Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Thorpe Waterville

Our first Christmas Lunch of the season, and as always the Red Lion chefs worked their magic and provided us with an outstanding Christmas Lunch, which we highly recommend. Ashley and Harry served us well at the table.

We love eating at the White Swan. The food is delicious and there is always something new on the menu to try. We’ e never been disappointed.

Farmhouse was everything I expected and everything everyone told me to expect. The food, the service was to die for & I’ll most definitely be making a return very soon. If you’re wondering if you should take that trip down to farmhouse, DO IT.

Food quality was fantastic. Menu choice was good. Some dishes felt expensive for what they were eg. Bread and olives. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a shame that we were asked to give up our table for the next booking and had no where else to sit and have a drink and continue our evening. I appreciate that you need to use the table but it seems to go against the ethos of tapas dining which is usually to spend a lazy evening of eating, drinking and socialising. This felt like more of a ‘fast food’ culture.

An extremely enjoyable evening's dining in very pleasant surroundings, enhanced right from the start with a complementary glass of very good prosecco. At all times the service - never intrusive - was polite and friendly. We chose only two courses, main and dessert + coffees. Each of these was perfectly prepared and presented - most of all, delicious. The main courses, quite ambitious and imaginative, were very tasty and enjoyable - finished to the very last morsel! Overall, a most delightful experience. Highly recommended and we intend returning soon.
