    If you want very good food and a reasonable wine list then here is your place. The food we all had last night was excellent, Turkey, the pie and the diet orientated venison scotch egg was beautifully crafted and beyond delicious. Unfortunately next to us were some very loud older gentleman which meant we sometimes ended up talking louder to hear ourselves. Nobody’s fault just luck. They had a good time as well. Bless but Winter, spring or summer the Kites a great place to go.

    The Fox is an a la carte restaurant in the evenings. We didn’t realise and there wasn’t too much for my friend to eat. The waiting staff asked the manager if we could order off of the lunchtime menu, which she did. The food was delicious, especially the Hispi cabbage and the chocolate mousse dessert! It was busy but well staffed so service was adequate. The ambience was also lovely. Would thoroughly recommend

    The dining is nicely set out but in mid-December lunchtime was positively cold. The service was welcoming and friendly . The food was excellent if a little limited if you don't like pizza. The wait for the food was unacceptable at lunchtime with only I think five tables occupied.
