"We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, enjoying delicious, healthy, and visually appealing meals served in a friendly yet professional manner. The restaurant is dog-friendly, with a view of the deli section and the city. It is evident that locals enjoy meeting here for coffee, cake, and entertainment. Our server, William, was excellent and made sure that we had a great meal, even providing water and a treat for our Yorkshire Terrier. We felt very welcomed and were not rushed to leave our table. We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves spending two hours at lunch. The restaurant offers great food at a reasonable price and is perfect for those seeking beautifully prepared healthy meals in a relaxed and organic atmosphere. As a bonus, guests receive a 10% discount on items from the deli and store. We will definitely be returning for dinner."

Delicious fresh produce. The rhubarb spritz was especially good and not too sweet. My only criticism, food took a long time

We went here for a family birthday and we were feeling excited at the prospect of having a lovely meal, unfortunately we were all disappointed.

We went to the 'Fish Friday' event on Friday and had a pleasant experience. There were many seafood options to choose from and we really enjoyed our meal. Our main criticism is that the appetizers were too large and delicious, which overshadowed the enjoyment of our main courses. It's a nice problem to have! Overall, we would definitely visit again, but maybe not on a seafood Friday.

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"
