Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Thorpe Waterville

Good local beer, Attentive staff and tasty homemade pies

Our first Christmas Lunch of the season, and as always the Red Lion chefs worked their magic and provided us with an outstanding Christmas Lunch, which we highly recommend. Ashley and Harry served us well at the table.

We love eating at the White Swan. The food is delicious and there is always something new on the menu to try. We’ e never been disappointed.

Food quality was fantastic. Menu choice was good. Some dishes felt expensive for what they were eg. Bread and olives. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a shame that we were asked to give up our table for the next booking and had no where else to sit and have a drink and continue our evening. I appreciate that you need to use the table but it seems to go against the ethos of tapas dining which is usually to spend a lazy evening of eating, drinking and socialising. This felt like more of a ‘fast food’ culture.

This venue is excellent, there were 3 of us. We had the lamb, trout and shepherds pie all cooked to perfection. The only downfall was the wait which was nearly an hour. Which was the reason for losing one star. We didn’t have starters but did order coffees and because we were chatting it was a while before we realised how long we had waited. However it was worth the wait.
