Advantages: Quality of food

Disadvantages: Bit chilly in early January

A special birthday meal out for a lady 'of a certain age' needs some planning and restaurant selection. Had I known it was a Harvesters-type place, we wouldn't probably have gone. However, from the moment I rang, to enquire about disabled access and types of meals likely to be available, the service was excellent. Plus the chance to download a voucher in advance to buy cheaper wine - always welcome. The starters were superb, although the pigeon starter was no more, but a chicken and bacon dish was very tasty, as was the soup of the day and the stilton and pear pie. An aperifit of G+T (Bombay SApphire too) was tasty. The main courses were ribeye steak - cooked to perfection for me as medium rare, plus one of the fish dishes with fennel - kept us all busy and happy. The starters arrived quickly, and the main within 45 minutes of us arriving. Washed down with a £22 bottle of Chilean Rosé costing only £11, the entire meal was super. THe dessert menu looked very appealing, but we were stuffed! Final bill was £90 for 3 people, pre dinner drinks, bottle of wine, starter and main each. Would heartily recommend.

Summary: Worthwhile experience
