At Lovelady Shield House

Try it the taste sensations were lovely from the goats cheese mousse starter to the liquid orange gel with the chocolate brownie lovely

The 7 course tasting menu is fabulous, you are escorted into the restaurant and then courses are served at intervals so it is nice leisurely dining. Bistro food was also very good.

Tired and pretentious, not what we hoped for. Not worth the drive. It felt like someone cut up pub food dishes and tried to decorate them cleverly then sold them as a tasting menu. Boring to say the least.

Having been informed that this hotel is to close permanently we booked in for a night with Dinner- 7 course taster menu with wine and Bed and Breakfast. The service was excellent and the food sublime. The chef excelled with his choice of dishes.

7 course taster menu is excellent, top quality food, good variety. Excellent wine choice and bar menu. Breakfast excellent choice and quality, very very tasty. Staff in hotel very helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and average for type of hotel. Excellent base for local area and lovely and peaceful.

We have visited this restaurant multiple times and recently enjoyed a 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was outstanding and each wine complemented the courses perfectly. While the full price might be expensive, it's worth joining their mailing list to take advantage of frequent offers. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and breakfast offers a wide variety of freshly cooked options that are a real treat.

The food at this restaurant is expertly prepared and beautifully plated. The staff are well-trained and provide top-notch service. The bistro menu offers more straightforward options like chilli con carne or fish and chips, but the real standout is the taster menu. We tried dishes from both menus and they were all delicious, but we were particularly impressed with the taster menu, which comes with a flight of wines carefully chosen to complement each course. Kudos to the talented new chef and the outstanding staff.

We opted for the seven-course tasting menu at a great price, with the option of a wine flight for £30 per person. The restaurant offers a wide selection of wines by the glass or half bottle. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful and the flavors were incredible, pleasing both visually and on the palate. The combination of dishes and accompaniments was well thought out. The cheese plate and sweet dessert at the end were a nice touch. The staff were friendly and polite. It's no surprise this restaurant has received a rosette award. A truly fantastic dining experience.

We have visited several times before and always had an excellent food experience and this time was no exception. From the Amuse Bouche Wholemeal bread round, smoked salmon and lemon yogurt through six more courses to the Chocolate mouse with brownie and vanilla ice cream we were treated to a gastronomic experience that was well worth the visit. Each course was well served by the waiting staff and you were given enough time to enjoy each course before the plates were removed. The highlights were the smoked haddock and bean cassoulet and the main of sirloin steak, just outstanding. If you have never been for a tasting menu at Lovelady Shield Hotel then it is well worth the visit.
