"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

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!

We were here three years ago, and it was amazing! The food in the galley was still great, but the dessert was a bit disappointing. The item was either unavailable or had unexpected changes, which made it confusing. I also feel that the plating has become a bit basic and doesn’t seem as well thought out compared to our previous visit. It would be great if this could be improved for a better experience.

Tried the seafood mains and starters. Delicious food, especially the starters. The lovely views are a bonus.

Lovely little place with plenty of seafood offerings on a reasonably mixed menu. Charming and friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere with local art pieces for sale on the walls and a nice choice of background music. Beautifully presented food that is as tasty as it looks.

What a gem! The menu is creative and an outstanding value for money, the service reflects an award winning restaurant, absolutely perfect! They have a new menu on which I’m really looking forward to try in 2 weeks!

My wife and I went to the Galley for an anniversary meal, except we nearly didn’t as she had forgotten to book, only when we phoned to enquire the time of our sorting did we realise we had forgotten. Fortunately the Galley were able to accommodate us at the time we should have booked, many thanks! The food is simply delicious, with enough on the menu to satisfy meat eaters, vegetarian s or pescatarians. As you can see for the pictures the food is beautifully turned out and tastes amazing. The most amazing part to be honest was the price, three courses for two plus wine and a beer all for £100, would have happily paid twice that for the food. Take a visit you won’t regret it.

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!
