This restaurant had been recommended by family so we were eager to try it out, and wow is all I can say! The staff were really friendly, ensuring we were always catered for, as soon as our drinks were empty we were asked if we wanted another even though the restaurant was busy and fully booked. The wine was presented to us professionally each time. We visited on Sunday so it was the Sunday Lunch menu, and the food was on another level! There were several options, but you can get any 2 courses for £28 or 3 courses for £32, which we felt was a great deal considering the quality of the food was amazing. This restaurant also offers a vegan/vegetarian menu with plenty of choices meaning there is something for everyone! 2 of us opted for the two course and two opted for the three course. To start, we all had the ham scrumpet, (pulled ham in breadcrumbs, with a hollandaise like sauce and a runny poached egg on top). This was very tasty and the egg was cooked to perfection, not too runny and not too hard. For the mains, we ordered; the beef roast dinner, lamb roast dinner & the silver bream, prawn and salmon fishcake. The roast dinners were beautifully presented, the chef actually carves the meat in front of you at the table for you. The Yorkshire pudding which was probably the best Yorkshire pudding we’ve ever tasted, we think it had been cooked in beef dripping. The vegetables which consisted of greens, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and other roast veggies were placed on the tables in bowls so you could help yourself. The only minor thing that I could fault the dinner on was that you didn’t get much gravy, however I’m sure if we’d of asked for some more we would’ve been given some. For dessert we had the blackcurrant pavlova and the apple and cinnamon bread and butter pudding served with custard and ice cream. I would never normally opt for a bread and butter pudding but this dessert was so tasty! I loved that it had the apple and cinnamon flavouring to it as well. The pavlova was also very good, a light and refreshing to end the meal. Both of these desserts were also beautifully presented. Overall, everything about this place was fantastic, from the food to the service, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely...
Read moreWe decided to go here as a day out by sticking a pin in a map and finding somewhere close-by. There was plenty of parking but we found the entrance to the restaurant difficult to find and the signage was a bit confusing. It could do with some clearer landmarking outside. The result was a really nice meal in a fairly quiet restaurant in a location we'd never been to before. The restaurant was very nicely finished out, warm, light, and comfortable. Every part of the building is immaculate from the reception area through to the toilets. It was fairly quiet when we arrived for lunch but they later put a group of guys in the stall next to us, which increased the volume tremendously! We had the halloumi burger with chips (vegetarian menu), and fish and chips. The burger had a large chunk of halloumi in it, which was nice, although I prefer it a little more grilled than mine was. I thought the portion of chips was a little meagre, compared to the portion that came with the fish for the same price. And I would prefer my food to be served on a plate, not a chopping board. The fish and chips was generous: plenty of fish and plenty of chips. All were well cooked and the fish was properly boned. The tea and coffee were reasonably priced (£2.50 ea.), considering the main lunch courses were £18 each. Overall, it was a great experience (probably nicer for being off-season, I imagine it gets really busy when the tourists are out) in a lovely venue and actually probably about the...
Read moreOur experience at The Saddle Room has always been amazing. So much so that when it came to choosing our wedding venue, nowhere else even came close.
We hired the venue for the full weekend. On the Friday, our guests dined either in the restaurant or in the Hayloft, where we hosted a pre-wedding buffet. We’re so glad we chose this option and truly appreciated Rachel’s and Chloe’s guidance in planning the pre-wedding meal. It wasn’t something we’d originally thought about, but we’re so happy we went ahead with it!
The food was incredible — and I can confidently speak on behalf of all our guests who dined here throughout the weekend. We chose the lamb for our wedding breakfast meal, and it was genuinely the best we’ve ever had. We’ve heard (and continue to hear!) so many compliments about how wonderful the food was — but most importantly, about the staff, who went above and beyond all weekend.
Throughout the planning, Rachel was always there to guide us, answer every question, and make sure everything had been covered. She, alongside Chloe and Jess (who made the most wonderful wedding cake for us!) made the entire planning process a joy.
Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect. Our gratitude extends to the entire team across the estate. Many of our guests were local to The Saddle Room, and several had never visited before, but everyone was blown away by how beautiful this place is.
With love and thanks, Mr & Mrs...
