As usual the atmosphere, service, standard of food and drink was excellent . We have never walked away from the restaurant with a bad word about any part of the experience. We always highly recommend you to anyone heading in your direction. Thanks again Kevan and Jackie

We had an amazing Sunday lunch. The food tasted amazing and arrived promptly. Portions were just right and desert was equally as good. The setting is perfect. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Food was great and staff were fantastic. Only criticism is I observed the chef using his hands to put food on plates. Not great when the kitchen is clearly on display from the bar.

Booked a table for 4, seated promptly and a waiter came over really quickly to take out drinks order. Food arrived in good time and we weren’t rushed to leave the table after we had finished.

We found the chicken to be very fake tasting.It was fatty , chewy substitute meat rather than real chicken . The food wasn’t hot. I wouldn’t go back because of these points.

We came to Grumpy's for my daughter's birthday, as always, the service was great from start to finish and Kerry brought out the Happy Birthday banner sign for my daughter, which is a nice touch. The food and milkshakes were yummy. And we enjoyed hearing about the challenges they do. My daughter enjoyed her birthday dinner very much - thankyou x

Honestly we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was great. We did wait around 50 minutes for our food but was definitely worth the wait

Visited on Sunday, booked our table for lunch with a friend, as always good food, friendly, polite staff. Went today by chance to shop in the garden centre and went to the Sugarvine for a pot of tea and sandwich with no booking but they were happy to accommodate even though on a Monday lunchtime they were full. I am amazed how people walk up expecting a table with no reservation, no-one was turned away even though it was full, no money around wasn't evident!! Staff are human, working to earn a living and some of the general public treat them so poorly, why can't we have a table, someone asked, why are we waiting, it's expensive. So are wages, food, fuel and everything that goes with running any business, if you can't afford it don't go, for the many there yesterday and today they clearly can. Book a table as requested but do treat the staff with respect.

Went for Sunday Lunch last weekend, and ordered the roast. My partner and I , both had roast turkey. You are able also to order extras, which is a nice touch, if your really hungry. The meals themselves are an adequate size. The service is amazing, all the staff are very attentive and really polite and helpful. There was just one thing, that was not good, the roast potatoes were hard, making them difficult to cut into, which did spoil the meal a bit. I'm hoping this was just a one off , as the rest of the food was very nice indeed.

The goats cheese pizza was so bad it was like a lump of rubber and the onions wasn’t caramelised

I often visit skylark on my walks, and grab a coffee or/and slice of cake ... Skylark is a lovely place and great atmosphere. On our last visit we came with friends for breakfast and all left very happy. The food was delicious, great quality and plenty of it. Some in our party had special dietary requirements, but that wasn't a problem at all. Fabulous place, great beer ( so I'm told) and friendly staff . Highly recommended. Oh and they love dogs too

Lunch with the GD. Had to wait for the RM to return but she was working at the cash desk inside on a busy Sat lunch service. Very friendly greeting. Had to ask for the Children's menu, I had the Quiche special. It was ok but a bit bland. Too many potatoes for me but tasty , small dressed salad which was ok. Good selection of drinks. Very busy but service was good and pleasant . Noisy as little to absorb the sound. Think I won't go for lunch again but at breakfast time it is great especially if you can sit outside.
