The Cottage Restaurant

I booked this restaurant for my wife’s 30th as every time we go the food has always been delicious and excellent value for money! But I must say the staff were on point with the task of serving 30 meals almost simultaneously and making sure everyone had their order, everyone was happy with their meal and said how it was cooked perfectly. They should be very proud of themselves! I would highly recommend this little piece of Italy for just a night out or a big occasion :). Really big well done and thank you again!

I've been here in person once and ordered a takeaway a couple of times. Had a nice experience in person there and the takeaway always arrives very quickly, it seems. I've not been disappointed by the food, particularly as a coeliac. A lot of the pasta dishes are available gluten free which is awesome. The only issue I had was one time when getting a delivery, I ordered myself a gluten free dish and my friend ordered a gluten dish. They weren't labelled as GF or not. Luckily the dishes were distinct enough to figure out which was which. Edited a few months later: I'd still recommend this place to people but I definitely think they should be better about labelling GF items. It says GF pasta is available on the menu but doesn't state, for example, that the meatball pasta dish isn't GF because of the meatballs. They sent a gluten pasta dish to me yesterday and it was rectified but they sent along a (presumably) gluten dessert as an apology. The only reason I knew it was a gluten dish is because they always use GF penne and it wasn't penne. I don't know if the dessert they sent is gluten free because the menu isn't labelled. I probably won't order from here again and it honestly is great food, so it's a shame. I think, however, some of these things would be less stressful when eating at the restaurant, because you can ask the staff.

The saying is don't judge a book by its cover and this definitely applies to The Cottage. Once inside you are greeted by friendly staff and the food is amazing. Very reasonably priced, good value. We had the bottle of house wine which was a lovely pinot grigio. Would highly recommend this lovely little Italian 😊
