I think the meal I had last night was one of the worst meals I have ever had in any restaurant in all my years. The owner was curt, seemingly disinterested, didn't want to talk and a terrible host. Just stayed behind the bar, seemingly very stressed, trying to do five things at once and had no interaction with the guests. And that's after the bill for extremely poor food amounted to £90 for my wife and I. Incredible and sheer extortion for the awful food. I started with 'smooth chicken liver parfait'. It was quite the opposite of smooth being full of big lumps. The pork fillet/tenderloin I then had on a bed of mashed potato was anything but tender. I could hardly cut into it and the mashed potato was 50% water. To cap it all I found an eight inch long black hair in amongst the vegetables, which didn't get any apology from the waitress when I handed it to her. I ended with sticky ginger pudding, which was a slab of goo with nothing with it. No cream, no ice cream. I had to ask for some which arrived 10 minutes later after the pudding had gone cold. Oh, and guess what? Yes, I found another long hair sticking out of the pudding too! My wife had a similar bad experience but I've run out of patience writing about it. My wife went through a process of ordering SIX different main courses before she found one they actually had available. And, how the meal and wine all came to £90 I have no idea but it was an experience I never want to go through ever again. £90 absolutely wasted and the worst pub food would have been twice as good and probably only a third of the cost.

Everything about this restaurant is excellent. Food is exceptional, service is friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There is a very nice ambience about the place. A real gem.
