My wife and I ate here on Saturday evening, we had no booking and just walked in. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food that we were served was delicious and they have a very good wine list.

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.

Excellent food, interesting menu, including carved roast from trolley. Great choices including a fabulous cheese trolley. Staff were really good, helpful friendly. We thought they were brilliant. Fillet steak great quality, if any criticism, peppercorn sauce was very thin no sign of peppercorns, but didn’t detract from quality of our meal. Finished with a great rhubarb custard dessert, delicious

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.

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...

A night away with the husband at the equally fabulous Feversham Arms we wanted to try somewhere different to eat. We hadn’t booked a table just called in. The staff from the front desk, to the bar staff to the waiters were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself has a lovely feel to it, with lots of beautiful art (it’s a gallery during the day the waiters couldn’t have been more attentive and were keen to point out that there were a few new dishes on the menu they were keen to get feedback on. I had the moules to start, really good size and the sauce it came in was fresh and delicious, often they are cream and garlic heavy, this was delightful. My husband had the cheese So...
