Lewtrenchard Manor

We visited the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary when on a trip to the area recently. The person who took our booking was really warm and friendly, noted that it was our anniversary and led us to expect that we were going to have a...really special experience. This was not to be.

A very good lunch to celebrate our 49th anniversary in these difficult times. Service was excellent, although we were not checked on as often as we would have expected and the food did not ‘wow’ as much as usual.
