We went for lunch on Sunday. It’s a lovely picturesque room in an historic hotel. The menu featured local produce and was a good range of dishes. Excellent service. There was a slight delay in one pudding but we were kept really well informed.

Arrived alittle early, had a drink in the snug by the open fire. Staff called me when the table was ready and escorted me to the table. Food was very good and reasonably priced. The staff were very helpful and managed to look after me during a busy period.

We had a fantastic dining experience at the Landgate Bistro. The food was exceptional and perfectly crafted and presented. Every mouthful was an exquisite. The service was also first class, we were very well looked after, not rushed and it didn’t feel forced, it was genuinely enjoyable in every way. We will be back very soon!
