Beautiful food. Excellent pairing and a varied menu with no two dishes being similar. Great service, nice setting and the best food within 15 miles of Ripey! Truly a lovely experience and setting to enjoy beautiful flavours and wine.

We had a large party and they were very accommodating, good service and the Sunday roast was on point the beef was not dry and all and the dessert were the icing on the cake

The most amazing surprise. Loved the food. Loved the service. Loved the beer garden.

Great place to eat, excellent choice & we'll cooked, we'll presented food.

Went to the schoolhouse for an evening meal on our anniversary. On arrival there was a hand despenser and a shield across the bar. The staff were clearly social distancing and the tables had been moved to accomodate this. The service and the food was very tasty and well presented as always. We had the superfood salad, lamb burger and sharing platter to start. As always a great experience.

Nice main courses, service got a bit slow when they were busy, but a pleasant experience overall.

First visit and very impressed - great Sunday Lunch, really tasty, good portions and all with a bit of care and attention to detail thrown in! Will absolutely be returning to try out the evening menu.

Food was tasty but there are several issues. First items in the dish that aren't mentioned. I hate pomegranate and my starter of lamb kofta was covered in them. Having to carefully remove them started things off badly. The second issue was the portion size for £7 I got a single kofta the size of my thumb. Onto the mains. My crispy pork was really good. My family had the two steak option. The chips it came with where heavily salted when they arrived. Not wanting salt on them I then had to go and find someone to complain to. When the new chips arrived the waitress said she'd need to take the others and see if they can remove the charge which was in my view just poor service. Desserts were great. Staff seem clueless. Asked one girl what pie of the day was, told one thing and ten minutes later told its different. Ordered beef brisket originally and ten minutes later staff returned to say it was off the menu ( which is already rather small). Asked what sides came with the steaks (in an offer they ran) and was told wine. Reworded the question several times and the young girl just seemed confused. Never came to check whether food was ok or if we'd like more drinks. Chef is clearly good but sadly everything else , service, prices, experience is poor.

Cosy atmosphere and great service in a former schoolhouse. Tasty freshly cooked food. The prawns pil pil were large and juicy, very nice. The vegetarian mushroom gnocchi had so many different variety of mushrooms in it. I would like to see more vegetarian options for mains though. Good selection of drinks. Very friendly staff. Would recommended.

Excellent restaurant. Polite and helpful staff. Excellent gluten free menu. Really good find.

Poor…menu is limited. The staff are all lovely but inexperienced. We have eaten at this establishment previously and had been very disappointed on that occasion. In our opinion things have not improved, we both chose the crab linguini, we expected it to be fresh tasting creamy and light, it was the total opposite, gloopy and dry with ‘crunch’ the chef seems to add pancetta to every meal! This gave the impression that we were crunching through crab shells! Not a nice experience. We felt the quality of the crab to be poor, so much so, my partner suffered gastrointestinal symptoms for the rest of the evening! We will not be eating here again.

We were booked for bottomless brunch to celebrate a birthday. We chose 3 different jugs of cocktails (which we were advised were easier for staff to do rather than individual drinks) and were told we were only able to have refills once all cocktail jugs were empty despite all not drinking or liking all the same drinks. This meant that some of our group had to wait for others to finish before they could have a further drink. The food was very tasty but fairly small portions. Luckily we added chips to our orders. Asked for an item off the menu which I was told was not part of the options available. Had to point it out to the staff in order to not have to pay extra. In all the staff were lovely but did not seem very knowledgeable about what was actually available and there was little flexibility about things. For example, we asked if we could have desert, acknowledging we would have to pay extra, but were told that they didn’t think we could (unsure if this was because they did not have enough to cater for extra requests or because it was not included on the specific menu). Eventually we were given the choice of 2 ice-cream sundaes. I appreciate it seems to be a new menu/ experience but considering the cost per person (we were a party of 9) it was fairly disappointing.

What a wonderful place. We enjoyed a fabulous meal in great surroundings. The schoolhouse has really eclectic decor with some great artwork. The staff were attentive without being over the top. There was a good selection across the menu. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were impressed with the prices for the quality of the food. Highly recommend and will be back. Thank you and keep up the good work!

We had been a few times for Sunday lunch which had always been great, so decided to book a meal for a group of 30 for my husbands 30th birthday celebration. We all had a great night and everyone complimented how lovely the food was. The staff were also great and very attentive throughout the night, and everything ran smoothly so we were all able to have a relaxed evening with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back soon, and will bare you in mind for any future large bookings too, would definitely recommend 😊 Thanks again!

A group of 19 ladies visiting for bottomless brunch. Amazing food and plenty of it. Great atmosphere, very cosy. Definitely worth a visit good value for money . Highly recommend

An absolute hidden gem! Have passed this place countless times and never had thought to have a vist, but wow so glad I did. We went on a sunday and it was 3 courses for £22, the roast dinner was absolutely spot on. All 3 courses were superb! The girls who served us were so lovely, will definitely be back!!!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, which was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and with lots of fresh veg. Staff were efficient and friendly. The place was clean and quirky. We'll definitely be back. Very pleased with our find!

Wonderful dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Friendly welcome as soon as we walked in and staff were smiling, helpful and efficient throughout. Food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully (husband said it was the best steak he's had in a long time), and very good value too considering the high quality. Lovely characterful place too, loved the decor. Would absolutely recommend, and visit again! Thank you team for a fab evening.

Amazing every time. Really love this place for both dining in and for take away. The garden is lovely too.

Had a beautiful Christmas dinner here today ! The presentation of the food and the food itself was outstanding .the service was excellent - thank you ‘ I would highly recommend.

A really nice restaurant, the food was great, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good. Definitely coming back (Already booked for our return in 4 weeks!)

My wife and I visited this establishment for a meal recently, and unfortunately I have to give them 1 star as that is the lowest that is allowed. The food was OK nothing special, the room was freezing, the red wine was freezing 🥶, As we needed to wait for our taxi , just after 9.0pm we asked if we could have another drink while we waited for the taxi, but they said no as they had shut the till down😏. It was a disappointing experience!!!! As we had been looking forward to this evening for a few weeks. What a strange response, not what would be expected from a professional restaurant owner, and it would appear that you are actually saying that I have stolen from you, this disgusting / serious accusations and I would like you to take it as far as you can, as my wife and I took nothing from your establishment, except disappointment 😞

Absolutely amazing place! Just had three course meal with my family the food was beyond perfect. The set up inside brilliant and I haven't seen such a beautiful garden in a very long time. Just PERFECT x

Lovely people, great indoor and outdoor space, decent food even when they're busy. They put real effort into their events and I genuinely cant knock a thing, except maybe the price, it's not so good if you're short on pennies. Definitely worth it if you can though!

Large party for Sunday lunch, all had 3 courses and drinks. Felt incredibly welcome in this cozy, friendly environment. Service was fantastic, food was outstanding. Could not recommend this place more. Do not pass up the opportunity for this fantastic experience.
