I'm so sorry to leave a negative review but having spent over £95/pp for Christmas dinner, sadly we just expected so much better. We waited nearly 20 minutes for our 'welcome drink on arrival' but only two of us were actually given a drink for some reason! The young waitress just walked off!! It took another 20 minutes for our starters to arrive...only to be taken away again as they were for a different table 🤷🏼‍♀️ We had to return one of the starters as it was still icy cold in the middle so we think it had been frozen. Again it was ages before it was returned to us, so of course, we had already finished eating ours. The main course was also very slow to arrive. It was ok but the vegetables were literally almost raw and the yorkshire pudding definitely wasn't fresh as it was so dry. Desert was great though. Hallelujah! The venue wasn't christmassy at all...no decorations, no table decorations, just some music in the background and a lot of noise from so many people being jammed in. The other thing I will just mention which I hope the staff take notice of...there was a small table for two right next to the bottom of the stairs...the poor people sitting there were clearly irritated by the constant stream of people coming and going, not to mention the dust etc that must have been landing on their food from the carpet. I'd have asked to be moved personally. The staff seemed to be trying their best, but it was just so muddled and very disorganised - I hope not their usual standard. Such a shame.

Went on Christmas Day afternoon for a three course dinner at £95 per head. Unfortunately the food wasn’t great and not worth the money. The staff clearly did not want to be working Christmas Day. I get that, but it’s not professional to make it so obvious. They didn’t know what the starter canapés were and we were told it was ‘whatever was left’ and the drink expected on arrival wasn’t available with no substitute offered until we asked, even though it was part of what we had paid for upfront. Disappointed sadly. The restaurant itself does have a nice cosy atmosphere though.

Amazing food, staff are so friendly, really would highly recommend this place.

Drove 2 hours to get here from London and was not disappointed. Hands down probably the best duck I've ever had and would gladly have it again. My starter and dessert were equally as good as were the hand cut house chips with parmesan and truffle oil. The house itself (which is a grade 2 listed building) has a very interesting history and the atmosphere inside was very cozy. A delightful evening with fantastic food. Sam the head chef also came out to say hello which was a nice touch and the rest of the team were also very attentive. Many congratulations to Rob and Antoine on their new partnership, which I'm sure will be a success.

Excellent meal last night - everything was absolutely delicious! Loving the new decor and the new menus and of course the lovely staff - led last night by Louise for front of house and Sam, Head Chef, but even though Harry and little Sam were on leave they both ended up popping in too as they can’t stay away!! Shows how much they love their work! Ian had the Confit Lobster with Crumpet, Radish and Frisée to start, followed by the Pan-Roasted Spiced Duck Breast, Potato Rosti, Glazed Chicory, Artichoke Puree, Fig Jam, Artichoke Crisp and the Burnt Honey & Sea Salt Panna Cotta, Vanilla & Apple Puree, with Honeycomb Tuille for dessert. I had the delicious Caramelized Red Onion, Goats Cheese Mousse with Beetroot to start, Feta & Harissa Spanakopita, Butternut Squash, Spinach, Spiced Yoghurt, Rocket with Sun-Dried Tomatoes for main and Chocolate Fondant, Pistachio Ice-Cream with Blackberries for dessert. The Pistacio Ice cream was absolutely delicious and the Fondant a perfect texture and not over sweet. Definitely still up there as one of our absolute favourite restaurants.

Beautiful food, lovely staff, can't fault this little gem. Great for a special occasion.
