At Lovelady Shield House - Eden

Having been informed that this hotel is to close permanently we booked in for a night with Dinner- 7 course taster menu with wine and Bed and Breakfast. The service was excellent and the food sublime. The chef excelled with his choice of dishes.

The food at this restaurant is expertly prepared and beautifully plated. The staff are well-trained and provide top-notch service. The bistro menu offers more straightforward options like chilli con carne or fish and chips, but the real standout is the taster menu. We tried dishes from both menus and they were all delicious, but we were particularly impressed with the taster menu, which comes with a flight of wines carefully chosen to complement each course. Kudos to the talented new chef and the outstanding staff.

Try it the taste sensations were lovely from the goats cheese mousse starter to the liquid orange gel with the chocolate brownie lovely

The 7 course tasting menu is fabulous, you are escorted into the restaurant and then courses are served at intervals so it is nice leisurely dining. Bistro food was also very good.

We have visited several times before and always had an excellent food experience and this time was no exception. From the Amuse Bouche Wholemeal bread round, smoked salmon and lemon yogurt through six more courses to the Chocolate mouse with brownie and vanilla ice cream we were treated to a gastronomic experience that was well worth the visit. Each course was well served by the waiting staff and you were given enough time to enjoy each course before the plates were removed. The highlights were the smoked haddock and bean cassoulet and the main of sirloin steak, just outstanding. If you have never been for a tasting menu at Lovelady Shield Hotel then it is well worth the visit.
