This was a very fine meal, and I have not been for a while. You walk in to a very beautiful pub bar, with little signs everywhere telling you what time you can sit at tables at. It may be better if one of the excellent staff were to greet you and suggest a seat. We had a pint and read the menus for the (pre booked) lunch and were taken through to one of the dining rooms. Tables were quite close together I thought, and the Mouseman tops could do with a little attention. Very good potato bread came, along with the wine chosen for the starter, then the pasta with truffles (very good 36 month Parmesan slightly overdone) and my guest had black pudding with goose liver and an apple topping, which was practiced and good. The quality of the black pudding was superb. Mains of roast beef sirloin and mallard were both great, but not very good roast potatoes, unfortunately. Good bottle of burgundy. One stand out souflee and some cheese which was fine, but had I known there was a trolley, I’d had chosen differently. ‘Warm’ digestive biscuits were cold. Nice pudding wine, brandy and a very good espresso. Staff were excellent throughout, but the food needs a little attention.
