Cost: £105.00, inc service.
Every dish was beautifully prepared, perfectly cooked and very well presented. Even the crockery was just right. The wines and food were delicious. We could find no fult with anything.
Even though the hotel’s exterior is a little unprepossessing, the restaurant is nicely decorated and as well presented as the food.
The service was efficient, very professional and not at all hurried. The woman who appeared to be in charge was very good at anticipating our needs. Lyn was most impressed by the lack of fuss when she asked for a ‘doggy bag’.
Our rating: FIVE STARS - extremely good value for money
We have since paid a return visit for an ‘ad-hoc nosebag’ with Hazel, the 4th Old Horse. Everything was just a excellent - we were not at all disappointed.
