Our long awaited visit to Midsummer House did not disappoint. Outstanding food, great service, excellent wine pairings. Need to return in summer to enjoy the location as it was dark and I’m sure the surroundings would be a joy to see. Thank you all for making our visit memorable.

I’ve already recommended The Oak Bistro to several people. Excellent food, very accommodating when we showed up on a busy Thursday lunchtime 45 minutes early for our reservation, having caught an earlier train. Food was exceptional. And, with the option of a Prix fixe menu, there was a decent range of prices.

Another excellent Sunday roast lunch at the red lion. We were seated quickly on arrival and didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. We both thoroughly enjoyed our roast dinners. Friendly service from the staff and overall a lovely atmosphere.
