We have not visited here for a couple of years and I was a little apprehensive after the last time. But there seem to be new owners.
We were part of a group of around 25-30 and although no fault of the restaurant, those of us there as scheduled seemed to wait ages for others who had gone home to change and collect others following a morning walk. I'm sure the restaurant was waiting for everyone to arrive before serving.
Once everyone had arrived things got going. The food was delicious, plenty of potatoes and vegetables unlike our last experience. Excellent service and the two young members of staff were helpful and attentive. It was also excellent value with the group booking for either a two or three course meal. At the end it was fine to settle up by card individually.
My only concern was that there was an extremely long wait between courses, even taking into consideration it was a large group booking and the last dishes of the previous courses had long since been cleared. To make matters worse, I along with numerous others, had decided not to have a starter, so it was probably a good hour before we got our first food.
We really must find an opportunity to visit again by ourselves and get a true representation of the restaurant.
