We were regular visitors until recently. Our last visit was terrible. We called for Saturday breakfast. Our breakfasts were thrown on the plates. Didn’t look appetising at all and didn’t taste much better. I was given a chipped cup with my pot of tea.When I complained I was told they were all chipped. We won’t be calling at The Conservatory again.

Staff welcoming and set up a table for where we wanted to sit. We went on a steak night. One of us had rare to medium rib eye and one had a rump steak well done and they were both done to perfection along with chosen veg. Relaxing place to place to enjoy an excellent meal.

Got married here. Everything was perfect from the rooms the guests stopped in, the buffet at the wedding and all the staff were spot on.

We visited on a Sunday and the cafe was very busy, with only one member of staff front of house taking orders and making coffee / tea, serving cakes etc, so service was pretty slow. We had intended to have a snack, but nothing looked appealing, and it also looked expensive for what you got, so we just had a coffee. We love strong, robust coffee and ordered an espresso and americano, so nowhere to hide. The coffee was truly awful however - bitter and acrid; a couple of small sips and we just left it. It states that the coffee is bird life friendly and I whole heartedly commend that, we are RSPB members after all, but I don’t understand why that should compromise taste and quality. Suffice to say we’ll be taking a flask and picnic on our next visit and we went home after our walk to get a cafetière on the go. On the plus side, the young lady making the drinks was really pleasant and good humoured, despite being incredibly busy, and the design of the cafe, which overlooks the reserve is in a great location … if only the coffee was good.

Just thought I would mention to you all out there who have never been in here before on a Sunday Afternoon to come along. There’s Bingo Quickly 4 and a Quiz on,a chance to win beer chits if you win the quiz. £75 for wining the Quickly 4 and the bingo top prize is around £100. This place has a great atmosphere on a Sunday Lunchtime. Even Cliffy Albert and Mick the top quiz masters might let you have a few bits of cheese or a Quale egg.

Absolutely Outstanding – Top 3 Dining Experience Me and my girlfriend made a 35-minute drive just to try the halloumi parmo at The White Hart Inn—and it was so worth it. The parmo was absolutely delicious, and I had the smothered chicken in Stilton which was a solid 10/10. What really stood out though was the service. The owner, Nathan, served us personally. My meal came with a smaller portion of chips, and before I could even say anything, he was already back from the kitchen with extra. That kind of attentiveness and genuine care is rare. Nathan is an absolute gent, and the whole experience—from food to service—was faultless. Without a doubt, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Easily in my top 3 dining experiences. Well worth the drive and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know.

Popped in for a drink & made very welcome by customers & staff. Nice comfortable atmosphere.
