    Lovely lunch here with 2 friends . I have Coeliac Disease . Menu items were well marked and our server Ricky , very kindly offered and double checked my options with the chef so as to confirm there would be no cross contamination. I ordered the fries to start as I cannot have the flower pot bread they serve . I had the gf mushroom soup and the quinoa fritters. All delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant for the service , the food and warmth of everyone who works there ! A very safe place to eat for people with a gluten allergy !

    About 5 years ago, we first visited Cottage. We hadn’t been back simply because it was so noisy you couldn’t have a conversation. We don’t tecall what day of the eeek we were there. We were delighted in our visit today,Sunday, as the music was not too loud and diners did not have to shout to be heard across the table. The soft lighting was perfect and the service was terrific. The food was so good, we’ve decided to return sometime soon!
