Being fairly local we have visited the restaurant @ Brent Knoll Lodge quite a few times. The quality of food was fairly good but our last visit failed to impress. Prices have gone up (I can understand that at the moment) but food quantity and quality have gone down
Service was indifferent with some cider being spilt by the barmen / waiter onto our table and onto some clothes. Any real apologies, no, just a mucky beer cloth to wipe the table.
Perhaps they are reliant upon trade from the Lodge but never forget that local trade is important, they are there long after visitors have departed
