I was rather disappointed with the mackerel pate small platter, because the bread comprised two small very hard and brittle croutons like slices. It was described as garlic bread I believe but not very palatable and not enough for the amount of pate. I would like to see some more interesting salads than leaves and lettuce. Some winter mixed bean salad, perhaps? Even tomato salad. Otherwise it was as usual a very nice ambience and the hot chocolate and flapjack was excellent

Brilliant as always at Symondsbury kitchen

4 of us ordered lunch, 3 were very good and value for money. I ordered fish pie which was tasty, but for £18 was very small and had to order a side of leaves, so £22 for lunch was not value for money!! I would certainly choose carefully next time I visit.
