As a wedding guest I found it a hospitable venue with pleasant staff, easily enough of them to get food out to all tables without noticeable delay. The food was very good and food intolerances were handled without any fuss. I found it a really good venue and couldn't fault it at all

Have twice dined here and have not been disappointed. The first time the dining room was full, the second we and our friends were the only diners for most of our meal. The view of the old water mill wheel is a lovely touch. The food is freshly cooked and delicious. All 4 of us were highly delighted with our meals and I had the best liver and bacon I've ever had! It looks the most fabulous setting for a wedding with picturesque grounds.
