£20 for a walk around a garden and a cream tea - you might think that would be eye-wateringly expensive. And to some degree you are right. This could be a description of the quintessential English experience. And yet, and yet ... even in the depths of winter this garden is exceptional. I began my walk feeling completely out-of-sorts, not uplifted by the well-meaning messages on little boards on the Truth Trail, and yet by the time I had found glorious fields of snowdrops and small glimpses of the tiny wonders that are the early spring crocus, I was well on my way to upliftment. The gardens are an utter enchantment. Everywhere there are signs of great husbandry and quiet wisdom. Simple imagery becomes clever symbolism; from the dark yew hedge hunched over in the centre of the broad expanse of lawn, to the exquisitely espalliered orchards and the order of the herbaceous borders, you are led to the magic of the little girl dancing upon her own reflection in the wide waters, and the child offering wisdom in the formality of the Silent Space. Even in the Walled Garden, the National Collection of Saxifrage blew me away - utterly stunning in both its setting and design. I came away utterly bowled over by the beauty of the gardens, happy to have spent the money. The lovely little cafe in the portacabin was delightful, and the cream tea delicious. I shudder to think what the queues and the wasps are like in summer, though. I will be brave and come back in summer though, because the gardens must be even more magical then. And because I have to see, with my own eyes, the huge swathe of camassia leichtlinii in bloom. And THAT'S something I never thought I would say in a Tripadvisor review! :D

Since a change of ownership several years ago, this shop has had its ups and downs. Happy to report that today we had cod and chips which was excellent. Light, crispy batter and a generous helping of chips, all well cooked. We'll be back

This place does not practice safe hygiene. I watch one of two guys in there literally thumb a bogie out of his nostril while cash handling, and then proceed to handle food, removing two pieces of incredibly overcooked looking fish with his bare hands. I challenged this behaviour and was laughed at and told to go away. A woman behind the counter started insisting I ‘Go, go, go’ whilst pointing to the door. Visit a chippy that deserves your business. Not this one.

We went to maureens yesterday for a sit down lunch when 4 adults came in with a dog and sat in the middle of the restaurant. The dog was jumping around even on top of the chairs and table. The dog was fed many times with thrown down food and by hand while standing on the chairs. The dog smelt it was by no means clean. The groups seat was only 2 feet away from a couple who left soon after their arrival leaving most of their lunch - I dont blame them it was a disgrace. The dog should never have been allowed in but if there is no law to stop this at least have the decency to sit out of the way as there was plenty of seats at the back wall. 0ur £26 lunch was ruined by inconsiderate people bringing their stinking dog into a nice clean restaurant where people are trying to eat but maureens did let them in.

Passing through the village we decided to drop in for a light bite and drink before continuing our journey. Was greeted by the pleasant landlady and took our food order. Sat by the wood log burner (nice) . The sandwiches when served were very tasty and well presented. If passing thru do pop in and give them your custom.

After a bracing walk along the Brigg we wanted to end our day at the coast with some fish and chips. They were freshly made so we had to wait a few minutes but it was worth it. Fish was beautifully cooked and not too much batter and I wasn't over faced by the chips - for once I ate every single bit on the tray. Only marked it down as they couldn't take card payments, only cash, as the machine wasn't working but I'd definitely go back.

We've dined at Cinder Belsize Park several times in the past and have enjoyed lovely, memorable meals with friends. This time, excitedly, we went to celebrate a significant occasion with our family and walked away horribly disappointed. There was no welcome greeting as we walked in, service was slow and we had to continue to ask for water, to place a drinks order, etc; we ordered some cocktails to start and the waitstaff joked to their colleague, in clear earshot, 'I have no idea how to make those', whereupon we were served G&Ts which felt like they'd been made with room-temp tonic; food was placed on the table with very little interaction, the service felt disengaged and unfriendly. Meanwhile, Deliveroo deliveries continued to be boxed up and dispatched in the table in front of us, and a chap unloaded storage box after storage box of takeaway containers into the restaurant. Either focus on your restaurant customers and make them feel like they're valued, or by all means go the Deliveroo offering but you cannot charge restaurant prices for a casual takeaway experience. Cinder was neither fine dining nor cheap and cheerful. The food itself was tasty but unremarkable, given the ambience of the place and one plate - the chicken thighs, were two of the smallest thigh pieces we'd ever seen, for an insulting £22. We spent £150 on our meal (2 drinks, no dessert) and were out of the restaurant in 50 mins, which hurt, especially as this was meant to be a significant celebration. The ambience of the place felt more like a takeaway grill. Wish we'd gone anywhere else that night; would've gotten more enjoyment (and value) from a takeaway grill. Will not ever be returning, sadly.
