Food and Drink
We’re popping the champagne corks once again here at the Old Stocks, after being awarded a second AA rosette in our latest inspection.
We’ve been promoted to a two-rosette rating following a wealth of positive praise from the AA’s inspector during a visit to our hotel and restaurant earlier this week.
The assessment saw everything from our hospitality to our service and cleanliness reviewed, as well as the food served up in the restaurant by our amazing head chef Ian Percival and his team.
The purpose of the AA ratings is to give visitors a guide by which to compare hotels and restaurants that have the same star rating.
The glowing feedback we received from the AA inspector included points such as “check-in was seamless with lots of great orientation and information about the facilities and room amenities all excellently explained.”
With regard to the restaurant she said “service was relaxed, informed and delicate and the team were like perfectly choreographed dancers moving around each other seamlessly and effortlessly” and “the Pollock starter was fresh, crisp and clean. Really well balanced and delightful.”
Summing up her stay the inspector said “The rooms are spotless and the whole place is run with passion and creativity and flair. The Old Stocks Inn is just a delight to spend time in.”
Our whole troupe is really pleased with what we’ve achieved and we’re delighted to now be a two-star rated hotel and restaurant.
The double rosette rating is credit to the hard work of everyone involved at the Old Stocks Inn who all work tirelessly to ensure we deliver our guests a high quality and enjoyable stay.
