The Abbot’s House

For the price (£24 a head) this is an excellent, comfortable, high quality yet value for money restaurant. It was friendly, with very good service and a warm welcome, after being invited to sit in the comfy sofas in a room where Catherine of Aragon stabled her horses, or something like that, we moved into the dining room, which still had aspects of the 1500s to it (though not the cuisine or the service). The food was very good, and the lack of a la carted was not a problem as the five or six dishes for each course offered a very good variety of high quality, freshly prepared dishes. Starter, Main and Pudding were £28 and £24 was offered for two courses.
The food was contemporary, with a traditional twist! The portions were generous without being excessive, the quality very good and the service attentive and friendly. Very impressed, will go there again.
