"This is a clear cut establishment that has a no nonsense approach. A drinking den cushioned with as much local food as one wants. The staff are warming and helpful as they guide you through pre food drinks and leave you to read the vast choice on the menu. We took Sunday lunch in the late afternoon. Very relaxed and informal service but not slow . We started with the Selection of Homemade Charcuterie, what a generous board of the chefs skill and his interpretation of local products, a great punchy celeriac on a remoulade , crusty Sourdough slices with venison salami , ham hock terrine, a game version , some liver parfait and smooth creamy pork rillettes, all scattered with a few pickled gherkins. Tremendous kitchen skills all thoroughly enjoyed. Main plates were just as outstanding, roast loin of local pork, moist, crackling , apple on the side , and a little stuffing. Beef well rested , just as good and a 5 star horseradish, been many’s a year since I seen it as good as this one) . A whole turbot cooked to perfection, All dishes eager to be crowned the best of the show . The vegetable selection was also impressive, tasty fresh and plentiful. The crusty Sticky toffee pudding is also showcasing this houses talents . Fine selection of wines , even some eau de vie variants , educational for some , maybe too potent for others. This Place would shame country house , Pretentious establishments. Simply the best complete package we’ve encountered in years . Thank you to all for the enjoyment ."
