My wife and I booked a table for evening dining last week. We used to live the in the village around 10 years ago but never got around to dining here. We now live nearly an hours drive away but decided to take the trip anyway as we love our good food. My wife made the booking via email which was as simple as agreeing a time and informing of how many people for. It’s a lovely building tucked back off of the main road, parking was a little tricky as spaces are limited and shared between diners and people staying. The staff on arrival were great and explained that the lounge was full as asked if we would mind going straight to our table, which wasn’t a problem. We were there for 3 courses but received some tasty nibbles when we sat down and a lovely taster to start. The chef clearly knows their food. The only issue we had was when we came to order. The main section on the menu had no vegetarian option at all. This is very strange and something I’ve never seen lacking on any menu. When the waitress, a lady we hadn’t seen already that evening, came to our table to take our order, we asked what the veggie option was. We were met with a confused look and was informed that any dietary requirements should have been made clear when making our booked. We informed the waitress that this was not made clear to us when booking and that being vegetarian is not a dietary requirement. Also, written at the bottom of the menu it said, “please let your waitress know of any dietary requirements”, so clearly this could be made known at the time. It was very unprofessional to blame the customer for this, but I will give the waitress the benefit of the doubt because she did do her best to see what alternative she could arrange for my wife. The dish my wife received in the end, although a plate of sides, was very tasty and was like a plater. Again, the chef clearly knows their food. It’s a real shame that a veggie option is not always on the menu as the food was really good, and for this reason we sadly won’t be returning. I would however, encourage anyone who eats meat and fish to try this place for food at it was lovely and good value.
