However when the server asked how it was and my wife said her meal was a little salty but okay the server lost her composure and totally went off about how dare we tell her that at the end of a meal.

Quite simply perfect! I know, it sounds impossible but it's true. I even took my parents there this…read moretime it's that good. The food is all home-made, from bread and burgers to cakes and relish and the ingredients are mostly locally sourced. The service is great, the staff are extremely friendly and happy to suggest other places of interest to visit in and around the area. The real stars however are the food and interior. The menu is varied, I have only eaten during the day but there are light snacks and larger lunches; the vegetarian burger and chips is fantastic. For a restuarant in such a tourist hop-spot it is reasonably priced and blows the competition out of the water in terms of quality and freshness. The interior is wondefull; artfully comfortable and relaxing. There is plenty to look at whilst you wait for your food-the aged ceiling beams hung with bunches of dried flowers and candles which sounds twee but isn't at all. The toilet is incomparable, like visiting the home of a slightly bohemian but clean obsessed aunt! All in all I can't reccommend this more highly, although if that means I can't get a table when I next go maybe I'll reconsider this review!

Goats in the field, hens roaming free, and two water wheels - one working to mill the flour. The cafe has a very limited menu, but what they do they do extremely well. I had fabulous quiche with crispy spelt four crust and exquisitely good salad selection. The soups are delicious and the breads are to die for. Served on ceramics made by local potters. There's a selection of organic foods and gifts to take home, as well as baked goods. Try the onion bread! More expensive than average, but well worth it. And once you rejoin the main road turn left to continue over Hartside - a stunning drive.

They gave us a giant round table that was super plush and cozy. My gin and elderflower tonic was delicious, as was the tagliatelle bolognese. I finished mine and almost my husband's too. The portion was the perfect size and the rest of our table enjoyed their meals and desserts too. They offer lots of appetizers (like specially-made bruschettas, etc), as well as pizzas, pastas, salads, and decadent desserts. Honestly didn't even notice that it was all vegetarian. Definitely go here!

Reservations are a must, and my understanding is that they book up quite quickly, and that late arrivals are frowned upon. However, it's absolutely worth the trouble. There's no dress code, jeans aren't frowned upon, though people tend to dress a bit more nicely than they might for just a walk down to the pub. The food is absolutely lovely, well-thought and absolutely delicious, and even dedicated meat-eaters will find themselves quite satisfied at the end of the meal. The menu changes seasonally. Do linger a bit and have a cup of coffee or tea after your meal, if for no other reason than to try the homemade chocolates, they're divine.
