"This restaurant was recommended by a friend so we chose to have dinner there for my birthday treat. At 7pm it was already buzzing the welcome was warm. Decor lighting created a cosy atmosphere tables were nicely spaced. Our food arrived piping hot, was delicious the helpings generous. The menu stated that ingredients where possible were locally sourced. We both chose the pork belly for our mains (our waitress told us they had replaced it on the menu with pork chop but by popular demand had changed it back again) we were not disappointed. The meat was soft melted in the mouth, the fat perfectly rendered, served with a creamy herby mash, al dente tenderstem broccoli lashings of tasty gravy. For dessert we both had the cherry bakewell bread butter pudding, served with cherry ice cream, also delicious, nicely presented with crumbs tiny purple flowers violets) My only disappointment was that on arrival we were told our allocated table was upstairs as I booked on line (on The Fork) had not been to this restaurant before I did not know there was an upstairs otherwise I would have requested a downstairs table and as the restaurant was full we could not change. The steep stairs were a bit of a struggle but one of the staff was a great help the stairs were managed with some assistance laughter and our dinner definitely was worth the effort."
