"We have eaten here on a few occasions recently and found the food to be good. We came for Sunday lunch today and were very disappointed with the general experience. We sat down at 1.30 to be told there was no roast beef (surely you would hold some back for your bookings? . We ordered a pork and a chicken. We had starters first which were ok, the garlic mushrooms were lukewarm. The mains turned up with very very small portions of meat and 3 dried up roast potatoes each that had been hanging around for a while, the vegetables were also lukewarm. I asked the waitress for some more pork only to be told they had run out (one of my slices of pork had even been cut in half was this so that some other poor diner could have his portion? . So I spoke to the landlord Jerry, who found some more pork (where had it been hiding! . To be honest we got the impression that they had run out of food and our meals were cobbled together with the last scraps. The whole experience was a let down; when I paid the bill and voiced my concerns to the barman he was not the slightest bit interested. What a shame; we are locals and eat out often. We won't be back."

"I feel as though the positive reviews on service must be false… such a shame to have to avoid the only pub in the village for fear of being verbally accosted from the moment you walk in. The landlady is just incomprehensibly rude, dismissive and just plain unpleasant… to everyone?! It’s like an airport, when it’s your only choice, you sometimes have to go there. Although I do AVOID this place at all costs. You are fairly safe if you just get a drink and find yourself a corner, but even then… and god forbid you ask a simple question, want to order food, want to book a table, turn up for your reservation (on time! , want some sugar for your coffee… READ THE REVIEWS, it’s all true… if you want an insane experience (a real life Karen’s Diner…? then feel free to try it out. If you want a nice evening out, afternoon drink… avoid!"

"What an absolutely wonderful evening. We will definitely be returning. The dining room is relaxed and elegant. The food was exceptional. Seriously delicious and generous. The service was thoughtful and light hearted. It all just felt like a good balance. They brought us some Westcombe cheddar fries while we were waiting to order they were unbelievable! Just wow! My grilled octopus was smoky, sweet, succulent and indulgent. Perhaps it was hungry, but this was probably one of the best things i've ever tasted! The pork with nduja and sweetcorn was brilliantly satisfying and tasty. Then the rum baba desert with peach and yoghurt sorbet WOWOW. So damn good."

"The restaurant offers a great variety of food, and the quality is excellent. It's quite spacious, which is nice. The only minor downside was that it was relatively quiet in the evening I visited, and I've seen similar comments in other reviews. On the plus side, this means you won't have to wait long for your meal. Hopefully, as more people discover it, it'll become busier. I definitely plan to return. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner."

"We decided to revisit the bakehouse after having dined there some time ago, and we frequent the neighboring Brewers Arms frequently. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and we were promptly seated at our table. The set menu for Valentine's Day was a good selection in our opinion. I enjoyed a generously portioned and well-presented starter that was very tasty. I chose the 5 spiced duck served on a potato cake, while my wife opted for the rack of lamb, both of which came with a good variety of vegetables. The portions were generous and delicious. We were served additional drinks before dessert. I chose the cheese board (which was actually served on a board!) while my wife had a strawberry-based dessert that she found delightful. The cheese board was ample and delicious. I would like to express my thanks and congratulations to Nikki and her staff for their attention to detail and overall good value for money. It was a delightful evening in a wonderful setting."
