Restaurants near The Animal Ark

Table service to order took a while, but to be fair to staff, they were very busy. Staff were all polite and professional. Food was plentiful. I ordered pork belly, mash and veg and my husband ordered battered fish and chips. My pork belly was huge! But rather salty and I had so much on my plate, I could only eat half of the meal, same for my husband. Therefore, I had to take mine home in a box for later. Food was very fresh and very hot. I will definitely return, but maybe in daylight, as the car park and path to the carpark were not lit, so it was difficult to see where you're going.

This is a great “foodie” restaurant, the standard, presentation and quality of the food is very good. There were at least 2 vegetarian options, both of which were unusual and made a great change from what the average restaurant offers. Service was excellent despite it being a very busy lunchtime serving. The dining room was noisy due to being busy and next time we would opt to sit in the bar where the customers were quieter but overall everything was excellent

Another wonderful afternoon tea experience at The Assembly House. Great service, wonderful food and a great start to our Christmas celebrations. Thank you so much to all the staff who continue to deliver a wonderful experience in the most amazing building.

Busy staff at bar acknowledged and sorted us quickly, and were efficient and personable throughout. The food was tasty and well cooked. Nibbles generous. Starters, lovely and mains v.good Tender rare venison and a very good game pie, thin walled pastry and right amount of sauce within. Didn't have dessert as too full up. Good selection of beers. Abbott was very good. Will come again. With friends.

Exceptional service and a lovely dining experience as usual. We tried the festive afternoon tea which was delicious, however for us there wasn’t enough savoury and too much sweet. For the cost I would have liked at least a savoury scone option or a sausage roll maybe. Still a lovely experience and we will return to eat from the main menu.
