"Called in for some lunch and didn't know what to expect really, it looked like a town pub from the outside. It was brilliant. The food was lovely, reasonably priced (not cheap but felt well worth what we got) and the guy serving couldn't have been more hospitable. We had a lovely lunch and ended up staying for deserts and sole drinks which wasn't planned. It was very well presented inside, if anything we felt a little underdressed in casual clothes on the way back from the swimming pool not that we were made to feel it in any way. There is a car park behind the pub which was very convenient. Plenty of food and drink options for us and the kids and it was served, presented and tasted great. It felt like a lot of effort was put into the food preparation and presentation, which mirrored the general feeling of the pub based on the gentleman running the bar and restaurant area and the way the area generally felt. Definitely one to visit if you fancy a nice meal out or pelasant place to grab some drinks and you're in the area. We would definitely go again. Food drinks: We didn't stay at the hotel, just ate and drank there and it was fantastic."

"Did not want to post this review but I provided an online review, as requested by restaurant , but had no response. Went for Sunday lunch with another couple. Stood around for ages before being welcomed and shown to our table. Not terribly busy but there was a large birthday party at an adjacent table. Ordered meals, only main courses, which did take some time to arrive but had no problem with that. When they arrived the two roasts were swimming in “ bisto” gravy more in keeping with a “ Greasy Spoon” café. There were no green vegetables and when requested were told there weren’t any. The salmon was over cooked and the Cumberland sausage and mash, although nicely presented came with braised red cabbage and onion gravy which completely overpowered the meal. No one came to ask us if our meals were OK even when clearing plates which had sizeable amounts left. We asked for sweet menus but they never arrived. Our table was booked from 1.45 with a request to vacate by 3.45 which was fine. However before 2.00 pm staff were starting to clear up and were resetting the restaurant for evening session and as it was obvious we were not going to get sweet menus and felt we were in the way so we had no alternative but to leave. Having travelled some way to visit this establishment to say we were disappointed is an understatement,"

"If you are searching for authentic Italian cuisine made with the freshest ingredients, this is the perfect spot. They use imported olive oil, cheese, and other ingredients blended with local suppliers. The menu is accompanied by a fantastic wine selection (I suggest trying the chilled red sparkling Bonarda!). What truly makes this place stand out is the knowledge and charm of both Cinzia and Maurizio. It's a masterclass! Bravo!"

"We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! We went for an early dinner on a bank holiday weekend. The hostess (Ramana? Apologies if that's wrong) was incredibly friendly, and all the staff were well-trained and attentive. The food was outstanding. We tried the A La Carte menu this time, but we are definitely going to try the 6-course tasting menu on our next visit. It was a very enjoyable meal. Rating: Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Highlights: Luxury, Quiet atmosphere."

"We had just arrived at The White Bull (check out my review) and were advised to have breakfast at the deli across the street. Our first impressions were positive; the deli had a charming, welcoming atmosphere with beautifully arranged displays and very friendly staff. As we walked through the shop, we passed shelves filled with bread, and the counter featured an enticing selection of savory snacks and an impressive assortment of cakes. The shelves offered preserves, jams, honey, beer, and many other delicious treats. We mentioned that we were coming from the pub and were seated at a table. We ordered tea for two, a cheesy omelet for my partner, and smoked salmon scrambled eggs for myself. Everything was delicious. After a day out, we returned in the afternoon for tea and cake. We highly recommend this place!"
