We visited The House by Hilly Gant and ordered a burger and a Sunday dinner roast, and overall the experience was very enjoyable. The food was truly excellent. The roast in particular stood out: the meat was juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked, without those chewy or rubbery parts you sometimes encounter. The roast potatoes were well seasoned, full of flavour, and the vegetables were cooked al dente, exactly as they should be. Because my wife does not enjoy frozen, bagged fries, we kindly asked the waitress if there was any alternative available (hand-cut chips, roast potatoes, or something similar). She was extremely helpful and checked with the kitchen, and everything was arranged beautifully. We were fully prepared to pay extra, understanding that fresh, hand-cut potatoes cost more than frozen ones, but we were pleasantly surprised that no extra charge was added. This gesture spoke volumes about their approach to service and care for the customer. The gravy was described as homemade, and while it had a very good depth of flavour, it was slightly on the salty side for our personal taste—purely a matter of preference. The atmosphere was pleasant, though we did feel a bit cold inside. With the outside temperature around -1°C, some heating would have made the experience more comfortable. We noticed another guest at a nearby table keeping their coat and hood on, so it wasn’t just us—but this is a minor point. Parking is available at Tesco nearby (£6.00), which may be worth noting. There are also a few free spaces on the street, but they fill up quickly. One thing we genuinely appreciated is that there is no forced service charge, which has become increasingly common elsewhere. You are free to decide based on your experience. After such a positive visit, we were more than happy to leave a service charge of our own choosing, as a thank you for the overall experience. The restaurant is well organised, portions are generous, and the quality of the food is clearly a priority. Overall, it was a very good experience, and we would happily return.
