The best roast I’ve had in a while! Pork belly literally melted in my mouth, my friend enjoyed her chicken roast too. Cauliflower was super cheesy and yummy. Great atmosphere and welcoming service. Would deffo recommend!

All very good except we were disappointed by the main meals. Starters and dessert, excellent - main course not the standard expected. Breakfast also very good. Service and atmosphere we're great and the rom spacious.

Excellent meal in a great location, just off the A14. We have been to the Three Horseshoes location, which is a favourite of ours. This venue is equally as good. Will certainly be visiting again.

Ticks every box - We had the Sunday lunch, roast chicken and roast celeriac. The staff were helpful and good at making sure everything was ok. The atmosphere was good. Clean restaurant with plenty of light and space. There was no vegan main course on the menu and more and/or clearer options could definitely be added. However, the celeriac they made was really tasty! It's not cheap, but it's worth the trip.

Wow just spent 2 nights at this amazing place. A great welcome on arrival, superb room with lots of thought in the design and furnishings. A very welcome meeting at the bar, and then to dinner. Great food and menu, the staff are really attentive, excellent service. Breakfast was great both mornings . We took a taxi to the city, around 15 minutes and took the hassle of parking. Etc . Night 2 yet another fantastic meal and service. Well done all involved in the running of this place, if quality and great service matters you won’t go wrong here!
