I stumbled upon the Grazing Rooms on Instagram and being a big foodie, couldn't resist booking a table after seeing they had lobster on their specials! My husband, son and I headed down for an earlier (5pm) dinner which was perfect timing. The restaurant was quieter than a usual 7pm dining service (it got really busy as we were leaving), ideal for us to enjoy the food before our son got too tired. We were greeted by the most attentive, kind and professional staff who gave us a bit of history about the restaurant, the farm shop on site and how it's recently been refurbished. The restaurant itself is beautiful and you can see a lot of time and effort has been put in. We also had the pleasure of meeting the Executive Chef Sean, who recommended a few of his favourite dishes, but also gave us a good overview of the whole menu. I couldn't believe how much was being offered gluten and dairy free! Food-wise, we had the honey mustard pigs in blankets (fighting over who go the last one!!), followed by the best scotch egg I think I’ve ever eaten. A light crispy coating (GF), tender venison meat inside, wrapped around a perfectly cooked egg with oozing yolk. The stars of the show though, came as our main course. As part of their Valentines Special (but hopefully making a permanent addition to the menu soon!) we shared a medium rare chateaubriand, and a whole lobster, both cooked in a garlic butter and served on crispy fries. The steak was juicy and tender with every slice, and the lobster was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. Sean and his team know exactly what they’re doing!! On the side we had tenderstem broccoli topped with sweet, crunchy almonds and a harissa mayo, plus a portion of Parmesan truffle fries. I’m not usually a fan of truffle but these were so well balanced we polished off the lot. Finally, and genuinely I have no idea how I managed it, I couldn’t help but order the chocolate brownie. It normally comes with chocolate sorbet but I switched out for vanilla ice cream. It had the gooiest middle with crispy, crunchy edges, unreal! AND GF too! Not that you’d ever know! The perfect meal, within a beautiful setting, I can’t fault a thing. I urge you to make a reservation and try this place out for yourselves, you will not regret it! We’ve already got our next 2 bookings made and can't wait to try out their roast dinners!!

Me and my girlfriend went here for our anniversary, as soon as we walked in we were greeted with friendly faces and live music, they atmosphere was lovely and the food was incredible, the option to pick your meat from the butchers is really unique and the meat was incredible, thank you!
