    Local food at its very best - a real celebration of the seasons. And terrific service. Oh, and the wines - to die for.

    We had dinner on Saturday evening and had a lovely time. From start to finish we absolutely enjoyed a very well prepared and presented menu. Everything was perfect. I would recommend visiting and we will return in the near future. Thank you.

    The quality of cooking and ingredients was outstanding and for the price much better value than a lot of high class restaurants.

    Best meal in years. Graham Garrett makes eating an experience to savour. He’s a culinary genius. Get there before he retires. Not to be missed

    We had another wonderful meal in the West House, it is always a great experience. The staff are all lovely and the food was delicious. Sadly we didn't like the dessert but that is personal preference, we just don't like rice pudding, the frozen yogurt and brandy snap were lovely. We'll be back!

    The food here is exceptional. We have had plenty of haute cuisine tasting menus in various michelin starred establishments and the food here compares very favourably. The wine pairings were also very good and well chosen. Thoroughly recommend.

    We absolutely loved our meal at The West House. The welcome was warm and felt genuine and we loved the informality. It felt like we were in someone’s home. All the food was fabulous. My favourites were the lobster, lamb and dessert, well everything really! The bread was divine and the amuse bouche with our cocktails. Would thoroughly recommend

    Oh my god! It was amazing! We’ve been a few times now and it blows our minds how delicious it is. From lobster to lamb to bass to caviar it was just scrumptious it was! Thank you again for a lovely meal!
