Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

If we could give this restaurant a 10 star, we would!.. With excellent customer service topped by a 10/10 bacon sandwich, the boys and I were very impressed by our overall visit to The Dining Room. With plenty of seating and space to accommodate our...bikes, this has to be our favourite place to stop with or without the bikes! We had a lovely brew with a unreal, surely homemade brownie which went down a treat! Lovely appearance, fresh signage, warm and friendly staff.. what more can you ask for.More

We had a lovely breakfast of bacon and sausage sandwiches. The staff were very welcoming. At first I was worried because it’s decorating so lovely inside but children are definitely welcome here.

Needing to break our trip north we turned off the A1 to this delightful town to find this lovely restaurant. We had a very pleasant lunch in the courtyard. The quiche with salad was very good.

We came across Chris and Lisa and their wonderful food during the lockdown period, when we started ordering from their "dine at home" menu. We've also enjoyed eating in the garden since things have opened up, but we are still regulars for the "dine at...home". Everything is freshly made, the fish dishes are fabulous and my wife counts the quiche pastry as the best she has tasted. All in all it's an absolute jewel, food is great, owners and staff are very friendly, we cannot recommend this place highly enough.More

The is breakfast and lunch venue now, as it does not open in the evening. The menu is expensive but the food is high quality, and wine is available by the glass. I am not personally keen on the decor inside but the garden area...is superb for outdoor dining. The garden is quite sheltered and there are plenty of canopies to protect you from the odd shower. Highly recommend for a delicious brunch or lunch.More

Arrived in the rain looking for coffee and cake. Owner banged on the window pointing and shouting not to lean the bike on wall. Tried to walk up ally out of rain rain to rear of building but a woman came came out shouting again....Told us that we were not allowed to come in with wet shoes as would ‘tear up the floor’. Best thing was a very approachable place a few doors down. Go there instead & avoid the miserable owners. I suspect that’s why the place was empty.More

We called into this welcoming restaurant on a miserable and wet mid week day, but were soon warmed up and enjoying one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The two waitresses were exceptionally pleasant and efficient. We were brought some...lovely home made bread and butter - I could have sat and eaten just that it was so tasty. Our three meals were served on hot plates (always a winner with me!) We had Sea Bass, Scampi and King prawns and oak roast salmon - and all were top notch and delicious. The tea came with hot water to top it up as we relaxed and had a wonderful lunch time. We shall be back, thank you.More
