This was my second visit to Tottington Manor as a follow-up to a function I attended late last year, and my first visit to Terra. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the very charming Louis, Tottington'a General Manager, who was charming and is clearly a real asset to Tottington. We were seated quickly and left to peruse the menu and our orders were taken soon thereafter although we were not rushed. My mother and I both chose to skip the starters and go straight for a main course. Mum had lamb while I had the chicken dish and both were exceptional - beautifully presented and cooked and seasoned to perfection. We then opted for the mini bite size desserts which were a taste sensation, if a tad small. All in all this was a really pleasing visit where we enjoyed superb food and excellent yet very discreet service which I very much appreciated. Indeed, I am already planning my next visit with a very discerning friend who I am hoping will be similarly impressed. My sincere thanks to Louis and the wider team, and a very big pat on the back to all.

A lovely meal. Unusually, I was on my own as my wife was elsewhere with friends. I chose the Alpine Petit Plats menu which provided a selection of three delicious Alpine dishes. The service was great and the ambiance lovely, as usual. I was expecting a fairly isolated meal on a Monday lunchtime in January, but the place was really quite buzzy with a good atmosphere. Thank you Cote, yet again, for a great dining experience!

I have visited the Sportsman on a few occasions and each time the service and the food are excellent. We have booked the pods a few times and if there is a group of you they are an excellent choice as it’s similar to having your own private dining room. I definitely recommend the Sportsman.

Great location in the centre of town. Food was standard Ivy fare, decent sized portions, served with flare and delivered on the flavour front. The staff were great, checking in but not overly intrusive and we didn't feel any pressure to hurry up even though we ended up staying 4 hours!

We are pleased to be recognised as a family run pub with attentive friendly staff, something that repeatedly comes up on our reviews. Our aim is to provide good quality freshly produced food and at reasonable prices.

We are delighted our customers love the warm welcoming ambience of the pub and enjoy the traditional and slightly quirky decor.

The Farmer’s Sunday lunch always offers a choice of three meats, fresh vegetables and goose fat roast potatoes. We also offer a homemade vegetarian option and can cater for gluten free and other requirements, just ask us.

Three of us requiring a gluten free lunch we’re delighted to find a good choice on a well marked menu. The sticky toffee sweets were particularly enjoyed. Great to have a good varied choice of main courses unlike other pubs in the area. The service was friendly and meals good value. We will book again and recommend to our Airbnb guests
