Staff were lovely and helpful and the ambience was great, but the food was disappointing. The warmed broccoli starter we had was pretty bland with cold soggy broccoli, and then the roast beef I had was just not good and not worth its price. The gravy was obviously just a bisto gravy and the veg had next to no flavour and the roasties tasted like they’d been frozen before service. We’ve been a couple times before and always had lovely food so I was surprised the the roast just didn’t meet the usual standards.

My husband ordered the chowder, which he has enjoyed multiple times before, but this time it had more potatoes and less fish and chorizo. Our waitress mentioned that several customers had noticed this change and attributed it to a new chef. I had a cheese and smoked onion toastie, but could taste the onions more than the cheese. Despite this, we enjoyed the wine. Overall, while we have had good experiences at The Cloth Ear in the past with friends, we may try a different...
Food on the night was first class, unfortunately the service wasn’t, one Man that was looking after us was very good unfortunately the rest of staff wernt, we waited 15mins to be offered a drink and for second drink had to go to bar to order it there as staff never came, the girl that brought our starter didn’t bring any plates cutlery or napkins which was disappointing eating it with our fingers, overall service was very poor.
This is my second visit to The Cloth Ear, on each occasion it has been a very enjoyable experience, from the person on the door, to the guy who showed us to our table and then to the table servers. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Book a table now
The service was very poor and we waited over a. hour for our main meal. The toilets were not clean that said when the food arrived finally!! it was delicious and made the other failings acceptable
The servers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was charming. We had a fantastic evening!
A wonderful little restaurant! Really enjoyed the cocktails! The vegetable pie was fantastic. A dish I was hesitant to order but then so glad I did!
