The Maynard

Excellent service, excellent food 5*

The best feature was the ambiance and decor of the new bar and restaurant. The attentiveness of the staff was first class. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. We were a party of six and almost all chose something different. The food was well presented and hot but we felt that some dishes were trying to be a little bit too fancy. The shepherds pie was disappointing in that it contained a large amount of fat and very little meat. The polenta chips with the monk tail were soggy. The curry contained a large amount of French beans. The sweets were all agreeable but rather expensive. General comments after the meal were that it could have been much better. I hope that this is a positive set of comments because overall we felt it was a very nice place to socialise. I will recommend this to other people.

Fabulous gluten free meals or should I say meals that happen to be gluten free. Beautifully cooked and presented. Starters, main course and dessert had choices for gluten free,lovely. Friendly staff. Have to give a gold star for the cauliflower cheese And the sabayon too, oh well all of it.
