Garden House

The setting is absolutely stunning, right on the river. The service wasn't great - took a while to take our order and was hard to get the attention of staff for another round of drinks or the bill. The biggest issue was the lack of gluten free options. Staff helpfully brought out a matrix of allergies info but, for example, the steak came with chips but the chips weren't gluten free as they're cooked in the same fryer as other foods with gluten in. So, we asked if there was another option to swap the chips for maybe boiled potatoes or some other veg. We were just given the option of ordering a side salad meaning the steak alone would cost £36 with no alternative for the chips. Generally we found gf options were few and staff didn't seem overly accommodating which is often our experience at 'nicer' restaurants compared to village pubs. Had we not been with friends, we would have left and found somewhere else. Would return for drinks but not for food.

Very welcoming and Josip was fantastic and the perfect host, he understood and helped with all my dietary needs, gluten and dairy free and was just lovely, thank you 😃
