Restaurants in Claydon

4 of us had lovely food here & great cocktails. Background music too loud imo but wouldn't stop me going back.

The young lady waitress greeted us and gave us a choice of table. We received the menus straight away and it was not long before the drinks were delivered. The lack of mocktails was disappointing but the glass Fiano Carlomagna was a delight. It is very unusual to get such a good wine by the glass. It was a pity that the red, a Nero d'Avila from Sicily subsequently proved such a disappointment. A better red from Sicily needs to be sourced if the standard represented by the white is to be maintained. The combination of ingredients and the excellent cooking made for superb food and cannot be more highly recommended, it was so good. I have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants, and these courses were up there. Unusually for us, we each had a sweet course and the Chocolate Mousse with a very unusual Bay Cream was quite excellent. Disappointingly, the sweet wine I requested to go with the Birnham Blue did not arrive because the barman could not find the bottle. Perhaps he needs some training.

Absolutely lovely, so cosy and the food was great. The bar side was a little busier but the dining side was quiet and relaxing. Would definitely eat here again. All staff were wonderful.

We went on Mother’s Day and had a very nice meal, the service was amazing and the staff were brilliant.
