"Food was nice once they got my order right, unfortunately we were seated right next to the kitchen doors even though there was ample seats further away but on the whole we will return but not on the same seats. Parking: A very small onsite carpark maybe 6 or 7 spaces, on street parking was already full I had to park right on a wide path which I do not like to do as it impedes pedestrians, maybe all the parking is taken up by staff they should think of there customers parking more. Wheelchair accessibility: There was 1 disabled parking space in the small car park so only 1 disabled car at a time as other parking would not be suitable for a disabled or even people with general mobility issues."

I visited Shadforth today after hearing great things about it, so it was definitely on my list to try. They offered a special three-course menu for £17, which featured pan-roasted scallops, black pudding with apple puree, and teriyaki pork belly.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The scallops and fish cakes were exquisite, and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The homemade chips and delicious sauces complemented the meal beautifully. To top it off, we enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding and raspberry cheesecake, which truly pushed us over the edge! I highly recommend this place.

A good overall experience. We had the £10 three course menu which was very good value. Lager £4.50 a pint. Staff very polite and hard working. The decor is interesting- a sort of shabby chic with varied seating and materials including scaffolding planks. It had comprehensive outside area with chalets and an ice cream van! Would definitely go again and maybe try something from the a la carte menu

First time we've been, we moved to the area in 2020 but I'm clinically vulnerable due to blood cancer so I've had to be really careful with COVID. Anyway we booked here because the have the outdoor benches inside little sheds. There was a heater under the table and a light above. The food was beautiful and the staff were very friendly and atentive. We would definitely recommend this place and will visit again.

We stumbled upon this place by chance and we were not disappointed at all! We initially stopped by for a drink and ended up returning the next day for a meal. Wow, it was fantastic! The bar and restaurant have a beautiful layout, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. I definitely plan to return and highly recommend this place. By the way, I had the seafood platter, and it was wonderful!

"started really well and went to the counter and ordered a cream with bananas and nutella and especially gave no earthberries I also asked after a san pelegríno still water as this was on the menu. I was the first person to order and the last to eat at the end. I brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water I just had £2 for what I would like to have seen? we will, when asked for san pelligrino to say water that they do not in. Finally my crepe and I take a bite and understand that it is earthly on the whole species and wise by which I am allergic. one of my family members takes it back and says that I have asked for bananas, there is no earthly reason why I cannot eat it and did not want it on my crepe. then 5 minutes later another crêpe comes out, who was my bite crêpe, that someone had put the earthy and banan in the bananas. disgusting ... not sure whether this was a mistake or just stingy either as it did not. it is then returned because there is no way I eat, and it is explained again, there is a reason that I can not eat strawberries, to which then one of the owners passes to serve the right crepe and apology. I really hope that today a lection has been learned because cross-contamination is not a sweat. please be careful when they eat there. I didn't get any refunds offered, but then they were ready to serve me a bite crawl, so it didn't surprise me so much."
