My wife and I met my brother and his partner last night at the restaurant for a meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed all the three courses that we had. I did expect it to be good, as I have eaten chef Ryan Blackburns food several times while he was at The Cottage in the Woods in Cumbria, however it was much better than good. The restaurant is smallish, but on the plus side you get personal service, on the negative, you will need to book well in advance to get a table. William Wordsworth had a desk in part of the restaurant. It is fine dining in a relaxed envirement. His menu is small, but it changes with availability of fresh seasonal food. Ryan's brother works in the restaurant with other servers and all are very friendly and helpful, explaining the dishes and answering any questions.It is a bit of a drive for us from Braithwaite, but we cannot wait to go back.
