Unlike many other 'eateries' we make everything on the premises. We use fresh, local ingredients which are prepared by qualified, experienced chefs.
I would like to add a good review but for reasons stated below I cannot.I tried over the internet (twice) to book for the 2nd July 2009 but got no reply. We then rang to find out if they had received our e-mails, all we got was an answerphone so we left a message with our details.The call was returned only for someone identifying them self as the chef, to tell me that they close for the summer on the 3rd July (which is a Friday) until sometime in October due to lack of business.I said that we want the 2nd July which was the day before, and was told that they do not have anyone booked for that date and that they would not open just for four people that we were trying to book for. The bottom line being is that if we booked and no one else did then they would cancel our booking if necessary the day before.What a strange way to run a business!
This restaurant is very small - possibly the smallest I have been in. It is a converted old Police station, hence the name - and the staff evencdress accordingly. It has been open since 1998, and is tucked away in Nelson - but well worth finding.The food is good stuff - we have been there for Christmas meals, and the portions are wonderful! Service was quick, the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable, and you feel as though nothing is too much trouble for them all. I found out later that they also do a regular specials such as a three course sunday lunch for under £16. The chef is willing to cater for special diets - and uses as much fresh food as possible so quality and standards are high.It has won a number of awards for both the food and accommodation - and is currently with five stars for the Wales restaurants with rooms category. I would thoroughly recommend this place.
