We saw this place on our way through to Mercedes Benz and was about to pass out from hunger. Thought we would give it a whirl & check it out.
Impressive decor and a fantastic welcoming reception on entrance. Opted for main course instead of the very well priced £8.95 lunch two course offer.
I had lasagne and Fi went for Katsu curry. By far, this katsu curry blew wagamama away to oblivion - based on a broth than a glupey paste, it oozed class with subtle, yet intense flavours & coconut rice served in the most beautiful mini steamers. As for the chicken - beautifully tender and crisp with a healthy portion to match. The lasagne was so intensely flavoured, that every mouthful was a delight.
Dessert wise, I went for 'not your usual tirimisu' and fi had sticky toffee pudding. These really were something to shout about. I have never had such a passionate display of creativity applied to dishes before. Well, only when I have been to Michelin starred restaurants that is... I don't know the background of this chef, but going by the food, he should have a michelin star for the creativity and thought put behind these dishes & the flavours.
Our server, Gillian, was the creme de la creme of this experience. Great banter - warm and friendly. Personality sells a place and she is an amazing asset to this establishment. I can't fault this place and look forward to coming back, even though it is a 40 mile round trip to get here!

I've been there with collegues. Nice scottish highland. Burger in a warm atmosphere. Espalada are less tasty.

I recently ate at Cook's with my husband, mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law. We came upon a recommendation of a friend of Gran's. I opted for the blue cheese burger and it was quite possibly one of the worst burgers I've ever had - densely packed and not nice-tasting plus so overcooked that I couldn't even cut part of one side.
HOWEVER, starters were nice, everyone else's mains were great, and they did a very very nice sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The service started off excellently, but the shifts clearly changed over while we were there, and then things slowed down. We waited about half an hour to get someone to bring us our bill.
Would I go back? Yes. But I'd steer clear of a burger next time.
