"I took my mother here to celebrate her 90th birthday. What an exceptionally wonderful restaurant and located near Peterborough of all things. This is a Michelin level restaurant and for a reason. Their menu is exceptional. Location is a beautiful old thatched building and easy to get to.
Staff were professional and efficient. Highly recommend this fine restaurant."

"“Hidden Gem
I stumbled upon this place through a simple Google search and wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be exceptional. We opted for the 2-course lunch, and every detail impressed us. The amuse-bouche was delightful, setting the tone for the meal. I chose the duck as my main course, and it was not only delicious but also generously portioned.
If you find yourself near Oundle or Elton, this is definitely a spot worth stopping at for a memorable lunch. Highly recommended!”"
