While walking along the coast to coast trail, we stayed at the Black Swan and discovered that the information provided by our travel agent about the restaurant was outdated. What used to be a creative dining experience has now turned into disappointing pub food. We suggest looking for dining options elsewhere.

Our chateaubriand was one of the best we have ever had for many years. Admittedly we had to wait 40mins after ordering which is we would expect. It was well presented, cooked to perfection and had a fantastic flavour and cooked to perfection The quality is second to none and would definitely recommend the restaurant as the service was very good.

I was unsure of what to expect at first, as the 'wait to be seated' style welcome was a bit disorganized. However, the food was absolutely delicious in both taste and presentation. For those looking to satisfy their hunger after a day of hiking, I would recommend ordering one of their tasty sides to complement your main dish, as we did. Sam was our server and he was very polite and helpful without being too intrusive. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. Speisekarte ansehen

We decided on the Market menu which has a relatively small selection but sounded interesting. Three truly excellent courses followed with good basic ingredients and skilful but not over-complex presentation. I was so impressed( and not a little surprised) that I asked how long the chef had been there. Apparently only about a month and the new menu just started!! Good wine list with interesting choices and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Not given away but well worth the price!!

The food and service was perfect. The grouse was so tender and pumpkin with blackberries was the perfect combination. My husband had lamb chump, his comments were utterly delicious . The ham hock starter was mouth watering.White chocolate fondant oozed sauce. The only negative was the room, changed since we were last staying there and rather stark. This would have been a five star rating otherwise. No tablecloths or flowers, bleak infact.. Cloths would improve the noise level and flowers however small would be more attractive. We have already booked to eat there again!

I booked a table for our group of 10 friends on New Years Eve in the Black Swan and we had a really fantastic evening. We were greeted with a Champagne reception and served really good canapés. The tables were immaculate in their layout with white linen and silver cutlery, drinking water and wine glasses. The food was divine and every one enjoyed the seven courses. The service at the table was outstanding and the staff here are all very friendly and super efficient, I would particularly like to praise Andre and Lori. The manager Lise worked very hard to ensure that all tables were happy. Speisekarte ansehen

The Gallery restaurant, which used to offer fine dining ten years ago, has now shifted its focus towards pub food with rooms under new ownership. We recently tried their "Dine-Inn Staycation" offer twice and were pleased with the reasonably priced, good quality pub food. Highlights included excellent fish and chips and a pan-roasted salmon fillet special for £14.95, as well as a £35.95 ribeye steak. The menu offered a good selection of starters and desserts, as well as a limited list of wines under £30. Despite the challenges of communicating behind Covid masks, the staff provided efficient and attentive service. Overall, we enjoyed our meals at the Gallery.

As we were staying at the hotel for one night we thought we would eat in the restaurant in the evening . When we got downstairs we were asked to take a seat in the bar first and they would come across with the food menu . Once we had taken a look at the menu we both knew what we wanted to order but first i made a few enquires regarding GF to see if they could modify a couple of dishes for me , The waitress was very helpful and went to ask the chef . I went for the country farmhouse pate which GF bread was given then for mains I had the fillet steak and new potatoes instead of the chips . My husband had soup to start then the roast pork dinner . The quality of the food and level of service wa...

We’ve been coming to the “mucky duck” almost every year for 30 years or more and sadly the restaurant is not what it was. Seated in the bar we made our choices over a gin tonic, we both asked for the crab starter, I ordered plaice and my wife lamb for our main courses. We couldn’t help hearing lots of folk in the bar ordering the crab and judging by the teaspoonfull of crab we got, the chef must have decided to ration it and compensate by dumping two thick unpleasant lumps of cured salmon on each plate. My plaice was beautiful but my wife’s lamb was tough and the kidneys which came with it, tasted as though they had not been properly cleaned. Slighly making up for the rest of the meal was th...
