Absolutely amazing ambience and service. We thoroughly enjoyed the food but the roast potatoes were not as good as the standard of the other foods served.

Not quite the usual Nook experience on Christmas Eve. The food didn't quite have the usual finesse, the table we had had a spotlight glaring into one of our faces (couldn't be fixed) and the wine was a bit ordinary for the prices charged.

We had a reservation for Sunday afternoon 22nd of December, the restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas and dinner was accompanied with a singer and pianist performing seasonal classics which was absolutely amazing. The staff were very polite and attentive which was great and overall it was a good experience, it was just a real shame in regards to the food, we felt that we were essentially paying for the ambience rather than the food. All roasts were accompanied with seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, cauliflower cheese and a Yorkshire pudding and there was a vegetarian option on the menu, though it didn’t go into detail. When it came out we realised the vegetarian roast was basically squash, not squash made into anything, just the squash, so essentially vegetables with vegetables, which just doesn’t substitute as a main part of a meal however it’s dressed up, though they didn’t even try to dress it up. I just couldn’t believe it and it was such a shame as we had said we would love to go back there, but we felt the food overall was just ok, then in regard to the vegetarian aspect of the meal, we felt it was really lazy not to put a bit more thought and effort into the menu and I pretty much left the majority, as the abundance of vegetables left it pretty bland.

An amazing venue, staff were very professional, attentive and friendly. The courses took a while to arrive but were delicious. My wife had the scallops and I had prawn cocktail, a real traditional treat! No lemon wedge but it didn’t need it. Main course was fish and chips and wagyu burger. My chips were much better than the skin on fries in our opinion. Portions were generous. Overall the food and experience was excellent, a real birthday treat for my wife. We will return - in fact we bought a voucher for a Christmas gift. Thank you.
