The Dog and Gun Inn restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.7
We booked in advance for the taster menu, one normal and one pescatarian option. When we got there the staff were really friendly and attentive.
The food was all amazing and the chef was deciding what to change the main course to substitute the beef for something else which was really special to know I was having something created on the fly by the chef.
The stand out dishes were the scallop, cheese soufflé with black truffle and the mille-feuille dessert which I would highly recommend.
We also ordered the wine pairing and when the staff missed the parking for one dish they were quick to apologise and sort things out and compensate which was a nice touch.
Service charge is not included in the price and they can't add gratuity on to the card so if you want to tip do take some cash with you.
The taster menu was £89 which for 10 course was really reasonable and very filling. I would highly recommend a visit .
