As always, fantastic food, fantastic service and amazing price. Nothing can go wrong. My suggestion is: book in advance, go there early, have few drinks from beers to ales and then enjoy your meal!

7 of us went for Sunday lunch - the staff were friendly and helpful, there was a good choice of meals, and the service was prompt. No complaints about the quality of the food, though we felt the portions, particularly the vegetables and the desserts, could have been a little more generous.

Had a lovely meal from the new menu. It's a shame that none of the old favourites survived the menu revamp and the prawn cocktail is particularly missed! The smoked mackerel salad was very tasty, but not really a substitute. Best roast lamb I think I've ever had!!

They are very kind. Just one thing: Just double check we you order gluten-free food if you are intolerant to gluten. They have gluten free options, which is great! We ordered a dish that usually comes with bread. Obviously, we asked to remove it when we ordered. However, it came with two slice of (gluten) bread which is not good for contamination issues. Aver all, the rate for us is 5. Enjoy

Good service but the food was disappointing. The roast beef was overcooked, the pork was very fatty. Perhaps 2pm was too late for Sunday lunch.

As always the service and good were both excellent. Good variety of food including a Specials menu and a very good choice of dishes on the children's and desert menus. Lovely, freshly cooked, food! Booking a table is not always necessary but, if there are several of you, it is a good idea to do so.

Our three meals were excellent although waiting for first order for 45 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant is too long and very unusual for the Cradock...

Sunday lunch was excellent. Only marked down because (i) was told were booked up when tried to move time in advance, when they clearly weren’t (there is plenty of space and unused main rooms); and (ii) we didn’t find the two female staff (students possibly) on the tables very professional. We asked for a slight variation to the menu (due to one of the party being ill) and were treated with disdain for doing so, with a ‘can’t do’ attitude, and subsequent whispering between them, eye rolling etc. which was off putting. May give them a second chance because the food was good, but was an unpleasant experience, especially after a two hour drive to get there and catch up with relatives.
