the restaurant on Saturday having booked a table on line as we are not from the area. Don’t think we’ll be going again. I ordered the chicken hanging skewers with chilli, honey and lime. No mention of coriander. Yet… coriander seemed to be in everything. Very overpowering and I hate it. Would certainly not have ordered that if the menu had been accurate. The rice was cold and the flatbread seemed as it had been taken out of the freezer and barely thawed. Not all staff were wearing masks or even face shields and I noticed one waiter taking glasses to another table with his fingers inside the glasses.

Whilst all customers entering to building had to wear masks, we noticed that very few staff had themselves masks or face shields on, and when mentioned we were told it "was for the staff's wellbeing" - sorry but that is unacceptable for the wellbeing of your customers and to comply with government covid rules. We shall not be going in there again. Very disappointed.

The food here is excellent and I have visited a few times at lunchtime when it has been very pleasant... but beware Fizz Friday with its bottomless Prosecco!! £30 buys you a main course and as much Prosecco as you can drink in a couple...

Visited for the first time on the 25th sept 2020, service by katie was superb, and the food was lovely, made our visit a very pleasant experience. We will be going again.

I have been on numerous occasions and I have always been impressed, friendly staff, brilliant food and a sunday lunch to die for.

Went in for lunch, staff very friendly and helpful. We were seated at our table quickly and had our drinks order taken, which arrived in good time. Our meals were well presented and delicious! Would highly recommenced a visit to this bar and restaurant. We...

Walked to this local for breakfast, service poor and very slow. Sat outside - no one came, we went inside to get our our menus.Drinks arrived first, followed by food 10 mins later, coffee was finished by then. Asked for a glass of water, 10 mins later still no water. Definitely gone down hill in terms of service. Such a shame !!

Called for breakfast yesterday with my friend . I ordered Avocado on toast with spinach and poached egg £8 My friend Is vegan ordered the same without the egg she was charged £8When it came there was one slightly toasted pice of bread with what looked and tasted like catering avocado paste a little limp spinach and one egg !!! My friend got the same without the egg!!! She wasn’t even offered a discount . We actually were quite shocked at the lack of food on our plates !!! I wish I had taken a photo. Definitely will not be visiting again .

First try of this place. Easy to book for six. Nice table, well spaced from others. Staff well trained and PPE. Disposable menus. Good variety of food, reasonably priced and served without too much delay. Staff very friendly. Can order from the table by text.

Before Lockdown have supported this venue, inside & outside, day & evening. I have found the outside service to be disappointing.After Lockdown, I visited on Saturday afternoon , 25 July & sat outside for drinks. Yes the service was very slow but I can accept this under current circumstances. What I can’t accept is the lack of sanitising tables after each table was vacated. Also a table that had been reserved was not labelled as such to avoid 2 separate parties attending the same table.This is intended as a well meaning constructive criticism & not a damnation. I want to support my local businesses but they need to be aware they are falling short. We are all in a learning curve at the moment but, if nobody makes these businesses aware, they will never improve.Will definitely visit again but home to see some improvements.

Absolutely delicious! Came here today with four others to have a brunch during our camping getaway. All had variations of breakfast fry ups & they were all so tasty! My veggie breakfast was to die for, absolutely perfect!

My friend and I had a lovely Sunday roast, the staff were lovely and attentive, and a lot of effort has been made to ensure people are sticking to government guidelines regarding social distancing. will be going back to try lunch soon

We visited for our valentine's meal this year and were not disappointed. Service was good and the food was amazing. It was really good value for money and my glass was definitely "bottomless!" The ladies even got a gift which was a lovely touch. Would not hesitate to recommend, the fillet steak and pepper sauce were amazing!

This was our first experience for dinner , although we’d been many times before for the fantastic breakfast available at the town house Our food was excellent, really perfectly prepared and the service was excellent , also reasonably priced , unfortunately we were seated in the private dining area which was away from the main restaurant, having said that the efforts the staff made to make sure our dining experience was 5 star , offering to move us into the main area made the evening for us we will definitely return for the evening and continue to visit for breakfast

Myself and my daughter came for an impromptu lunch and had the best sandwich we’ve ever had, the fries and salad on the side had so much detail, we would definitely recommend this place

Nipped for one drink with the family wished I’d not bothered beer a gin a Diet Coke and a small wine £20 lad should of been wearing a stripy jumper and I was certain he made it up tapping the till because he saw £20 in my hand I knew it would be dearer than normal because of bawtry being up it’s on a**se but this was extortion the place was empty on a Saturday night and I can see why it was nice inside and decent atmosphere I would probably go again but will have to wait till my numbers come up on the lottery before I do so.

