Stellas Bistro — Restaurant in England

We have just had the most delightful evening in Stella's Bistro. What a find. Each course was better than the one preceding it and there was a good range of drinks to choose from. If you're really lucky, you'll have the company of the proprietor, Graeme. He was attentive without being intrusive, and gave generously of his knowledge and experience of the local area and beyond. The bistro is based within the Green View Guest House, a building of local historic interest and fabulous views, combined with a very affectionate reference to Stella, for whom it is named. The food (which is what we went for), was chosen from a select, seasonal menu, and cooked, by Arch, to perfection. Generous portions had us thinking we were unlikely to finish our meals.........but we did 😋. Oh to live near enough to go back.

Menu; starters; duck pate with toast, and potato and mushroom pave. Mains, both had rump of lamb with colcanon and a jus to die for (jus, not gravy 😉). Deserts; both had home made banana and toffee ice cream with a peanut butter cookie. Thankfully, we didn't have too far to roll home. Not open...

Fitted in last minute and what a experience. Convivial host who has the front room of the guest house set up for diners to enjoy a aperitif. It is food cooked to order and timed to balance the needs of each set of diners. The chicken liver pate was a delight in fact so generous the additional bread homemade by the way was needed. The mains were salmon and chuck steak. The steak was beautifully served with handcut chips and carrots. The salmon perfect cooked with a crust. Hugely enjoyable and very generous. Desert had to be shared and a wonderful lemon tart and chantilly cream. A great find whilst...

We ate here on a Saturday evening, a table for 4. The host took such good care of us, we started the evening in the lovely reception room where drinks were served and then progressed to the dining room. We were made to feel so welcome and the dining room is just lovely. The food was exceptional and one of the best dining experiences we have had for quite a while in the UK. If you're a foody, you'll love it. Great menu and good prices and large glasses of good and very reasonably priced wine. Do not hesitate to book this place, it's quirky, characterful and memorable. We loved it!...
