We ate and stayed at Farlam Hall. The tasting menu at Cedar Tree overall was good. Breaking it down the set of three paired snacks were delicious and really set us up for the mains. However the duck was average, the scallops were poor, the 2xgame terrine was ok but the two sauces served with it just didnt work and the liver parfait sandwich was out of place and unneccesary. The sorbet/granita was beautiful and the main dessert and petit fours were fine. Overall I would say that the food was just below average for a 1 starred restaurant. Service was mixed. The sommelier (Bulgarian lady) was superb and clearly well trained. The rest of the staff however whilst very pleasant were below par - spilled sauces whilst serving, dishes brought to the wrong tables and when our scallops were served there were no scallops in the dish!! Staff realised this after a few minutes and whilst we were hunting madly through the sauce for signs of a scallop..!! To be fair it was rectified promptly and provided a comedic moment for all but this is a 1 star restaurant. Also whilst staying in our room we could clearly hear from our bathroom two chefs outside yelling at each other outside the kitchen in the yard for about ten minutes using some pretty extreme language. The way the senior chef was speaking to his subordinate was frankly appaling and extremely unprofessional. We learnt later on that Hrishi was not working that eveningā¦. Would we return? Probably not and I think Hrishi needs to sort these issues outā¦thereās too much competition in the area to ignore them.

Some of the taster menu was amazing. The presentation excellent. The staff superb. The toilets immaculate. The value for money second to none. And for all those reasons you should go. But I am picky. Some was so so. The filo pastry with goats cheese and beetroot should be lush with flavour but ended up tasting of salt and was bland. Others just were, well, nice. The decor is 90s tired. Which is fine but for a taster experience, food, lighting, atmosphere, smells all contribute to that. It's just not quite there. Almost but not quite. The dead dried flowers should be binned as it's not in keeping with a classy place but more an 80s feel. For the covers they are probably one staff member short. So that napkins can be folded when a customer goes for a wee, and water topped up. Instead two great staff are stretched. The place deserves success. The staff are doing a great job and the chef is doing wonderful things with duck and blackberries. And the custard desert. Wow. Just wow. It just needs a smidge more consistency, a spruce of the decor, an extra staff member and a tweak to some of the courses to go from good to excellent.

We called in for a beer and enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the Pinnacle on father's day. Good beers on tap and really good tasty Sunday roast. I opted for the lamb roast and everything was freshly cooked to high standard. The homemade mint sauce was awesome and perfect to go with the lamb roast. I would have liked to try a dessert but felt full have a starter and Sunday roast. Friendly guys that run the place, if we get back to cowling I would definitely eat and drink here again. Thanks