Would not recommend this place. It used to be good but the service was so slow and the food was rubbish. Overpriced. Opted for a gluten free sandwich light lunch. The bread was dire, the bacon was fatty and not cooked enough ( as requested). Cheap nasty cranberry slapped on the bacon. Salad covered in mustard dressing but not told about this and lots of big chunky tasteless chips. Not exactly a light bite. Husband had a tasteless burger. Not going back, wasn't asked if everything was ok when paying the bill.

Anyone local to Bawtry will know that the Town House has been through many changes over the last few years and we'd stopped using it, until last Friday when I went with the girls for Fizz Friday night and I was really impressed!! All our food was lovely (recommend the herb crusted cod if you like your fish!) but it was the staff who really made the evening! Our waiter Mahesh deserves a medal for the professional way he dealt with us - with our many questions, changes to orders, request for one pudding and 4 spoons!! (even providing a sample of the wine so I could decide which one I liked) Good service and good food (& really good value if you do Fizz Friday and drink a lot of Prosecco!) - if you're in the village and hungry - give them a go!

The service got slower and poorer as the evening progressed. When we got to ordering dessert we were told that due to a busy Saturday lunchtime there was only two choices- for a restaurant who claimed to cook from scratch how come?!

Called in here on route back to the Midlands, were pleasantly surprised it was quite busy, but the girls managed to sort a table out for us. They served up decent coffee and very good scones, nice atmosphere to the place. So would definitely return if we happen to be driving through that way again.

Called in after doing some holiday shopping with my husband. We havnt been for a long time as our last visit over 2 yrs ago was disappointing. So we were very pleased to see new staff and the place has had a makeover with lovely bright colours we were greeted by a very pleasant waiter and soon seated and drinks ordered which came very quickly our food ordered I had the Gin Salmon my husband had the quiche a little wait but the food prepared fresh It came very well presented and was very tasty and enjoyable after I had the Bakewell tart hubby had banoffii we enjoyed our lunch and found the staff very friendly and attentive we shall certainly call in again when in the area

I'll start with the positives- The girls who served us were lovely. The main meal I had of fish and chips ok but nothing special. The coffee is nice. The ambience although a very busy day outside was pleasant and they had a live singer who was really good. My daughters meal not as good. She ordered chicken ceasar salad. It was just not worth the money I'm afraid and she said the chicken didn't taste fresh. We complained about the chicken and one of the girls apologised. The drinks half pint of coke are £2.50 each. We had 2 desserts £6.00 each. The banoffee pie was poor. No runny caramel just a wedge of what I would say was sugar with cheap squirty cream and a few banana pieces. It was that sickly and sugary I couldn't eat the base. The menu needs changing and also needs to be value for money. I'm afraid I wont be returning which is a shame as I visited previously at the start of the year and it was a lot better then.

Called in for a drink after having a meal elsewhere. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Had a good laugh with the barmen as they sorted drinks - two pints of lager, an alcohol free lager and a large glass of red were reasonably priced in my opinion having drunk in far more expensive places.

Popped into this establishment 6th August on a hot day to buy a coupe of soft drinks to quench a thirst. I ordered two black current and soda drinks. They came in small glass-half pint size and the total cost was £4.00 - that is day Light robbery in any establishment. My lady who was with me had bought the same drink elsewhere the day before for 23pence. To top it all there was no toilet paper in the gents. My advice to who ever owns this place is to get real about your pricing structure and stop robbing people after all Bawtry is not such an exotic place

My mother and I visited the townhouse today for a late breakfast, both ordering a variation on the eggs benedict- one a florentine & the other the traditional benedict. Everything was going smoothly apart from the slow service, however though it was quite busy whilst we was there since it was 12pm on a Saturday. Drinks were fab, service from the waitressing staff was positive, manager- not so much alongside the 1 hour 30 minute wait for 2 brunches.

Delightfully decorated, a fantastic menu and freindly welcoming staff make this venue a must.

A quick visit for coffee - very good. But the place has changed & in my opinion not for the better. We were told breakfast has finished & lunch wouldn’t be served until 12. Glad we only wanted a coffee!!

Had a fantastic time with friends and colleagues, Fizz Friday offer, Fillet Steak sandwich lovely, great service glass never empty with the bottomless Prosecco, best porn star martinis. Great way to start your weekend.

