Firstly, carparking was around the side, but bit of a walk for the injured or elderly. They do have car spaces reserved for hotel customers.
Well, what a nice rustic hotel and stunning building. Had our hopes up. Nice staff at the bar. Not many people here and most tables were empty so found us a nice corner to be seated to admire the bookcases and contents.
Food ordering was via the QR scan app me&u which I like a lot. No wine selections on the app or specials however. ???
The pub grub had a nice list of menu items, not extensive. Only rump and porterhouse steak. No other options. It came with a free garlic bread. They cooked the porthouse very well on point for a med-rare but it was cold very quickly and then chewy.
The asparagus on the plate was huge because the cook did not cut off the wooded ends so made it a bit of a mission to spit it out in the napkin discretely.
The guiness beef pie 🥧 was not nice. Flavours were good, peas were hard, crust was thick and hard to bite so not a fan.
Will try them again another time as reading the reviews here a lot of people are rating this hotel food high.
