This place seems to have a bit of an identity problem. Pubbers can't relax with all the white tablecloths and silverware laid out on the tables. And at the same time it doesn't seem to offer diners much either, because all those tables were empty on my last visit (at 8.30pm on a Friday night). Go back to being a pub!

Less a pub, more a very, very good restaurant. Don't come here unless it's for the food (but you really should come for the food).

A splendid family lunch here on 04/03/07. Staff very friendly and a relaxed atmosphere throughout. Background music was soft and unobtrusive on our visit. The establishment seemed to be doing a roaring trade Sunday lunchtime.

A full, varied menu caters for all tastes; creative and imaginative variations on many popular dishes featured. I illustrate this with the excellent sea bream and ratatouille that I enjoyed alongside the battered whiting devoured by my sister-in-law. The onion Tarte Tatin made for an appetising starter. Other specialities were a fine roast beef with all the trimmings not to mention scrumptious desserts.

A good wine list and one or two well-known lagers on draught. The real-ale drinker is not forgotten, however, with Adnams Bitter in superb form.

First-time visitors to the House should be aware that the establishment is primarily a restaurant, (Drinkers-only are accommodated outsied and at some limited indoor sofa seating). You are therefore advised to book beforehand as it appears to be very popular indeed. You will not be disappointed - we certainly weren't!

Fabulous place - amazing food, delightful staff (the sommellier in particular is very knowledgable), and all round one of my favourite restaraunts. Not cheap though - but have never been disappointed all the times I've eaten here. Definetly more of an eating place, than a bar. Average meal for two with wine is around 70 quid, but well worth it.
