"I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent, with friendly bar staff and lovely waitresses. We enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch; I just wish I had ordered the chicken like my wife, which she claimed was delicious. I opted for the beef, which was a bit fatty, but overall, both meals were quite tasty. I will definitely be returning! Price per person: £20–30. Food: 4/5. Service: 5/5. Atmosphere: 5/5. Recommended dish: Sunday Roast."

"I had a fantastic Sunday lunch with delicious Yorkshire puddings at this restaurant. The chicken burger was also incredibly large and tasty. The food was great, the staff were excellent, and the atmosphere was very friendly. Another plus is the huge car park, which is convenient when meeting friends from different locations. I would rate the rooms, service, and location all a 5 out of 5. Overall, this hotel is great value for money."

"Having planned to spend this mid week morning at the nearby Dyrham Park we had reserved a table here for lunch. We were both hungry after a good 2 hours walk around the Park’s gardens. This small café restaurant is right on the A46 between Bath and the M4 at Junction 18. The views towards East Bristol are expansive, and it was a beautifully clear day. This was our first visit to an eatery in 2022. It was also well overdue for this restaurant; as it is located on the main A46 route to the M4 from both Bath and East Bristol. Both my partner and I have driven past this place hundreds of times, having lived in the area, in my case, for most of the last 40 years. Today our table was reserved for 13:30 and we arrived a good 15 minutes early (not a problem and had a short wait whilst our table was cleared and cleaned from the previous occupants. We studied the menu and both decided on a ‘Berry Go Round’ smoothie and then the beef burger. Sadly, the smoothies were ‘off the menu’, but the burgers were thankfully not. My partner opted for no burger bun, whereas I had the ‘full fat’ version. Our coffee and non alcoholic drinks were soon served the coffee was good and strong, and my sparkling rhubarb and apple water was excellent. The burgers arrived after a reassuring wait (thus indicating that they had been cooked to order . The burgers were served hot with raw and caramelized onions, leaves and tomatoes plus 3 good crisp onion rings. The brioche bun I enjoyed allowed me to eat from my hand whereas my partner had to use cutlery. We both agreed that we have rarely had a more moist, tender and tasty burger: it was fabulous. Slightly pink and so juicy, and the chips were good too. It is unusual for me to order a burger, but today it just appealed (maybe my sixth sense told me? Service was excellent and charming. The conservatory was a bit cold, but we were suitably dressed and warm from our walk, so that didn’t affect us. This is a very pleasant eatery; maybe ‘pleasantly quirky’ but much to be enjoyed. We will be back and it will be difficult not to have another of those wonderful burgers!"
