   After arriving at the restaurant we were shown a small table for 8, one side with a bench type seat which no way would fit 4 people on, so I had to ask for another chair. Ordered drinks, all food, then food and 2 of us were gluten free and I had also put that in my booking when I was called up to confirm. One dinner arrived fine and I asked if the crazy was all gluten free to which the server didn’t know, my dinner sat infront of me for over 10 mins getting cold. To which the gravy was gluten free. The other gf dinner arrived with a Yorkshire pudding on the plate, when I reminded them it was suppose to be gf, the server suggested that you can just take off the Yorkshire pudding. I was so shocked as allergies and intolerances should never be handled in such a careless way. We had booked this table over a year ago, yes the food flavours were nice, but the experience and service was shocking! I don’t expect to go to any restaurant and fear that the food is not taken seriously when I have a sever intolerance. Even when I said to the server, that’s not how it should be treated she just said “yeah yeah” over and over, no apology, nothing! I was utterly disappointed and outraged and felt unsafe if any of the food was even gf after that! I urge the staff to have more training around allergies and intolerances, maybe even with a sticker to remind servers as they deliver to the tables. Although a good server would remember their allergy clientele. I’m utterly disappointed as this was for my son’s birthday whilst he was home from university. We recommended it to our friends and honestly speaking we go to many high end restaurants as well as local restaurants and this was some of the poorest service I’ve ever had especially at this price point. Our pizza express has more attention to detail than what we had today :(

   Worth the hype and the wait! Made my reservation over 10 months ago and had been looking forward to the experience ever since. It didn’t disappoint, everything was simply superb. The meats were simply melt in the mouth delicious and the roast potatoes can’t be beaten. Can’t wait to return!

   For the price it was really good. Excellent options, especially the wines and desserts. Lovely ambience, very friendly staff. My wife ordered some cherry cocktail concoction, it was the nicest cocktail I think I’ve ever had. House lager was also really good. Definitely recommend

   To be honest I was slightly disappointed. We had the sharing roast for 4, whilst all meat was tasty and tender, there was no pink beef or leg of lamb. Lamb shoulder was delicious, chicken was ok. Only veg was red cabbage and carrots, and the Carrots were incredibly salty. They do a very good Bloody Mary. Overall, I’ve had better roasts elsewhere.

   Beautiful atmosphere but we feel this was due to Roger making our experience so much more comfortable. My mum was cold due to the velux window opening and Roger assisted asap and then families close by requested the same heaters. Roger was brilliant and very accommodating, he made the 11th month wait worth while to be honest. Really supportive of the pub and wanted to show us the al la cate menu. Will definitely return when Roger is working and not on a Sunday lunch menu xx

   Wasn’t blown away by this place but was tasty enough! When they say the steak comes with leaves, they literally mean a garnish so definitely order a side of two to go with it. Service was quite slow due to a large private party, we were offered a complimentary but would have been nice not to have been lied to about the reason being that our big steak took a long time to cook. Would possibly try again for a Sunday roast, as this is what they’re more famous for.

   Fabulous and attentive - unfortunately they had run out of Fremantle a DPD we asked for 2 small glasses of Prosecco instead but they gave and charged us for large ones. Not a problem but annoying.

    We always have a great time at Lore, the staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome even though they are rushing about they still take the time to talk to you, food is outstanding and the service is amazing, booked in for Sunday roast in June and December.
