Never had a bad experience here. On my fourth time visiting we opted for the £35 3 course meal. I have a gluten allergy (coeliac) and the waitress confidently told me which of the items I could have. Both my partner and I ordered chicken liver pate for start, which was delicious. I could have eaten it twice! Mine was served with gluten free toast and when served the waitress clearly indicated it was gluten free fab! For mains I’d opted for the pork belly, unfortunately it was sold out so they asked if I was happy for it to be swapped for a pork chop, which I was. It was delicious. Cleaned my plate. Very happy. My partner had a cod dish on a bed of risotto and also cleaned the plate. For dese...
We had Sunday lunch and like the curate 's egg it was good in parts . I had an excellent starter pork belly with black pudding bonbon, and my husband 's chilled gazpacho was fine. The main courses, however, weren 't quite as good. Husband had some lovely tasty and tender beef but my wild mushroom roulade was quite disappointing. The filling was nice enough but it was encased in rather uninspiring pastry like a Greggs pie. To me, roulade is made with beaten egg, rather than pastry and is light and fluffy. There were plenty of carrots and parsnips but cooked rather unimaginatively apart from the shredded cabbage which was good as was the cauliflower cheese which cost extra and was served as a...
Absolutely stunning interior, nice atmosphere, could be excellent, but... We waited in a bar to get seated at our table for ages, but that's all OK, as its very busy. After we got seated our orders were taken soon enough. We were really hungry so I have ordered some bread and nibbles to keep us going before the starter. It took over 30 minutes for the bread to arrive...this is not really acceptable, because the whole point of ordering bread and nibbles is that we get it quickly. Not a great start. The starters came about an hour after ordering food. The bread was lovely, my scallops for starter were good, but my husband's pork belly tough and dry. I have ordered monk fish for the main with p...
We came for our daughter’s birthday and stated this on booking form as it asks if celebrating any special occasions we were told by reception that there would be a plate of sweet treats for birthday guest. Everyone’s drinks were brought to table except mine i waited and in the end asked where it was then after the afternoon tea as we hadn’t seen the lady that served us for a while my husband asked another lady away from our table if the birthday plate could be brought out. she knew nothing about it and went off then came back and in front my daughter at the table said “all it is is a plate with a brownie on and happy birthday written, do you still want it?” I was so disappointed in what she...
I concur with other reviewers .. with the addition of snotty service and no lunchtime menu meaning it’s main menu like £18 for a stater and £35 main course. Last time I was here for the LUNCH MENU the place was packed and yet today, Friday, it’s virtually empty. Food was total rubbish. The fish was smelly and this is a prime example on how to destroy a business without really trying. Being local I can say your current reputation is exactly where it should be. Oh for the days when I spent £40k on my daughters wedding here. Last time for us ..
Had a very pleasant , simple lunch here on Thursday. Parked the car and just walked in. Very good , in fact, excellent service ! We both had the Pickwick Pie with vegetables,a fair portion of meat, good pastry , hot with an extra little jug of gravy . My feeling was that it was what we wanted , slightly overpriced, but that was ok, because the atmosphere was good. My only niggle ..get rid of the 12% service charge..10%is always plenty and really we should only give what we want to give …not feel obliged to pay…….a lot extra !
The only place where I have had lumpy scrambled eggy and watery crème anglaise passed off (after complaining) as custard with a skin on it. Not charged for but the chef’s brass cheek left more of a bad taste than the food. FOH was polite and working hard to keep it going but shouldn’t take and pass on such silly excuses from the kitchen. PS did chef really intend to send it out with a skin on it?
Decided to go for £35 3 course set menu early dinner 5 to 6pm. Having seen sample menu on line disappointed with menu offered. The starters and desserts were well presented and a good quality however the main course was not a good standard. The pork was very fatty and the potato was hard In places. Not happy to have a 12.5% service charge added to the bill and charged £4 for a bottle of water.
We visited the Angel for our anniversary meal and I must say it was delicious! The ambiance and service was impeccable! As it was our anniversary, they brought us a card and a complimentary dessert with a lovely message. The food was amazing. Steak perfectly cooked! Highly recommend for a special evening out!
