This is a wonderful place. We really look forward to it when we know we are going.
We are infrequent visitors as we only go here when we travel to Armagh to go to the Marketplace theatre and with covid it's only our third visit in about three years, so they'll not make much of a living on us.
We've never been disappointed and we really enjoyed our latest visit. They get the meaning of hospitality: the welcome is warm, the food is great and all the staff charming.
I opted for a steak & chips but it was a close run thing to a delicious sounding vegetarian risotto but it was my third dine out in 4 days with the other two being non meat, so steak it was.
I asked for medium; I got medium. The meat was really flavoursome too. I asked for English mustard (best in the world) and it was a yes and I flipped the onion rings for tobacco onions and it was no problem. Just to note in passing the number of so called steak houses that don't have English mustard is as staggering as it is unacceptable.
The tasty steak had a bacon jam spread atop. I'd never heard of it. It was salty, sweet so bacon, balsamic vinegar maybe sugar, I ate it all though my personal preference remains mustard. I'd like to try it as a spread on toasted crumpets with a lightly fried egg on top.
The only thing I would change in my meal is the pepper sauce but again it's personal taste as I'd add double cream and a lot more black pepper.
My wife opted for salmon and she declared it delicious.
All in all another enjoyable meal in cosy surroundings. Hopefully we'll be back sooner rather than later. read more
