Enjoyed the beef bourguignon but it was a bit too salty and could’ve done with more potato and veg as there was a lot of beef! Cleared my plate though! We were unable to finish off with a coffee for some reason, surely you can keep the coffee maker on for a while longer? Otherwise, I’m sure to be paying another visit soon, thank you!

Very good, as my husband is v deaf he really appreciates a quiet area when we go out. The hearing aids amplify ALL the sounds equally, making it unpleasant. Our brains filter out noise in a way we choose, and in a way hearing hearing aids do not, making background music painful. Quiet sections are needed, for a really pleasant experience. We were moved when we asked to change position from beneath the speaker, thanks.

Our waiter was unable to take a tip by card. No one carries cash any more so this is essential. The chocolate praline mouse didn't quite make the grade, more chocolate eclair than praline. A table of drinkers nearby was noisy. It would be good if they could be restricted to a non-dining section.

My wife and I have eaten here at least 5 times in the past year.....so we've obviously enjoyed our experiences. On this occasion we shared (again) the spicy cauliflower, which was delicious. For her main, my wife thoroughly enjoyed the mussels. The disappointment was my main. The cod was delicious, but the sauce was at best mediocre. A weak creamy sauce, composed of (what appeared to be) sliced bolied potato and tinned garden peas. We probably should have said something when our dishes were being collected (the hint was my sauce was hardly touched). We like the restaurant, staff and ambience and will return on the premise this was a poor choice, or an off day.

We very much enjoyed dinner at the Grange: the staff were friendly and efficient , the food was tasty and served piping hot and the atmosphere relaxed. My cod dish was excellent and my husband enjoyed fish and chips. The sticky toffee pudding was sweet and "treacly" and we also had delicious wine and beer. It was nice to see that children are welcome too.

A few things were missing from the menu even though we had an early table. We both had a main course - one was very minimal, beautifully arranged and delicious, the other was enormous and not as prettily arranged. One was too much to eat, the other was too little for a main course but very tasty. Pudding was very tasty and a perfect size! A good experience and we will definitely visit again.

We were disappointed to find that several items on the menu were unavailable, particularly since the waitress didn't mention it until she returned to take the order.

A positive experience. Good atmosphere and service. However, the menu was not large to begin with and had too many items unavailable on the occasion we visited even though it was early in the evening.

Excellent main course but poor sweet course. Good service and pleasant atmosphere (provided you manage to avoid the over-loud music).

Quite enjoyed the evening until the DJ started up. Music was too loud for normal conversation. We didn't ask for it to be turned down as others were maybe happy with it, so we left possibly earlier than planned.

We were only in for drinks, as always though staff were attentive, Covid Protocols clearly explained and ample availability if hand sanitizer. The toilet situation is a slight insomuch as people forgetting to switch the engaged sign to vacant which necessitated staff having to run downstairs to check as people were waiting to use the facilities.
