The Walnut Tree, Runcton

Went for dinner at the Walnut Tree after friends had recommended it and the location was ideal for a family get together. Looked up the contact details and was disappointed to see the poor reviews. Still I trusted my friends more and I'm really glad that I did, as we had a great night! The staff were lovely, the food was good and the beer was nice too. It's not a high-end "Gastropub" that's going to cost you �50 a head but the food was high quality, with generous portions, reasonably priced and all home cooked (my slow roast half-shoulder of lamb was delicious). At the end of the night I mentioned the reviews to the staff, which I think prompted the response below and rightly so. The Walnut Tree is a great place to spend the night in front of one of their real fires. I'm going back!
