A “great location” – an “interesting renovation” of an Elizabethan mansion – contributes to the atmosphere of this Otter Valley outpost of the trendy Pig empire. Increased reports this year of rather “average” cooking (“unmemorable apart from the price”, ouch), though fans insist that, albeit “slightly hit-and-miss”, it’s “generally hit”.

“Great food, lovely location, a dream of a kitchen garden” is the generally agreed verdict on this Otter Valley outpost of the boho-styled Pig hotel group, in a handsome Elizabethan mansion with a panelled dining room. There’s an “interesting focus on local produce”, including “lots of nicely cooked veg” from the kitchen garden.

Like its Pig siblings, this Otter Valley outpost enjoys a “lovely location” with shabby-chic furniture par for the course, and a nice kitchen garden to potter around in. Even its least enthusiastic supporters – who say the food is “not exceptional” – feel it’s somewhere between “great” and “quite safe”.

“Have fun pottering around the kitchen garden” at the Pig group’s “lovely”-looking Otter Valley outpost, where “you can relax and enjoy provided you’re not seated on a wobbly chair – they do like shabby chic!”. Even fans concede the culinary performance is “a bit patchy” (sometimes all in one day) and while a good proportion of meals are “cracking” some do fall short: “what’s the point of going on about air miles when the food is this bland and expensive!?”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
