Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently single out the mains, from the pork belly and lamb described as blowing one table away to scallops called cooked to perfection and mussels in Thai green sauce with just the right heat. The calamari draws praise too, with one regular wishing the portion were larger, and the mushroom pasta with its garlic topping gets called light and delicious. Desserts come up repeatedly, from sticky toffee pudding and Cow Molly ice cream to a lemon cheesecake with chocolate orange ice cream and meringue. Service is described as good, exceptional, or relaxed even when a party arrived late, and one wedding used the restaurant for catering, calling the team responsive and the food a hit with guests. A few notes of caution recur: prices are called on the higher end or slightly overpriced for what is described as unpretentious home style cooking, and one reviewer found the vegetarian options disappointing. Several reviewers mention returning or having already booked their next visit.

“Here for a late, late Sunday lunch and our table of four was the only people there. Two roast meat and two veggie meals. All good. With some cauliflower cheese and crispy kale sides. Our Cow Molly ice cream and a sticky toffee pudding rounded the meal off.”
- Jane Ripley
“A real gem. We visited the other day and I had the mushroom pasta which was so light and delicious. The garlic topping packed a punch of flavour, Lovely. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend.”
- Anastasia
“One of the best meals I've ever had! We went for a lobster special on a Tuesday. Service was good and we got served very quickly. Every bite was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend for a special occasion. The price was on a higher end, although expected for such a great combination of seafood.”

“Food, atmosphere and service all outstanding. We enjoyed our delicious (early) three-course Christmas dinner very much. Highly recommend.”

“Turnip & Thyme provided our catering for our wedding in May. The food was exactly what we wanted and tasted amazing. They were responsive and helpful while preparing for the day and surpassed our expectations. Everyone commented on how …”
