Extremely disappointing! Having visited and very much enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the Owls…read moreon many, many previous occasion, sadly Saturday nights experience was very, very uncomfortable due to the restaurant being extremely cold and draughty. These cool conditions prompted our party and other customers to dine in the upstairs seating area in our outdoor coats in order to keep warm. We did request a warmer place to dine and after eating our starters, were subsequently move to the downstairs conservatory which was marginally warmer. Clearly, the heating arrangements were totally inadequate. Regrettably! The food was also not at the Owls usual standard, ie the sprouts were stale and unpleasant and the carrots appeared to have been kept and reheated. Sadly, our family and freinds will not be returning to dine at the Owls in future unless the comfort conditions and food quality greatly improve from our latest experience.
