"Rarely has a small business delivered so much in such a compact space – an incredibly well stocked farm shop with standout meat counter offering the full works including game, and gourmet food and wine goods covering most of the bases. Then there are the home made delights of the adjoining cafe which has become a regular breakfast haunt for us and where we have also enjoyed a tasty lunch. The scones and cakes seem to be very popular with other customers. It is rewarding for us to be able to do shopping such as organic skimmed milk and free range eggs alongside picking up a pheasant and some venison, rare cheeses, gourmet pates and specialist pickles. Our kind of provisioning experience. Lots of choices and surprises. The country kitchen atmosphere of the cafe is perfect and the service friendly. Good range of breakfast offerings and the specials board for lunch tempts the palate with thoughtful creations. The whole business model is an example of excellence to inspire others. Major congratulations from two deeply appreciative regulars."

"We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The pub was decorated beautifully for Christmas and had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There were only a few tables available, but we were able to snag one of the smaller tables near the bar that was perfect for our dog. The staff were busy but still friendly and attentive. We chose the turkey from the Christmas menu and it was delicious and served hot. The food was of high quality and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a great way to start our weekend getaway. Thank you."

"A proper family atmosphere from the minute you walk in and are greeted warmly then on to the lovely restaurant and attentive staff. Great food choices and of course so many cakes to choose from. Loved looking at the Xmas decorations and checking out the plants and flowers always in top condition. It is a lovely oasis and a favourite haunt to bring friends."

"We had high expectations of Crathorne Hall and were looking forward to a special treat of Friday evening dinner. The grounds and entrance are stunning, and create a real sense of anticipation as you walk on the red carpet into the building. We had pre dinner drinks in the lounge drawing room. A waitress knocked our candle over and spilled hot wax on the table and my handbag; not to worry, these things happen. My partner's vodka and coke came as vodka and lemonade; everyone makes mistakes. Waiter asked if that was spilled wax and told us not to worry he was sure he could clean it up later, as if we'd done it!! We went into the restaurant for dinner. A party taking place next door meant that instead of low key romantic atmosphere, we were treated to Twist and Shout, Happy Birthday etc. Amuse bouches arrived beautiful but bland. One of my forks was clotted with old food so I requested a clean one. Starters arrived I was given a tomato tart. I'd ordered the tomato sponge but apparently that was off and I should have been told. I wasn't and I wouldn't have ordered a tart. But it was either have it or sit waiting whilst my partner looked at his and waited too, so I had the tart. Nothing wrong with it but nothing striking either ;little flavour. Same verdict for the pate. Ordered glass of dry rose not asked what size served me a large one was pretty sweet. Mains arrived. Ribeye was missing the Peppercorn sauce we ordered. This then came after reminding staff, was poured over steak before discovering it was a thin, extremely peppery reduction which presumably was waiting to have cream added to it. Ruined the steak although my partner made the best of it. No checkback until meal finished , when we told waiter , who made enquiries and said sauce hadn't been reduced fully ?? And took the £1.50 supplement off bill. Pot chicken with fondant potatoes was OK but again fairly tasteless. Potatoes needed lots more seasoning. Desserts were a pleasant pineapple meringue dish, and a cheeseboard I can't relate what the cheeses were as I wasn't told, which at the beginning of the evening I would have found quite shocking but by this stage nothing could surprise us. We are not diners who complain at small things; however at £39 per person for dinner, and £35 for four drinks, everything needs to be right. Dirty cutlery, wrong drinks, bad sauce etc just doesn't cut it. We won't be back."

"Great bathroom, room is big, but no opening window so claustrophobic and warm. Needs some form of information booklet/laminate. Details of breakfast times, checkout etc. No bar menu offered so no idea of what is on offer. Food is OK, a bit bland and uninteresting for a small menu. Chicken ballatine was very cold, needed to be out of the fridge a little, tempura prawns had little coating. Didn't like smoked mashed potatoes, personal choice but too much. Food is well cooked just not the standard expected. Breakfast was great. Staff very helpful . Just needs some oomph!"
