We went here for my dads birthday on a monday evening and we were blown away with the food!! We(4 adults) arrived at 5 with a 9 month old baby and asked for a quiet corner and we were shown to a little cubby hole so had loads of room to ourselves. There was no early bird so we ordered starters and main courses. Starters were 2 x garlic mushrooms(bit greasy but gorgeous), goats cheese, BBQ wings. Main course i had burger(never tasted anything like it, fantastic!!) , 3 x duck which i was told was great. There was loads of full tables when we were leaving so nice atmosphere there. The only bad thing about it was too much food!!!!!!!!!!!! We were stuffed leaving. Would definately go back again...

Was terribly disappointed with lunch here. Alarm bells rang when I saw the sign for carvery. We asked if there was any other option and were told that the gourmet sandwich menu was available at the table. Needing a hot meal on a cold day, we opted reluctantly for carvery. On the day, there were no prices displayed on the menu board. At least if there were, they were not clearly marked. Options were the usual, roast joint of lamb, cornish pastie, fish cakes and veggie lasagne for the non carnivores.Accompaniments were an array of bog standard overcooked veggies and a choice of roast potatoes or chips, with sauces for each dish. I opted for fish cakes while my companion opted for pastie. Our logic was that at €12.50 each they would be very good fishcakes and pasties. We could not have been more wrong. The fishcakes were dried out from sitting under a lamp and instead of having a seperate dipping dish for the fiery syrup they called sweet chilli sauce, they were drowned in the hideous, sugary concoction from which there was no chilli flavour, just sickly sweetness and overpowering heat. The pastie was soggy and bland as were the accompanying veggies. Dessert beckoned and since they were described as fabulous, tempting desserts we gave in. At €6 a pop, they had better be good. Tea was also ordered and arrived 15mins before dessert with a filthy teacup. Shame and service in fact was most disorganised. Dirty crockery is inexcusable at any level of commercial catering. Desserts were not worth waiting for nor worth the money. Banoffee pie is not worth €6 and the parfait was choc full of large ice crystals. The chocolate was also very grainy. I couldn't find much good to say. The decor was nice but thats about it.

Enjoyed an excellent meal of duck from the menu and goose from the specials and wow both were just fantastic, great athmospere and warm cosy feel there, great pleasent staff and value for money. Judging by how busy the place is they are doing something right - well done to all involved.

We were in The Elm Tree tonight and were delighted with the new menu. We had the platter to share to begin and I had the chicken korma for main course and my better half had the 10oz steak which he said was great. We didn't have room for dessert but we did get to see the unveiling of the new look bar which looks set to be open this weekend! Cant wait to come back!!

my visit on wednesday to the elm tree was a suprise delight. i havent heard much about it perhaps because of its location but i will be raving about it in future. we each had two courses and i couldnt complain about anything if i tried. The service was some of the best i have ever recieved. one girl in particular stood out. she was so helpful and nice that it made tipping a pleasure. i will certainly be bringing my inlaws there soon to impress them

I booked this bar/restaurant for a group of 12 people for team dinner. When we arrived it was very warm and welcoming, lovely buzz around the restaurant and was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night, which is a great sign. I had specific requests as to a certain area of the restaurant and seating arrangements, all were done to my exact requests. As there was a large group we ordered a lot of different starters, main courses and desserts. They also had a number of specials on the board that evening. The food was excellent, I had the cod wrapped in parma ham, absolutely delicious. Everyone in the group were extremely pleased with their meal and the selection on the menu was enought to satisfy all tastes. We had a senior member of our Management team with us who was very impressed and we will most definitely be using it again for business and pleasure.

Ate here recently with my family and the in-laws. Had a lovely meal, the food was cooked perfectly and the service was second to none, each member of staff was nicer than the last. There were lots of children here and they were accommodated really well! they had their own menus and were given colours to help keep them occupied whilst waiting for dinner. Have to say that even with drinks the cost of our meal was amazing (Cheap). Will definitely be back soon!!
