   A relaxed late afternoon/early-evening Sunday Christmas treat for four. Luckily they weren't too busy as we probably over stayed our welcome! Food first: There was a Sunday (Festive) Menu on, which didn't have too many options for mains, but didn't disappoint: Cauliflower soup, Salmon starters and the two roast dinners were excellent, and even the Fish and Chips were very good. Sizeable portions meant only one of the party could manage a dessert: Christmas Pudding with (I think) Creme Anglais was eagerly finished and described as "tasty: spicy with a good shot of booze". Nice selection of wines at reasonable prices: the women of the party had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which was described as "ooh, that's nice"! Lovely setting, nice comfy settees for drinks, friendly staff - attentive but not overbearing. In hindsight, if we were being very, very picky, the large-ish downstairs room was a tad on the cool side but it's probably fine if it's busier (we ate at a fairly odd time, about 4.30 on a Sunday afternoon). All in all, we'd definitely recommend and will certainly return.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch today. Our son had the burger which he declared to be one of the best he’d ever eaten. My husband and I enjoyed A traditional Sunday lunch, beef for me and pork for him. Cooked beautifully and complimented with great veg, cauliflower cheese, mash and Yorkshire pudding. The starters and desserts were stunning. The service was exceptional and the staff attentive and friendly. A great birthday treat

   It seems to be a trend in most places now to place all the food in a big pile in the centre of the plate leaving you to dismantle it all before you can start to eat. Leaving you know choice as to how much or what you want. This is not the case at the Merchants Yard. How nice it was to have your food beautifully presented on a wooden platter so you can serve yourself. The beef was perfectly cooked as were the vegetables. The staff were just delightful making sure we had everything we needed and checking that we were happy….We were 😊 We live locally and discuss eating places with many people. This we will be recommending for a fine roast dinner Keep up the good work MY.

   2 mains were good, but 2 were poor. The pork cutlet was tough and tasteless. Burger was dry. Have been to merchants yard several times before, but this visit was disappointing, below par and certainly not value for money. Advised staff about pork, but they just said would tell the kitchen. This meal was for a special occasion, so feel very let down.

    Service from beginning to end was fantastic. Meeting the chef was a nice touch and quality of food was outstanding.
