The Galley

"Set towards the older part of a delightful town, this cosy, rustic, reinvigorated bistro comes with a cheery atmosphere and prices that won’t frighten the horses. The menu is not overly long but is balanced and appealing, and the cooking is delivered with consummate care and not without some finesse. If it’s game season, don’t miss the venison. If you aren’t a local, this place will make you wish you were one." - Michelin Inspector

For a restaurant that once held a Michelin star, our experience that evening was somewhat disappointing. The octopus was a little mushy and didn’t taste as fresh as we had hoped, and the plaice, though nicely presented, was far too salty and overwhelmed the natural flavor of the fish. Overall, the main courses didn’t quite live up to the restaurant’s reputation, which was a pity because we had been looking forward to dining here.

We had a full 3 course meal here with some of the supliments. For starters we had the scallop and makrel, both were great. Mains were good, the duck was worth the extra price. I would skip the veg though, as nothing special. Dessert was good. The souffle was very impressive. They'd also swapped out one of the options for a special, which was nice. Overall it's really good value and absolutely no complaints. Service was very attentive and friendly.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed dining experience. Although the menu is not extensive, each dish is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing well-balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. The seafood, in particular, is exceptionally fresh and cooked to perfection. Combined with attentive and friendly service, this restaurant delivers an outstanding overall experience. Will visit again when around the area

Award winning restaurant forgetting the basics. Food was excellently cooked but very small servings. The staff could not have been more disengaged, undertook bare minimum interaction and at times ignored us completely and very slow delivery of everything to the table. Tables are very close together resulting in frequent back sides stuck across your table and your chair incessantly being pushed as staff and customers push passed,

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impressively fast. At first, I thought the portions might be small, but they were actually very satisfying and filling. Given the quality of the food, the prices felt incredibly reasonable—this is truly an honest and well-run restaurant. The dessert was outstanding! I’m not usually a fan of sweet treats, but the dark chocolate mousse was simply exceptional. It completely won me over. The staff were friendly, hardworking, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. A rare find in terms of both food quality and service. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing and I do not say that lightly!! The waitresses were so fun and attentive, the owner? Filled my glass as soon as it was empty! Food was so tasty and really well cooked and presented. If you are reading the reviews to see if you should go... you definitely should!! Good food, good wine, ambience and friendly... what more do you need!

I have a favour to ask anyone reading this review: please keep it between ourselves as I fear table availability might otherwise become scarce. To put it bluntly: the food here is scandalously good. My wife & I shared a starter & pud & ordered 2 mains. In terms of quality, we cd easily have been sitting in L'Enclume, or The Square, or J Sheekey's. Truly sensational but, as I say, keep it quiet please!

The Galley is a lovely change to normal hotels. It offers lots of extras that have been really thought about and it is a very loved place. The accommodation above the restaurant is very different and offers all the comforts you would expect from an establishment like this. I highly recommend it! The food in the restaurant is fish and being slightly fussy I cant stand the stuff. The staff were very helpful and made me a fantastic pasta dish and a stunning steak! Go and try and see for yourself!
