The Restaurant
Our main restaurant is modern with a lantern light ceiling which allows in plenty of natural light to flood in. A great piece of real architectural design. The restaurant boast some wonderful bespoke ironwork along with a vintage industrial feel . This restaurant offers a modern ambiance an ideal place to catch up with family and friends and enjoy our mouthwatering local dishes.

The Inn
The Inn is full of old world charm with little hidden nucks for dining. This restaurant is full of character and is used at lunch times primarily, but in the evenings, it offers a cosy ambiance lit by candle light ideal for a more casual approach to dining.

The Inn also offers an afternoon tea which is simply divine. Served between 2pm-5pm by prior bookings only.

The Bar and Snug is a relaxed and super cosy space sticking with the old charm of the Inn which this part of the building offers. It has an impressive wood burning stove and is dog friendly.

The biggest party of the year! Get your glad rags on because this is going to be a good one. Start the evening with a complimentary arrival drink enjoyed in our bar and lounge area. It’s then time to take your seats across our Skylight and Inn restaurants to be looked after by our superb front of house team. They will serve a fabulous four course dinner expertly prepared by head chef Gareth and his team. Following dinner you will be taken upstairs to our Hayloft and Westmorland suites for Tea & Coffee. This is when our live 3 piece band, Duke Box, will start to entertain with classics such as Sweet Caroline and I’m a believer. Duke Box will count us down to the new year and you can keep dancing through to 1am.

This is the first time I have been unsatisfied with this place. We waited over 30 minutes for our food and there was no apology once the food arrived. This has never been the case before-we have come as the same group for the part 3 years at the same time of year.

Here with my 97 year old mother and my wife who has her birthday today. Busy on arrival as there was a function in a different area which was just arriving at the same time. We were spotted quickly and efficiently looked after, Staff were lovely. Food was great. Mum couldn't manage all here Steak Pie as the porton was just a bit big for a 97 year old!!! A good value menu too. We were really happy and thank you.

Lovely setting, nicely done for Christmas. Lots of choice on the main menu, several specials and desserts to choose from. The staff are friendly and the right amount of attentiveness. Usual price for mains, desserts more pricey but worth it as they're delicious.
