"Absolute shambles from start to finish! Told there would be a 45 min wait for cooked food, so opted for a cream tea. The waitress couldn’t seem to work out that we only one scone each and a cup of tea each. Got 2 scones, one knife on a board and a tea for one. Told her we wanted 2 teas oh you’ve only paid for one. Ok well add another on please! I could pay for that at the end. We were sitting outside as no space inside. Attacked by a swarm of wasps. Couldn’t stay there. I looked around, there was a big tent behind that noone had mentioned to us moved all our stuff in about 3 trips. Turns out it was no better! Had to give up on the scones with the infestation of wasps. Left . Went to pay for the tea. Told them how we felt. Not so much as a sorry, offer of not paying for the tea. Offer of help to help us move disaster from start to finish!"

"I had the Bouillabaisse which was amazing could have done with more bread to accompany it though. My husband had fish and chips but found the portion of fish rather small for the price. Mussels were deemed excellent by my daughter in law. Children were very happy with their meals. Shame the weather wasn't good enough to have the doors open onto the terrace. Service was pretty good and friendly."

"Inventive menu-all of a table of four were equally positive about the dining experience. Food was excellent and the presentation could not have been bettered.Have not eaten better at any restaurant-and that includes the occasional Michelin Star venue. This chef is going places-watch out for his name-book now before he becomes unaffordable!!"

"We ate here on the first night of our holiday and so glad we did. We ate early (6.45pm) and it filled up quite quickly after 7pm. The range of tapas options was great, with different food styles and flavours from around the world. We ordered 6 dishes, no bread, with the intention of having dessert, but we were too full. Never mind what we had was delicious! The wine by the glass was also very good. £80 total, including tip."

"We decided to book a table at the Pub to celebrate my parents' recent move to the village and to experience the local cuisine. It was the first time dining there for all 9 of us, and we had high expectations. The bar area with its low ceilings, log fires, and cozy atmosphere impressed me upon arrival. Unfortunately, due to the size of our group, we were seated in the back room/Conservatory, which lacked the charm of the bar area. The menu offered a variety of choices for starters, mains, and desserts, as well as options for children. Most of us opted for a roast, and I chose the fish n chips just to be safe. The roast that was served left me puzzled, as the meat was bleeding on the plate from not being rested properly, and the accompanying vegetables were lacking. The potatoes were average, and my fish and chips were just okay. It seems that the restaurant has potential to be much better, but it lacks passion and creativity in the kitchen. It's a shame as there is so much more that could be done to elevate the dining experience."
