Very poor Sunday lunch. Roast potatoes were almost cremated the carrot and swede too sloppy. The white sauce on the broccoli was tasteless and the roast beef so thinly sliced it must have been done on a bacon slicer. On top of that the food was not very hot. Only good point was the roast pork and crackling. We will not come again.

Atmosphere was lovely, we had good servers and a great view out onto the front. Food was good, starters were amazing but the roast dinner was nothing to write home about. We have been here during the week, dining from the usual menu- which we much preferred. Will be back again without a doubt, just not on a Sunday.

The new menu, has some very tasty starters added (chorizo and sour cream) and I love the lasagne as it is more solid than some other restaurants which is more to my taste. Fish and chips always lovely and fresh.

I have been to The Davenport several times since it re-opened and have always had a lovely evening so I’m not sure what happened. All three of us were disappointed - it just wasn’t the standard we were expecting.

Love the place. Service was good. Main was good. However, desert was disappointing, just a lemon curd jam tart with undercooked meringue and pastry was soft. Expected crisp pastry and real lemon meringue filling with crispy topping

Lovely service, great food. Bit of difficulty with a new waitress who seemed like she could have done with a bit more training on the drinks in stock but she tried hard and was really sweet. We’ll be back.

Very nice surroundings after its renovation however food is not the same quality as Bay Horse or Muse but prices are similar. Sirloin steak wasn’t as nice as expected for the price as it was ‘very chewy ‘ I will return as staff were excellent so maybe it was an off night for the steak.
