Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast comes up again and again as the highlight, with diners describing plates piled high with beef, vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Close behind, the weekend escape two-course menu draws praise, with squid starters and generously portioned mains, and the roast chicken with a pint gets singled out for value. Also mentioned favorably are the crab and scallop pappardelle and onion rings that arrived within minutes of ordering. Service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, with several diners crediting specific waitstaff for going above and beyond to accommodate order changes. One reviewer, however, found the tiramisu a "soggy mess" made with a coffee pot rather than traditional preparation, and said they wouldn't order it again. Another noted it can get "a bit loud" inside, and one visit found the soup starter unavailable. Several reviewers mention booking ahead for busy evenings, and diners note the bar area is dog friendly.

“Visited for Sunday lunch. Food was delicious. Our plates were piled high with perfectly cooked beef, vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. We ate in the bar area as it is dog friendly. It's extremely comfortable and we were very well looked after. Thank you for an excellent meal and your warm hospitality.”

“Lovely family meal yesterday at The Cromwell Cottage. I especially wanted to mention Katya who looked after us while we were there. Nothing was too much trouble for her and despite us making several changes to our order everything arrived correctly and at the same time. Shoutout to the kitchen staff for getting everything sorted too. Even an extra portion of onion rings only took 2 minutes to arrive. The restaurant itself is lovely and seating very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.”

“We took my eldest son out for dinner as he was visiting us, the staff there are always very nice and attentive, our waitress Gabriella was particularly good. Our food was delicious, with the one exception of my dessert, the tiramisu was pretty awful, please change this, adding black coffee via a pot on the plate to a sponge cake isn’t tiramisu, it was a soggy mess to be honest, I absolutely wouldn’t have it again. Please put a traditional tiramisu on the menu. Otherwise a very good evening with an excellent discount offer via email which I used without any issues.”
