Was recommended to try this establishment by member of staff at the Castle Museum. He was not wrong. A friendly welcome and comprehensive menu greeted us. Falafel, hummus and salad for me, quiche, salad and chunky chips for her. This was followed by a huge slice of courgette and avocado cake. Delicious!!! We sneaked some caramel shortbread home for later. Pricing very good. It was only on the way home we realised we had a vegetarian lunch. Just goes to show you don't need to eat meat or fish for a great meal.

I was taken out for dinner her with a rather fussy 18 year old recently so, having looked at the menu beforehand was rather concerned - she ate everything! The dining room was full, rather formal looking as is fitting in an old building and expensive hotel, but people were wearing a range of clothes from casual to very formal - so it wasn't stuffy. The staff were attentive but not overly so. I can see why some people think the menu is old fashioned, one of my companions had lobster bisque which I haven't seen on a menu for years, but we were curious and he said it was delicious - the lobster came on the plate with the sauce poured over it at the table; a bit of drama. My starter, braised fennel and main, sea bass were well prepared and served - the fish was fresh and a generous portion. My daughter enjoyed the sweet potato soup and her gnocchi - the first time she has willingly eaten Stilton. We added a small pot of chips to share. Some of the dishes may seem old fashioned to those that have to keep up with trends and think anything else isn't worth trying, but all I am interested in is the quality of the food. It was good, much of it local and obviously home made. One slight criticism. We ordered the coffee and desserts at the same time and were surprised when the former arrived first - and were drunk before the desserts arrived. That isn't the norm as far as I am aware and I was surprised that a restaurant of this quality made such a basic error - I have no problem with them arriving at the same time.
