Average food for higher than average price. We went to The Old Cottage early on a Sunday evening there were no roasts left. We were sat at a table in a dark dingy corner, ( there was space in the light airy dining room) We ordered a Burger and Cod and chips, the Cod was well cooked and the batter very light and crispy, triple cooked chips were soft on the outside and slimy on the inside, peas were hard cold and tasteless , I did express this to the wait staff when they made their courtesy call. Burger was ok but we were not asked how we wanted it cooked. The entrance outside from the car park was not very welcoming with broken barrels at the top of the steps. Although The Old Cottage is our nearest place to eat it would be the last place I would choose, other establishments that are further away offer a more pleasing ambiance and are better value for money.

Not through open table as they had no record of the reservation and no space for us. A complete waste of a journey and energy. First time out with new baby so extra disappointing. No response from open table when complaint was made!

My meal was ok but other diners in group had undercooked potatoes and green beans, cauliflower cheese which was like mush We had to send back and had hardly any cheese, tough lamb and scallops which looked like they hadn’t seen a pan. Second time here, first time they didn’t have a lot of things I wanted on the menu. Won’t be coming again unfortunately as it’s local . On the plus side, the staff were great.

The menu is good and prices reasonable. The location is excellent. There is a good choice of drinks and local ales. The disappointment was that dietary considerations were not adhered to probably from poor communication between the waiting staff and the kitchen in a busy Sunday like BCh service. The problem however was promptly corrected when pointed out and a new plate was brought in within 8 minutes. Food was good especially the steak but the chicken a little over cooked on this occasion. Would go back again.
