The Parakeet

I visited the Parakeet for their Sunday roast. The pub is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. I like you can still visit the pub as a pub or have a drink before or after your meal before you make your way to the dining room. In general, the service was great. Table was ready when we arrived, great balance of checking in on us and leaving us alone. We both had the roast beef and it was great, as was all the sides. We ordered the extra cauliflower cheese which was a must, but I was a bit gutted to not have their leeks they normally do. They also had chicken, lamb and more special sharers including a sirloin. I would love to come back and try a special. We also had a sticky toffee pudding and mousse for dessert. Both were great. The wine list is decent. There are a few glasses available by glass, carafe or even by coravin. Definitely recommend. I will be returning for a roast and I’d like to visit for a regular dinner.

This was by far the best beef roast I’ve had to date - WOOD FIRE. The potatoes were perfectly done, the gravy was rich and flavourful, and the medium-rare beef was done to perfection. The cauliflower cheese was exceptional as well. The sticky toffee pudding was equally impressive, rounding off a fantastic meal. Here’s the corrected sentence: Last but not least, the staff was laid-back and friendly, ensuring everything was perfect without being over the top. Shady and cozy atmosphere. 5⭐️

Had Saturday lunch here, favourite dishes were the potato bread, trout, leeks and cherry sorbet. A little disappointed at the pork jowl dish’s portion, it was delicious but only 3 thin slices especially as it’s a ‘big dish’. I’d like to come back for the Sunday roast and I’m sure it won’t disappoint! Amazing interior and brilliant atmosphere
