As a vegetarian, whenever anybody suggests a meal in a steak joint a rush of panic floods over me…read more What will I eat? What if I'm left with a salad!? (I may be a veggie but it doesn't mean I love lettuce leaves!) So when my friends planned Sunday lunch in The Cowshed I sighed a heavy sigh. But I had nothing to fear - with two vegetarian options on the lunch time menu, at least I had something to choose from (Albeit a standard veggie burger or a goats cheese tart - two 'classics') and since this was a restaurant for meat eaters I could hardly complain! My burger was delicious, served with tasty chunky chips and washed down with hearty cider. My friend's roast dinners looked fabulous too. The service was very welcoming and the atmosphere was just what you want on a Sunday - full of fun and laughter.

While The Cowshed's poster mammal isn't smiling it still tickles me so I agreed to dinner here with my steak loving other half. The focus here is all about good old-fashioned British dishes, particularly steak and it's many guises. My partner ordered a steak cooked on a hot stone tablet right in front of him - similar to the way you can get hot plates in Indian restaurants, except this actually allowed him to partially cook the steak himself. As an occasional vegetarian there wasn't a great amount of choice for me to pick a main course but the starters and desserts were divine! It is quite pricey but I would come back for the chocolate mouse alone and my partner can whole-heartedly vote for the sirloin steak!

Honestly, my visit here was very disappointing, especially considering it was my birthday dinner!…read moreDon't get me wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the atmosphere or the customer service - both of which were lovely. The main bone I have to pick with Greenhouse Inn was the food that was borderline inedible. First some background information about my relationship with mashed potatoes.... I LOVE THEM. I love high quality mashed potatoes. I love what would be considered gross powdered instant mashed potatoes, frozen meals, it doesn't really matter to me. Mashed potatoes are probably my favourite food and I'm not picky when it comes to them at all. That should provide you with some context then as to why I'm so frustrated with Greenhouse Inn. They got it so completely wrong. Food: I ordered Sausages & Mash for nearly £8. 2 sausages with mash and onion gravy. The sausages were outrageously overcooked - dry and the outside really tough to chew through. The mashed potatoes were very crumbly, as if they didn't add a single drop of liquid while mashing to bring the whole thing together. The texture was literally if you had a potato and you mashed it without adding any butter or milk. Did they just forget the most fundamental ingredients which separates mashed potatoes with boiled potatoes you just break apart or something? It certainly tasted like it did. The gravy was really bad as well. It tasted like one of those bland gravies that you get from a packet at the supermarket adding absolutely nothing in it. There was no taste whatsoever. My go-to favourite meal of Bangers & Mash at any restaurant was a complete dud at this place. The only saving grace of the meal was the ice cream I ordered for dessert - but that was a branded ice cream made elsewhere so they get 0 credit for that one. --- How incredibly disappointing. For £8, I'm expecting a bit more than overcooked sausage, bland gravy, and crumbled potatoes. Like I said, don't get me wrong the waitress was lovely and so was the decor of the place. However, the food was pretty much inedible. Please, never again.

SALMON, OTTERS & DUCKS The Daily Telegraph wrote: Henry Williamson,…read moreborn in 1895, served in the trenches during the First World War. This extremely sensitive, highly strung and romantic soul never recovered from the horror and the disillusionment he experienced in Flanders. From 1921 onwards he buried himself in the little North Devon village of Georgeham, seeking an escape from inner torment by exploring and writing about the wild and unfrequented landscapes of Exmoor. Growing up in the London suburbs, I was eternally gratefully for his highly-acclaimed works 'Salar the Salmon' and 'Tarka the Otter' which would instantly transport me to my beloved North Devon, where I spent so many happy times visiting family during the summer school holidays; a real home from home. My parents went back to their original home there upon retirement and I still visit my mother there when possible. Tonight we must go the Rock at Georgeham, she announced during a recent visit, so go we did. I had a vague memory of having gone there many years ago, but vague it remained. It is essentially an old timbered pub, with a modern conservatory. Food is served in both areas and we decided to sup some Rioja in the traditional area. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/067bf03a.jpg The menu is very convincing and even more so the specials menu, which is displayed on a board but also available in print. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype%20pix/4ac9c2a0.jpg I thought that that the 'Georgeham cured ham' sounded pleasingly alliterative, poetic or whatever, and it certainly did not disappoint. The pan roasted duck breast was sensational, although I did not take so well to the 'gooseberry tarte tatin' which was 'tarte by name and tart by nature'. I think duck really deserves something a bit sweeter, but if anything it was my fault because I chose it. La contessa and la dowager contessa were delighted with their choices. Reasonable prices, excellent food, great ambiance and also friendly staff who definitely seemed just that bit more professional than average. Do take a look at the excellent website and if you are in that neck of the woods, you will not regret visiting.

The interior itself is cozy with a combination of stones and wood accents everywhere. I spied a beautiful patio where the scenery has no obstructions. We, however decided to stay indoors and got a nice corner round table by the window next to the fireplace. Adding to the homey feel, the gentleman who took care of us was jovial and friendly throughout our wonderful lunch here. I started with the STILTON and PEPPER MUSHROOMS on a brioche bread. I was swayed to try this granted that this is an English cheese produced only in the UK, similar to blue cheese in strong smell and taste. What a superb dish! The FISH and CHIPS was also the best I had on this trip. Perfectly crisp batter on the outside and a flaky moist white fish inside, every criteria they nailed. Even the chips were just the right thickness with not a single one of them soggy. A very fitting last meal in Wales that was pleasant and memorable.
