The Lickfold Inn

Lovely cosy restaurant. Excellent service and innovative food. Much much more than a country dining experience

Exquisite tasting menu and excellent service. An all round perfect dining experience.

The service was excellent, as was the presentation. The food was lovely, however, although I liked the dry texture of the halibut, my husband was less positive.

The portions were good; the dishes well- balanced.

We had gone early as our son has been critically ill and we weren’t sure how he’d cope; because we were early there were rather too many very well- meaning waiters hovering. Understandable.

We love it there.

Beautiful interior, great food and fab service!

Absolutely wonderful food beautifully cooked and delightfully presented. Gorgeous decor.
Attentive staff.

Lovely inn with excellent food. Service is also polite and efficient with explanations of each dish as it is served. Tables well spaced so conversation is private. No intrusive background music. Highly recommend the steak tartare. Quiet and refined atmosphere.

Big disappointment based on reviews. Place lacking in atmosphere and flickering light bulbs and chipped crockery wasn’t really very good.

Food was tasty but nothing to write home about unfortunately and long way short of standard I was expecting. Not sure how Michelin stars can be talked about for this place. Wild Mushroom consomme was poured on garlic mayonnaise which immediately split leaving an unpleasant sight. Waiter attempted to remind us what was on the plate at each course but stumbled, incorrectly identifying various accompaniments. Herb crusted cod was very small, both of us left wondering what an earth happened to the rest of the fish! Passed on deserts as a result. On leaving we asked for our coats and was just pointed to the stairs and told we could them downstairs. Would not recommend, far better places in the area.

I booked on line then phoned 2 days before to check it was OK to bring a small birthday cake. On the special evening I was asked to leave the table and was quietly told there would be a charge of £6 per person for the cake. I refused on the basis that I was not told this when I telephoned. They then put £4 per person on the bill without telling me first. I refused again and paid the correct amount including the high 12.5% service charge. Though the food was excellent, the atmosphere was anything but. The waiter was obviously upset and made it obvious by his attitude. At this price I shall not be going again until there is a change in customer attitude.

Excellent

Amazing food. Incredible dining experience. Superb waiter who was extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the dishes and make recommendations.
