    We ate early as we were going to the theatre and were the only people in to start with. We were looked after exceptionally well by all staff. Starters were the terrine and the soup. Both were excellent. We had the mussels, which were meaty and plentiful, and the ox cheek. Both faultless. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse with miso caramel, the melting chocolate was a nice bit of theatre. All in all, an excellent meal and dining experience. The 20% discount, as a hotel resident, was also very welcome. We will be back.

    Exceptional quality and service as always. James menu even for someone who is gluten free and diary free was full of mouthwatering dishes and an abundance of seasonal foods. It’s a little slice of heaven and the East Neuks best kept secret. Always a pleasure to dine here and Alethea and her team took excellent care of us and all our fellow dinners.