My wife and I called in on the spur of the moment on Sunday to get a quick meal.

This is the second time I have been to this restaurant, both times on the Fizz Friday offer. The first time I had the Thai green curry which was nice but yesterday I paid the supplement of 5 pounds to upgrade to the fillet steak and wow!!! It was amazing!!! Cooked to perfection! Would not hesitate to come back again and would now always have the steak! I thouroughly recommend the fizz Friday deal if you are going out with friends, you know excatly what you are all paying with no awkwardness when the bill comes along and the Prosecco is definitely free flowing!!!! The waitresses could not have been more attentive to us and were lovely! We all had a fantastic evening “thank you to the chef and a the staff at the town house!

I’m very disappointed to write this review as, what used to be The Town House Tea Rooms was a great place to go a couple of years ago. My friend and I met for lunch here earlier this week. The service was very friendly and as there were lots of free tables, we didn’t have to wait long. We both had fish finger sandwiches which were fine although the curly chips were only just warm. We also had a glass of wine each. The shock came when we received our bill which amounted to £34 !!!! I’ve eaten for less in some London restaurants !! We were also very disappointed that the menu was set, whereas before it had soup of the day and lovely homemade quiche to choose from. Needless to say we won’t be dining there again.

My husband and I stopped here for a light lunch on our way south. I fancied a bowl of soup but there was none on the menu. Between us we had one teacake, one scone with jam and cream and two regular coffees. The scone, which was dry, came with poor quality jam and only enough cream for one half. The teacake was small and not of the best quality. For this we were charged £14. I expected change from £10! I would not visit this establishment again.

Group of girls, of course, for the Fizz Friday special. Food was excellent and waiter was attentive and happy to chat. The Prosecco kept coming without us needing to prompt anyone and we were not made to feel uncomfortable as we moved onto another bottle. Definitely recommend for a night out and will be returning with a different group of friends as I enjoyed it so much.

We’ve had an amazing time and the staff have been so accommodating, we had our own private room and the food was amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone :-)

Met a friend for breakfast, great choice on the menu, think breakfast is served untill 11.45am then they move onto lunches. Everything was freshley prepared & very tasty

We went here for coffee and cake. The cake never arrived. By the time our coffee has just about been drunk we enquired about our cake. Only to be told we had a further 5 minutes wait.

Comfortable great reception attentive staff and the breakfast menu is really good or even just a coffe visit whilst waiting the other half in th hairdressers any excuse for me to sample this establishment

Came to Bawtry for a couple of nights, didn't have a reservation but was able to get seated ok. Food and Drinks excellent, served by Emma on this occasion, who was super friendly and even talked us into booking a table for Valentines Day. Great for informal fun dining.

Went for a trip to town house on Saturday and it blew all our expectations with great prices on cocktails the flaming zombie was an experience in itself and the bartender making a lovely show setting it on fire and throwing the bottles around, the food was absolutely delicious such a great selection and the waitress was so attentive she made sure everything was perfect for us. They made our date night special and enjoyable. I Highly recommend this hidden gem. We will be back again soon.

Still a lovely looking bar and restaurant area but they have absolutely lost their way on menu choices and staff training

I have given this place one star because it won’t allow me to give none!!Had a Saturday night table of 4 for dinner and were extremely disappointed. The place is a joke there was some kind of attempt at a DJ stood right in front of the door and playing god knows what far too loud. We were sat at our table in the restaurant to have what was meant to be a nice dinner and couldn’t even hear ourselves speak. To top it all a group of very drunk youths were then seated at the table beside us drinking cocktails and eating a bowl of chips between the 4 of them !! What kind of a restaurant is this ? The food was worse than poor and the staff were all untidy and disinterested it seems that the owner has more money than sense ! The restaurant looks fantastic but there is clearly no chef in the kitchen who can cook. Maybe they should concentrate more on the staff and the food than the decor! Definitely will not be returning

Having had a lovely shopping afternoon with my daughter we then decided to have afternoon tea at the town house ...... Having asked if they did afternoon tea we was told they could do a scone . Plain, cheese or fruit we both ordered fruit scone and coffee a hot fruit scone arrived with a small pot of butter !!! No jam.no cream no explanation of why that was it no one came near to ask if everything was OK basically if your not a regular customer in this establishment and on first name terms forget it .

Quiet comfortable mid week meal at a reasonable price. Excellent service and very easy parking outside in centre of Bawtry. Delicious coffee too. Sadly didn’t manage the wine list but the Goose IPA was available.

