This is a lovely, welcoming, homely place with bookshelves of recipe books and hotel guides if you want a browse and amazing home made bread to get your appetites flowing. We went for a very early supper (you need to book if you don't want to eat at 5:30!) and had the 3 courses for £25 special. The food was good, but not quite the incredible thing we had been led to expect. I had curried spinach and feta (a take on saag paneer) spring rolls with chilli jam. They were delicious, though I did wonder whether they wouldn't have been just as good in samosa format. For a main course I had battered hake with beef dripping chips and tartare sauce. Very good, but ultimately just fish and chips. For pudding I had a chocolate cheesecake pot which was a glass with an upside down cheesecake in it. The presentation was gimmicky and rather annoying because you landed up eating most of the biscuit base first rather than being able to pair it with the cheesecakey bit, and because the teaspoon was too short to really get to the bottom. The mixture was too sweet and insufficiently chocolatey. Lovely, but not better than Pizza Express would have come up with and a bit disappointing in such a taste-focussed environment. My husband had excellent pork, apricot and pistachio terrine as a first course, good (but not better than my own home made) cottage pie with horseraddish mash, and the cheesecake. For £50 without wine we felt we'd had a nice meal, but not an exceptional one. read more
