Visited last night for an incredible curry extravaganza. Hospitality was absolutely fantastic. I went for the creamy chicken korma - it was magnificent.The sommelier kept those Cobra glasses topped up and also told us about the different flavours within. All in all it was a great evening and we will definitely be back.P.S. Only room for improvement would be a nice handshake on the way out.

My evening at the Friars Farm Curry House was a very enjoyable one. The Peshawari Chicken curry was succulent and the meat extremely tender. The free flowing Cobras made for a lovely evening. I did find it slightly unusual for the maître d' to sit down for dinner with us (along with his spaniel). The lack of after dinner mints was made up for with complimentary out of date Baileys. Nevertheless a very enjoyable evening was had by all. 8.5/10.

Astounding Perfection. The highest quality possible in all aspects of English bed and breakfast. If you are visiting the UK do not miss this opportunity to see it at its best. It is like staying in a stately home.

we had a warm welcome from the family, a most comfortable en-suite room with all those little things that make for a good break on a long journey (or a longer stay); including fresh milk for the wake up drink! and whats more the morning coffee at breakfast was so good. A genuine working farm B&B.
