I have been fortunate enough to eat at the Dog & Gun three times in the last 18 months. The food is always great but it would seem that the menu does not change as much as one would expect in a Michelin starred pub/restaurant. The atmosphere can feel quite fragile but don't be afraid to make conversation! Unfortunately it is let down by the - on my most recent visit we loitered in the doorway when we could see our table was laid and once shown to it we were not brought any menus or able to even order a drink for a good 15 minutes that we actively clocked at the time due to it taking quite so long. When latterly ordering a nice bottle of wine, it is just brought to the table like any other bottle, it is not shown or offered for tasting like you would expect in any high end restaurant. In summary, lovely pub, good food, great for an occasion and would recommend a larger group over going as a couple. for a prestigious establishment could be improved. Great restaurant. We had a booking that we moved a few days later. Unfortunately they had no record of the change. Panic. However the staff were accommodating and found us a table. The food was really good, the atmosphere was very cosy and pleasant. The I would say was a 3 star, as the staff seemed to be over busy, maybe they were a little short on numbers. Would definitely recommend. Quiet village pub with a Michelin star heart. We walked in and felt very welcome. We decided to try the 10 course taster menu. Absolutely blown away by the food. Everything was perfect! The herb fed chicken with mushroom purée and their take on a coronation croquette were worth a mention from the main courses. The poached apricot with peach liquor and apricot iced cream was hands down the nicest dessert ever! 100% worth a visit. Excellent value for money for what you get. We have dined here before when on holiday in the lakes and we were looking forward to returning as everything was amazing last time. However the tonight was poor, not very friendly, not very attentive. Never checked to see if we wanted more drinks or refilled our water throughout our main and dessert courses. Food was lovely but not quite at the level it had been previously. Would expect more for price point and compared to our previous experience. My partner and I visited for her birthday recently and were blown away by the quality in both food and of the staff and the Dog & Gun Inn. The vibe here is a perfect combination of relaxed and high quality food from the surrounding area. Where to start with the food..? My partner convinced me to join her with the tasting menu, as I was concerned there might not be enough to fill me up 😂, thank god I was wrong. Every single dish was amazing with personal highlights of the Lamb Bhuna and the Dover Sole 🤩. Added bonus of being able to bring our dog along with us (Tell me another Michelin star restaurant where you can do that 🥰🤎) who was made to feel welcome by the staff and relaxed the whole evening. Thank you again D&G for making the birthday celebrations very memorable. We will certainly be back to visit again in the future ☺️🙏🏽 Lovely pub with a great tasting menu. The wine pairing was particularly good, the standout was a Spanish vermouth with the tiramisu. Dog friendly was a real bonus. Really enjoyed a recent meal here for a birthday celebration. Nice old style pub with amazing food and service. Highly recommend the venison pudding and scallops! Look forward to coming back soon My wife and I dined here last night to celebrate both her birthday and the birth of our son. We had the tasting menu which consisted of 10 delicious courses. My wife enjoyed the mocktails on offer while, I had had the wine pairing. Szandra came and explained all about the wines that I would be having throughout the evening and how they paired with each meal. Each one was perfect with the food. I also have a nut allergy which they catered for with no problems. The was excellent with emails before we even got there, to the explanations of ingredients in each course for me. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for helping us celebrate.
