   This was a casual lunch with my Dad and my partner. We were seated between a bunch of other diners but thankfully no kids in our area. Service was quick and attentive. Food took about 15-20 minutes to arrive but that was expected on a Sunday lunchtime. My order of scallops, black pudding and mushy peas were nice but the peas really did seem to be tinned. Dad's burger was cooked well and nicely presented but again, seemed to be mass-produced. Same for the HYunters Chicken my partner ordered - it wasn't anything special but tasted fine and was nicely presented. The puddings were in a different class. We all ordered mini-puddings but they semed to be normal size. Eton Mess was gorgeous, brownie with ice cream was very good and the crumble was crisp and fruity with lovely custard. The espresso coffees were a little bitter but piping hot. Suggest that a small liqueur is offered with these mini-puddings, as we have had that combination in France and it was a good way to round off a meal. I was a little disappointed that The Windhover has become a chain restaurant, something like a classy Harvester. The menu a few years ago was much more bespoke... A very pleasant lunch, overall but I'm not sure I'll be rushing back.

   We booked here for Valentines Day, and even though the restaurant was packed - we had a very nice meal, and very good service. Many thanks!

   Service was great and the food was delicious, it’s very pleasing when you take 7 people to a place and the bill is under £120, which surprised me as it was my turn to pay,

    A warm welcome and cosy surroundings. The service was very friendly and the food was really tasty with good portion sizes, without being overwhelming on the plate. Definitely one to visit again.
