Old House Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Booked tonight on the recommendation of a friend. When I booked online I could see the last table for food was 845pm. It clearly stated that we would have the table till 2245. This appeared perfect as we wanted to celebrate qualifying as paramedics. We decided to arrive early at 2015 for pre drinks. When we were greeted by the barman we were immediately told kitchen closes at 9pm and there’s no lamb and only one steak left. My wife quipped that we must by getting the scaggs!

Good measures in place for safety. Team are very helpful and table service works really well. The drinks were served promptly and the menu, although small, had a good selection.

The food took a little while to arrive but understandable in these times. When it arrived it was worth the wait. My steak was cooked perfectly and the homemade onion rings were delicious. If I was going to criticise anything it would be that I would have liked a few more chips and onion rings.

All in all a...
