    We thought the special of the Dover Sole was very expensive at £50 when all the rest in the menu were not at that cost. By the time you add side dishes as well about £65. You should let people know before they order like they do at The Millbrook.

    The food was beautifully presented, tasted great and was good value for money. The staff were helpful and attentive and made us very welcome. However, the wine is expensive. The location is fantastic and the dining room with the view over the sea, wonderful

    All good. Staff exceptional, helpful, friendly and welcoming. Always need more vegetarian options (but that’s just me) plenty of other options for most. Lovely table looking out to sea. Superb.

    Always lovely but ran out of roasts really early. Plenty of other yummy things to choose from but the roasts are so good it was a bit disappointing
