Was told it was essential to pre-book, called in and was advised they only had 1 space available and it had to be right at the time of the phone call, arrived and the place was empty and this did not change by the time we left. The menu was over priced , both food and drinks. Additionally, we ordered a thai red curry , but upon its arrival I had to ask if the correct curry arrived as upon appearance it looked nothing like a thai curry. There was a chick pea curry and a dahl on the menu and upon further tasting it could have been either of these options, but it certainly wasn 't remniscant of a thai curry in any way. It was eaten as we were told we definitely received the correct item however...
During our long weekend stay at one of the lodges, we decided to visit this restaurant. The first time we went just for drinks and found the bar area to be lovely with comfortable seating and dog-friendly. On our second visit, we had made a reservation for food. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the food this time, which was a change from when my mother had enjoyed a meal there the previous year. The roast dinner was average and came with new potatoes instead of roasted potatoes. Although the gravy was delicious, the lasagne I ordered had burnt cheese on top, flavorless mince, and was dry.

Sunday lunch didn't look like much when it was served but it's presentation was deceptive, the roast beef was plentiful, tender and tasty and the jus (gravy) was superb. There were enough potatoes and vegetables to satisfy the average appetite but additional servings can be ordered if required. My wife had the roast chicken and was also suitably impressed. Starter was chicken wings in a barbeque sauce which turned out to be enough for two people. Choice of deserts was limited and as is all too common in British restaurants were overpriced, it would have been nice to have seen a cheeseboard on the desert menu but all in all a very pleasant Sunday afternoon lunch.
The service was extremely poor and the food was not great. I don't plan on using this restaurant again. We waited nearly an hour for our food, with other people being served before us even though we arrived before them. Additionally, my husband's food wasn't cooked properly and had to be sent back, causing him to eat alone. This experience took place in December 2024.
The service at the restaurant was excellent and the food was delicious. I highly recommend visiting and dining here. We didn't order dessert because the kids were tired, but if the main dishes are any indication, the desserts must be good too.
