    We have been here many times and always enjoy the whole experience. Today’s initial greeting on arrival was very friendly with my request for a glass of Prosecco being exceeded by the barmans suggestion of cremant instead. It was so delicious I had a second glass! The Christmas menu was lovely, a great choice, all beautifully cooked, well presented with super efficient service. My only criticism, as such, was the white forest meringue roulade which unfortunately had on overbearing taste of the berries, so much so that I couldn’t taste the white chocolate sauce or pistachio crumb dressing. For a dessert lover like me this was a bit of a disappointment but otherwise it was a great meal.

    My husband and I had lunch here, AMAZING! The food was outstanding, along with the service. It's such a quaint little bar and restaurant with a fabulous garden out the back. It's probably the best food we've ever had, seriously! Been here a few times now, it's the only place my husband will go for food. Loved it, thank you 😊

    This was our first time visiting the Allaton Inn and I’m positive it’s not going to be our last. Service was amazing, the food was beautiful and all the staff were fabulous from start to finish if I could rate it a million stars I would! Definitely recommend
