    The whole experience from arriving to leaving was perfect as always. The staff are friendly but professional, your made to feel like part of the Runa Farm family. The food was delicious and enough choice, not to little and not too much on the menu. The staff fully explained the soup, catch and desert of the day. The price was really reasonable and the atmosphere and venue itself is relaxing but up market. Overall it was a very enjoyable evening ☺️

    The sausages and bacon were very tough. It said cooked to order but it was like it had been stood for a while under a hot plate. We have been a few times before and it was buffet style and always enjoyed it so hopefully this was just a one off but if it says cooked to order we would expect it to be cooked to order 😔

    We were given a private room in which to dine. Our daughter has autism and a fear of laughing and noise. The room was beautiful and the food and service superb.
