    The food at the Marquis of Lorne was a surprise. I knew it would be good, I didn’t realise it would be that good. There were intelligent and creative vegetarian options - the Jerusalem artichoke, mushroom and gruyere pie was a standout. And how did they get potato cakes to do that? I’d go back just for those. The blue cheese gnocchi was delicious AND gluten free. There’s the usual steak or fish option (would appreciate if there was another option rather than just peppercorn) and a version of burger and chips. Staff are cheerful and personable. Sitting in front of the fire at the Marquis of Lorne amongst a buzzing happy crowd on a cold night is a great way to spent an evening.

    Well worth the trip for one of the best porterhouse steaks I've tasted. Wines were pretty good as well. The Dr Fugazzi Shiraz was a novel and pleasurable experience. Would go back.
