Bidrage med feedbackLunch here is a lovely experience. The team deliver a friendly, relaxed and upmarket vibe. The spacious dining room ensures conversations are private and with stunning views it’s a real relaxer. The food is delicious of course served by friendly professional staff. All in all the feeling is of a well run operation. Three courses plus tasty extras make for a good value satisfying meal.
Our son bought a voucher for my birthday, £75, towards lunch on a Saturday. Firstly a lovely location, looking out on a bright cold day over Skiddlaw I believe. We were in the conservatory and beside the views were treated to lots of birds demolishing the food from the bird feeder. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. So no choice, a 5 course set menu for £75 a person. We had a drink each to start, and I ordered a bottle of one of their least expensive wine, a Rioja at £50. The courses were varied, with lots of culinary skill on show. Some excellent bread accompanied the meal, we asked for more-as I noticed did all other tables. I think the reason for this is that although each course was nice, the portion size was tiny. I understand that a tasting menu will be smaller portions but these, especially the John Dory, were minuscule. Coffee to finish and an additional £185 to pay, £260 in total. If both of us had had the wine flight this would have been well over £300. So in summary, yes some excellent cooking and skilful use of flavours on display but the reason for the 3 star rating is that for £260 the value/price equation is just not there.
Fabulous! stunning location and views spectacular food dink and service highly recommended everything was on point for the whole time we were there including the red squirrels who turned up for a breakfast show! we'll be back
We stayed for two nights including a tasting menu on both nights, we opted for the wine paring as well. The cooking and dish presentation was of very high quality, the wine pairings were well selected, and the service was very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay.
An adequate 5 course lunch was served by pleasant staff. There wasn't any stand out course that demonstrated particular flair,or highlighted an exceptional flavour/ingredient in my opinion. The setting was attractive and the ambiance relaxed.
