In March 2015, LN0691 said about The Crown, Hartest
A group of 10 of us came for dinner at the Crown and the food was brilliant. The young girl and lad that served us were the best in the place and they were the newest, happy and attentive and a real laugh.
We did, however, arrive and the table hadnt been reserved. This was despite 2 phone calls regarding the reservation. But none the less we were seated in the lovely restaurant.
We were then given the starters for our table and the table next to us, and the gap between starters and mains was very long (2 cigarette breaks long).
Sometimes things go wrong on an evening, and I understand that and despite this will definitely be back. The lovely staff and the atmosphere in the pub was a drawing factor for me. Perhaps the organisation needs sorting slightly?

In August 2020, lifebeginsatfifty said about The Secret Garden Cafe, Wine Bar & Restaurant
We have twice visited The Secret Garden now that the cafe has moved to Buzzards Hall next door. Very covid-safe and with tables spaced accordingly. We have eaten inside and outside, both very pleasant. The two and three course menus offered at lunch are the same as before the move and of very good quality. Just go, you won't be disappointed.

We have been regular diners for many years both at lunchtime and evenings and just love the ambience and atmosphere of 'Buzzards Hall' which is complimented by having such great staff.. Stefane's knowledge of wines to compliment your meal is exemplary, Alain and his Chef's cook fabulous home made food, they serve excellent coffee and tea (spoilt for choice!) with homemade pastries, cakes and daily seasonal specials. I can certainly recommend the cheese and herb scones!
In the evenings you have a choice of delicious French cuisine, the menu is changed regularly to embrace the seasonal vegetables and meat. All of their food is homemade including their jams and bread and they try to support local producers where possible. we love this place..
We have never been disappointed even though we are regulars, Sarah, Stefane, Alain and the staff make you feel so welcome and special, the food is always so lovely and it just makes us want to go back again and again - if you haven't been to this restaurant I really hope you try it..
I might just add that in this difficult time of Covid - we were worried about eating out and being in a closed environment - Stefane and Alain abide strictly by the rules - staff wear face coverings and they ask that until you are seated you wear a mask when passing other people - they take your details so that you can be contacted should the need arise. They are taking ours and their safety very seriously which installs a sense of having a safe place to go when you want to go out to eat.. we are so pleased Stefane and Alain managed to ride the storm and are back we missed you ...

the wonderful thing about the bulmer Fox is that one can take a group of people with different tastes and needs and they will all be catered for, the traditional meat and veg type, the burger type and the vegetarian alike. Even my other half, who has is a vegetarian by choice and needs to be gluten-free as he has coeliac disease has always been given a choice of dishes,that have been safe, delicious and imaginative. Highly recommended

Well cooked food. But to many rump beef meals on offer and not enough beer selection. Got lots of echo. Waitresses to eager to clear the table before each course is finished. But otherwise very nice. It will settle to a comfy pub and restaurant I'm sure.
