Although the food is not bad and they have quite a variety on the menu I was very disappointed to have looked foward to potato fritters only to be told "we only do them on Mondays." The menu should clearly say this and it has put me off wanting to return.

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.
