I’m not one for terrible reviews but I didn’t enjoy my experience at Jinneys. We stopped by for some coffee, cake and a look at the ducks. On walking to the pond there was a chain across the walkway and a lady (who worked there) said we couldn’t have our coffee round the back by the pond as it was for “lunch guests only” rather rudely. It was only 11:45am and there was others enjoying a coffee by the pond. Never mind, we went round to the cramped front area and luckily got a seat. On purchasing our coffee we decided against the cake as the lady had been impolite in her manner and we didn’t fancy spending too long at the cafe. The queue was long and people were not very socially distant. The...
My Mum and I visited the Jinney Ring Restaurant last Friday with my new born baby. This was one of my first journeys out with my new born due to COVID so was feeling rather nervous and anxious.I couldn’t have felt more safe though.The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Due to us having the pram the waitress kindly sat us at a table in its own little area, allowing me to put my baby in his pram in the corner away from everyone. The restaurant had also put up perspex on the timber dividers allowing separation in line with the COVID restrictions but still allowing you to see the beautiful lakes while eating and not feel claustrophobic.I would just like to thank the restaurant staff for...
I have visited this restaurant a couple of times, both on a midweek day and for Sunday lunch. It is located in a beautiful setting with a duck pond and fields outside, next to the craft centre shops. The restaurant itself looks like an old barn, which adds to its charm. They offer a great selection of homemade meals such as pies, quiche, roast dinners, and cakes. The portions are generous and the food is always presented nicely. However, the service can be a bit slow at times and the meals may end up being lukewarm. But they are quick to address any issues. The prices are not cheap, with a two-course meal costing around £15 during the week, but the setting is lovely.
We ordered the roast dinner, which was delicious. What was even more important at the moment was that the restaurant strictly followed COVID guidelines, which gave us peace of mind. The surroundings were beautiful and picturesque. We also enjoyed visiting the glass blowing workshop and purchased some gifts there. I always end up buying plants here, and the gentleman at the register gives great gardening tips. The Belinda Terry earrings and bracelet I bought here are stunning and one-of-a-kind. This place is truly special!

I returned to this restaurant for the first time since last year. As someone who previously shielded, I felt safe with their procedures. They now offer waitress service instead of queuing at the counter. The only issue was that there weren't enough waiters and waitresses taking orders. Ours was lovely but seemed rushed. The minted lamb pie was very tasty, as was the bread and butter pudding. It was a bit cold inside due to the open door, but the restaurant was clean and tidy.
At almost £3 per coffee, you’d expect the real deal but to our disappointment we had a ‘machine’ coffee produced by the staff pressing a button!! Had I noticed before, I’d have cancelled our order. This is simply unacceptable especially at the price. Adding insult to injury, the coffee cups are cheap nasty too. Please put some finesse back into the Jinney Ring. It’s tired and uninviting....
After trying a lot of places since lock down has ended Jinney Ring’s restaurant has managed to provide a good choice of great quality food In their well organised socially distanced environment, very reassuring. The chicken and ham pie, peas and chips were piping hot and the prawn and salmon salad had a generous amount of both. Thank you and we will be there again soon!
A great lunch in these ‘Covid’ times. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Carolyn was especially helpful as My sister and I had taken our 91 year old mum there for a Birthday lunch and were able to sit inside but still social distancing. The food was well presented and tasty. It was my third visit since lockdown was eased and each time I’ve been impressed.
