Birthday meal Set menu with dishes we probably would not have chosen normally but have to say that they were very well presented and tasted lovely. Had great help with choosing the accompanying wines and loved the little extras. We have been a few times now and have never been disappointed.

Every time we visit there is an unforgettable dish or dishes. Every course was outstanding but the one we will never forget was the baked cheesecake with tarragon sorbet. Absolutely delicious!

Yet another lovely meal in the West House. I love that the menu is seasonal, so on this occasion we had mallard and venison, both of which were delicious. The service is exceptional, managing to be both efficient and relaxed. I do understand why the prices have gone up again, but it makes it more of an occasional meal rather than a regular one.
