   Top quality restaurant food with beautiful rural views at the rear of the property. Outdoor dining is lovely on a nice day. Friendly staff, attentive but not imposing.

   Average, and such a shame! We had a very lack luster welcome and waited a while for menus and to order. The menu choices were not great, I had fish which arrived just with potatoes and was overpowered by the curry powder flavour. We were in the restaurant which comprised of small cramped tables where you could hear everyone's conversations. The waitress did not really engage much and seemed rather miserable, we asked for desert menus and waited well over 10 minutes. All in all a very disappointing experience, would not rush back.

   What a wonderful little find! So beautiful we ended up staying for the night 🫶 Marone was absolutely fantastic, and the food was simply delicious. Excellent menu, fabulous drinks and the wine list was superb. Cosy, cute - delightful. Unexpected stop after Alton Towers, but at only 10 minutes away would highly recommend for dinner (or indeed an overnight stay!) Thank you 🙏

    This was our second dinner during our stay at the Duncombe Arms and it was equally delicious as the first. We both really enjoyed the grilled monkfish tail with tamarind glaze and curry sauce and aloo gobi.
