Although visiting due to having a voucher to use as gifted by a friend, visiting as a table of 6, we had heard good things about the huntsman before coming here. It's a deceivingly large place inside, with plenty of seating available. One caveat being...that the restaurant is currently only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and does require pre-booking.
We visited for it's renowned carvery and were not disappointed. All 6 of us had the 3 course meal, consisting of a varied selection of starters available, but the star of the show however was the main course. Upon finishing the starter, your table gets cleared, and led to the carvery area. A great selection of different meats (pork, beef and turkey), 3 different kinds of potatoes, vegetable options and all kinds of trimmings. The meat tenderness was out of this world, and all other parts of the dish were incredibly flavourful.
Service was great throughout, and leading onto the final dessert course, pretty much all of us just about managed to complete it! A sign of a good meal.
Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, or who happens to be passing by. If you've ever had another carvery and thought that was good, wait until you try this!More