First visit here for lunch. My wife had a lovely salmon salad and I had the Cumberland sausage and mashed potatoes. Both meals were very tasty and the service was fine. We enjoyed a couple of latte's each and was pleasantly pleased with the whole experience. Not the cheapest place for lunch but still we both agreed that we would eat there again.

Business breakfast and although there are certainly cheaper places to eat in Bawtry and possibly better service to be had (although this time service was fine here without being over the top excellent) the breakfast is very good!

Attended the town house to meet with old friends for lunch on a Saturday and it was busy but not busy enough to let service standards slip for the amount of staff working.

Visited The Town House on a quiet Saturday night for dinner. This place is completely lacking in direction. Why bother opening for dinner if you give people a lunch menu, it doesn’t take much effort to produce a dinner one if your food is fresh and locally sourced as is advertised. Staff inexperienced - no table checks, no offer of a refill drinks, no management. A g&t; was served with no garnish and with the whole bottle of tonic poured in.

Stopped here for lunch yesterday on our drive back to Scotland. First thing "greeted" by a woman saying I'll be with you in two minutes as she was preparing a bill. Eventually got seated. Waiter took our drinks and food order. Drinks came but no sign of food for ages. Meanwhile two separate waitresses came to our table. First one said are you ready to order. Second one said can I get you anything else. Aye our fish and chips!! Totally underwhelmed when we finally got our food. Wish we had gone somewhere else.

On our way home to Yorkshire, we made a quick trip to MISSON, stopping in Bawtry for lunch, and ordered Eggs Benedict, one of my husbands' favourites. They were delicious, and my husband said they were the best he has ever had in this country in the past 33 years since leaving the USA. Kudos to the Chef.

Visited for lunch today at 1:45pm, restaurant half full, sat outside. Service for food extremely slow, one meal over-cooked and extremely spicy. Paying the bill - staff did not know what to do, suspect I paid twice, I have to call tomorrow to check. An apology for the delay to the food was grudgingly given after two requests to check on the food. My second experience where the food has been extremely slow. 45 minutes for a steak sandwich and two lots of poached eggs on toast is too slow.

We booked this in advanced for 13 of us in the evening. We arrived on time and was encouraged to have drinks first which was all well. After we had all got our drinks the menu was supplied and it was the Lunchtime menu? Not much on it for dinner. We then asked for the dinner menu and what came back was a scribbled note stating that they only had 1 fillet steak and 3 fish!!!

A lovely lunch at the Town House. Lots of menu choice. We opted for Eggs Florentine and a Fish Finger gourmet sandwich. Huge portions and very tasty. Cute French bulldog puppy was up for cuddles too.

It seems this places relies on its location rather than its service.

Awful frozen food that is over prices and doesn’t come as stated on the menu which is ran by kids who can’t be bothered

Great food and service. Popped in with my girlfriend and our new puppy and ordered a bite to eat and a few drinks. The waitress was very polite and even brought the puppy a drink. The food was brilliant just a couple gourmet sandwiches but so tasty overall I will look forward to returning.

I took my friend for her birthday for afternoon tea, the food was great and we had plenty. However, the service wasn’t great. The waitresses looked run very busy constantly running around but the restaurant wasn’t full. I had to ask for the bill 3 times off 3 different people.

I have been to the Town House a few times now and the food is always delicious. Especially the fresh berry meringue!! The staff are very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

Despite walking into an empty bar on a Friday night still managed to not get served. I think no further comment is necesary on this appallingly poor service !

Arrived as a party of six, made to feel very welcome by the manager/owner(?). Very reasonably priced round of drinks before dinner.

Meet up with friends in Bawtry, lovely place to meet, very cozy. The food was good, if a little on the expensive side for lunch. Coffee was excellent, service could have been better, it took us quite a while to get our second coffee’s. Still a great little dinner though.

Early evening booking table of 4, only another 3 tables in the restaurant but starter took nearly an hour, only had 3 of the 4 main dishes to offer us. however once food arrived it was a great meal and manager apologised for everything that went wrong or were missing so we would return but hoping they get there reordering right for next time!

Came on Monday as a friend recommended the place and I was in bawtry so decided to come for lunch after a little bit of shopping. Was very quite and we was probably the only people in the restaurant at the time eating food and...

Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. Lovely roast beef with homemade

A cosy restaurant with a varied choice of good quality food reasonably priced. Friendly service closet to the castle . We all had different meals which were all to a great standard .....Worth a visit

We went to the Town House and we were told by the manager on arrival that there was a new chef who had only started 4 days previous. We decided to stay although we were disappointed at the start to hear there was a new chef. The starters we had were cray fish salad and this was brilliant, then for main one had sea bass with mixed veg and the other had breast of duck. Both of these dishes were exquisite. We are delighted and will certainly go again!

Had a wonderful meal today for our lunch. All freshly made and great value for money. All the staff were lovely and welcoming and attentive to our needs, especially the young lady who was front of house. Would highly recommend the town house .

Was in for lunch with a few colleagues excellent service excellent food

Visited today for Sunday Lunch after hearing good reviews. We were greeted by a young lady who seemed friendly enough but who seemed to take a long time in deciding whether we could have one of the SEVERAL tables that were empty . Once seated we were given menus (that had to be searched for) and left to have a browse. It took ages for our drinks order to be taken and twice as long for drinks to arrive. My partner made a comment about the Gobhi dessert but it went straight over the waitresses head like a soaring swallow. Food order taken another long wait, luckily we were in no rush. Starters were nice but mine was lukewarm and partners soup red hot. Roast beef and trimmings eventually arrive which was ok apart from my incredibly fatty beef. Waitress came to collect plates did the usual “everything ok with your meal” routine, so we advised her about beef. No apologies just a “ will let chef know” . We were both really looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch here but left feeling really disappointed. Slow service and only average food. Certainly won’t be in a hurry to rush back.

My family and I had afternoon tea here to celebrate Mother's day. The food was great quality, particularly the cakes and scones. Perhaps not enough sandwiches to cake ratio but we still enjoyed it and couldn't finish it all. The staff were attentive, especially considering how busy it was, particularly who I think was the manager in a suit (?). The waitresses took longer to respond but were still ok. The building itself was lovely, we liked the décor. The toilets were lovely and clean but had run out of paper towels (just a point to improve on!) We will be sure to return though :)

This is a traditional building and the staff are very welcoming. The ambiance is suitable and fits in with the market town. The food is good, perhaps a little expensive but well presented and tasty.

After a disappointing experience in cold weather on last visit , when we found the restaurant cold and uncomfortable, we are pleased to announce we returned today, for a different experience. The place was warm and welcoming, we had a lovely afternoon tea (couldn't eat it all) , Both the food and the service were perfect, restored our faith and would now definitely recommend, thankyou

Called here for a late breakfast / brunch, after my wife recommended it from a previous trip. Went for the kippers and my wife went for the eggs and salmon. Kippers tasted ok, and the poached eggs that came with it were nicely cooked. My wife’s food, the salmon was a bit grisly and the tomato a bit under cooked, but generally not too bad. Cost approx £30 for both of us, but then it is bawtry. All in all quite expensive for what it was. 0.5W

Popped in for lunch today. Our first visit. Menu looked promising and we ordered sandwiches and a portion of chips to share. Two coffees unexpectedly became large coffees when delivered to the table. Menu said sandwiches came in either Ciabatta or a wrap (whole meal I think) so I confirmed both were to be served in ciabatta when ordering. One - the club sandwich - came in toasted sliced bread. The taste was fine, just not what was ordered. Hubby had the steak sandwich which came in a brioche sub?! Not being a fan of brioche myself I’m glad I didn’t order that one. At no point were we asked if these substitutions were acceptable. This point was made when the waitress came over later, but no feedback or apology was provided. We finished our drinks and left £38 poorer. Bit expensive for two sandwiches, one bowl of fries, three coffees and a coke. Service was passable but not particularly friendly. Won’t rush back.

I visited on Sunday with my husband, son and friends this weekend after following The Townhouse on Instagram and seeing lots of photos of lovely food and thought it was worth a try. The waiter was very attentive (possibly a little too much) but we all ordered Sunday lunches. My husband and I ordered a bottle of water each and intended on sharing our lunch with our one year old. The plate consisted of mash, two thin slices of beef, one carrot, parsnips, green beans, gravy and a Yorkshire pudding. The meat was cooked to pink perfection and the veg and gravy was very tasty. The Yorkshire pudding seemed to be a frozen one which was disappointing given the quality of the rest of the food and I wouldn't say it was piping hot. The issue here was the size of the portions - we were still hungry after eating lunches which for £33 for two mains and two bottles of water is somewhat disappointing. Nice friendly staff and a lovely location but a little on the pricey side for what you actually get.
