Walnut

this was the best time in terms of service I've ever had the servive staff were excellent very chatty and friendly and delighted to help the food was also good(not as good as the service alas) but still very enjoyable. i had Roast Pheasant(it was a whole pheasant) with game chips(like ridged crips fried in game fat) with a bread sauce and for desert i had apple tartin with vanilla ice cream which was good, overall a very enjoyable evening. would go there again and recomend to friends and family

I stumbled upon this restaurant with my father whilst he was visiting from overseas. We shared a starter of gravalax that was delicious, served with wonderful home made bread. I chose lamb for my main dish and my father had duck. The lamb was too undercooked for my liking - I was not asked how I wanted it but I didn't want to make a fuss and upset my dad. We ordered side dishes of potato and parsnips which I found over salted. In fact I found all the food to be over salted and it ruined the taste for me. My dad likes salt so it didn't bother him. I wanted to try their chocolate ice cream for dessert but they had run out so I had another flavour (have forgotten which one) which was good. Overall, I thought the food was ok, but nothing special and it was definitely over salted for my taste.

I made a booking with Walnut Restaurant, but I never had a chance to appreciate the food because of the appalling way they treated my reservation. Not only did they accept the booking knowing that the restaurant will be closed, but they also got my name and contact number wrong. They claimed that the attempt to contact me had been made, which I highly doubt since the explanation given by the owner contradicted the one given by the waitress.

I received an apology from the owner. The whole experience left a nasty taste in the mouth. To be honest I personally think that for a restaurant of that level the mistake is simply too severe.

Fabulous Restaurant. I live locally and regularly eat at the Walnut - it is my favourite restaurant in the area, with a fantastic selection of starters and mains, not to mention the delicious desserts.

On my last visit I had scallops to start(which I always have because they are cooked to perfection) and then the lamb shank and mash, which melted in the mouth. I always find the food to be exceptional with very knowledgeable staff who are always on hand to help if needed.

I would highly recommend this restaurant and the bread and butter ice-cream - incredible! I like the fact that whatever you choose, you know you won't be dissapointed.
