We chose to dine in an intimate outdoor setting and it was perfect. It was like eating in a snow globe. My daughter will be getting married this year and has chosen Puddicombe house as her wedding venue, we can’t wait to make more memories at this special place.

Went for Valentine’s Day and ordered 6 dishes, which ended up being only slightly more than the two of us could polish. Drinks were amazing, food was incredible, and the vibe of the whole place felt warm and exciting.

Everyone was awesome to the front gate man - to the hostess- to the waitress- to the manager! The food is impeccable and I am very picky when it comes to “chef” quality. The view and atmosphere is spectacular and unique. Calming while looking at the river. It is clean and attentive to anything you need. I even asked for pepper and didn’t see it on the table but they offered to have the chef freshly grind some ( I used the table one haha) but honestly well done guys and will be back of course! A true gem in our community - hats off
