The Crannog

I was wary of going back to the Crannog. After the old River House changed hands it really went downhill. However, we heard that the management had changed again so we decided to give it another go! As always, a fantastic setting, with views out over the small pond. It was very quiet when we arrived and we were nervous that it was going to be bad. Waiting staff were polite and attentive and we were seated and given drinks immediately. The menu looked reasonably good. We ordered some pasta dishes -prawn linguini and spaghetti carbonara. They arrived in good time and tasted delicious!! After, we shared some sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, also delicious! Bathrooms were reasonably clean although looked like they could do with a periodic deep clean. The manager from Northern Ireland was very friendly. All in all a great experience and we would definitely go back again! Well done.

Came here for Mothers day and we loved it! I even got a little gift with lots of little goodies in it which I thought this was a really nice touch. Service was excellent, staff were very friendly and the restaurant was really busy which created a great atmosphere. Food was lovely and portions were a good size. My son and his girlfriend have enquired about this venue for their wedding next year as it is such a lovely setting. We had previously been to the restaurant a couple of years ago and it had went down hill, but we decided to try it again when they had their Mother's Day offer on. I can say it has improved massively and we will definitely be back.
