Lord Cardigan Restaurant

Lord Cardigan - I thought was a pub, but it is a beautiful restaurant oozing with ambience. Staff were very attentive and ready to explain anything. Wine list was good, by glass and bottle.

Sunday night degustation with wine matching. Place was full. Our hosts are regulars so the welcome was warm and genuine. Decor is inviting, table setting perfect. It oozes quality. Chilled water. Menus. Now to the procession. Over the next 3 hours a perfectly timed placement of brilliant food and wine. I tried to think of any part of the meal that wasn't to my taste, but no luck. It was superb.The service spot on and non intrusive.All this and true value for moneyDo yourself a favour.

We enjoyed lunch here last Sunday. Staff were professional, making us feel welcome and regularly filling our water glasses unobtrusively. The table we had reserved was exactly as described to me on the phone, thanks. Our waiter clearly explained the specials dishes, which we appreciated. The food was well presented and tasty. Fish was paricularly nice. There was a good range of wines available the one we selected suited our meal .Would recommend this restaurant

Met family here for brunch and staff were quick to take our order but was surprised how long it took for food to arrive. Have to say the food was very good and I can thoroughly recommend the herb and onion scrambled gags on sourdough. Coffee was good.

This place is great for a long lunch on a weekend, it's also open for breakfast and dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is to die for. Well worth the visit!
