"I popped in today a little after 3pm to grab a spot of lunch and was initially told that the kitchen was closed and that only cakes and drinks were available but sandwiches could be purchased next door at the farm shop, which is fine. For those that haven’t visited before, the farm shop is about 10metres away and is part of the same complex and family business. I then nipped to the shop and purchased a sandwich and drink as suggested and returned to the outdoor seating area (which was empty along with most of the shop as well). At this point I was confronted by a member of staff who did introduce or excuse herself but quite rudely and abruptly said I had to purchase a drink to utilise the seating area as it is ‘Company Policy’. I calmed explained that I had just purchased my lunch from the farm shop as previously directed by another member of staff, to which the lady just repeated her previous statement again. Given the time of day and that the shop was basically empty, policy or not, some decorum could have been shown as well as some simple manners. Not wanting to argue I just left! To whoever is responsible for customer service within your department or company, I would kindly suggest that this member of staff is pulled aside to be re-trained and re-evaluated. I often visit both the shop and restaurant as I like to buy local but after today’s events, I am sorry to say that I don’t think I will be returning! To those of you that find yourselves in the same position, be very careful of this situation. I am struggling to think of a word other than SCAM! Simply appalling Jon Thorner, I thought your company was better than this! If I could, I would give this review zero stars…"

"Feb. 2022. This now well established and popular venue, continues to produce provender of the highest quality. I have been attending the establishment for many years now and it remains one of my favourite restaurants. This night the lamb shank Agnello Brasato was a melt in the mouth shoulder of lamb on a generous bed of mash pototo, brocoli and heritage' carrots. The cheesecake Torta di Formagi came with a topping of tart blackberries, a good foil to the cheese. And of course, the Sanglovese Rubicone, to wash it all down with. Probably the most agreeable house red' in any Italian restaurant. December 21 The panic (of them leaving) is over, but the pandemic remains. The spaghetti bolognese, mixed up like it should be, is beyond reproach and the Fragola e Lampone dessert, comes out better with every presentation. GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS. Aug 2019 Having eaten here often and always finding both the service and the food up to expectation, both waifu and I agreed to visit this establishment for our (whatever-it-was) th anniversary. Booking in advance and mentioning the occasion, the staff had placed roses on our table and we were treated to a complimentary aperitif. The food (taken from the lunch menu) met expectations as did the house red, a modest but pleasing Sangiovese Rubicone 2018, which washed down the meal very well. The day was cold, but the sun shone through the windows, the staff were attentive and amiable and all made the lunch experience most agreeable. That's the GOOD news. The BAD news, is they are leaving. Avaricious land-lords demands have induced a going concern to take their business elsewhere. So, dear reader, if you wish to experience this excellent establishment or wish to do so again, get a wiggle on they will be gone beginning in July. Moving to Winford apparently but more of this later."
