Venture In - Menu

Delicious every mouthful was delicious Fabulous service front of house team were fabulous Gorgeous setting A wonderful evening Fantastic memories made

Back for the first time since the big C and the rebuild and it has lost none of its excellence and gained some finner points of decore. Ever had a meal so could you were lost for words? You will here, absolutely stunning, with great service in a gorgeous piece of history. Just faultless.

We had a pleasant lunch. The food is good though, to my mind, a little old-fashioned with lots of different things on the plate. The squab pigeon 'special 'started was delicious. Service is polite, but a little inconsistent; we had to ask 3 times for the wine we 'd ordered for the mains. Otherwise, a good time had by all.

Called in and was extremely lucky to have the last table. (advisable to book) This restaurant is beautifully laid out and the Staff were extremely professional, courteous and helpful. The food was second to none and would say the poached salmon starter probably the best I've ever had. A real gem. A truly scrumptious experience.

This was our second visit but certainly won’t be our last. Not cheap but worth every penny. They just get everything right and we loved the new decor. Lovely staff, imaginative and extensive menu cooked to perfection. And an intimate cosy atmosphere. I couldn’t fault anything even the homemade bread was amazing! Already trying to justify a reason to go back soon… so lucky to have this place within a 5 minute drive.

This is the first time I have eaten here after the refurbishment. It was nice to see that it is still the quaint, beamed restaurant I love. Everything was spot on, as always. The food is superb. My monkfish was perfect. The staff are pleasant and efficient. The only small comment is the lack of table cloths now. I thought the place mats looked a bit cheap. A table cloth somehow gives it a bit more class. A minor criticism, and one that will certainly not stop me from going back.

Excellent meal all 3 courses covering 6 different dishes were highly enjoyable and well prepared. Normally in reviews I itemise the dishes one by one but as the menu is about to change little point in doing so. However assuming the new menu is equally as good then it is a must for an evening out. Compact restaurant with good atmosphere , must book, service good ,efficient and cheerful , no rush to complete your meal . Parking outside if lucky or car park up the lane by the side of the restaurant. Will definitely return.

We booked the Venture for my husband’s birthday. We had not been there since it had been refurbished. They have done the refurbishment very well. The decor suits the place. The menu, as ever, was fabulous. We were spoilt for choice. A beautiful fish hors douevres, was followed by a very generous helping of turbot and asparagus with Parma ham In a delicious creamy sauce. A light pudding of meringue followed. Then coffee with home made petit fours. Considerate and knowledgeable staff added to the experience. This is a real jewel in the crown of a restaurant. Everything was faultless. Chef Toby’s cooking is superb and the range of dishes is impressive. Definitely a restaurant that can be confid...

This is a high quality restaurant with attentive staff. It is suitable for a special celebration of quiet dinner. There is a fixed price menu for around £60 with plenty, or even too much, choice. Canapes came first followed by amazing bread rolls with 2 types of butter delicious. The lobster starter, with supplement, was sublime but I found the scallops rather ordinary and lacking taste. Fillet steak was tender and served with interesting vegetables although I felt the need to include mouthwatering braised steak on the plate a bit of overkill detracting from the main course. The strawberry dessert was served in a large quantity with the crumble base being a little too thick for comfort. Howe...
