    All was well apart from the phone which kept on ringing - and ringing - and ringing. Surely there are some staff members who can answer it?

    A first, but certainly not last visit to the Pelican. Considerate service and excellent choices of dishes. The duck salad was really well done and the Mushroom Bourguignon pie with crushed potatoes was superb. Lots of parking, plenty of space and quiet areas of tables, ideal for couples and large groups.

    We had people with different food tolerance and had rung and discussed in advance. There was nervousness as although each person said what they couldn’t have it was repeated back by staff differently. Also one meal came with something that should not have been on the plate. Luckily this was not a person with an allergy. It was quickly rectified once challenged. We heard another table having similar conversations. The food was delicious though and the others had no issues.
