Pallatt - Black Torrington

After reading all the reviews I pick this pub for a special birthday surprise but I am so so disappointed with it when we arrived the pub was empty we ordered our drinks and taken to our table as we had arrived a little early we sat and waited before we ordered to be told the shef could not take it because there was a party of six coming. eventually we did order our food and sat for about twenty minutes. It finally arrived apart from our fries which tuned up twenty five minutes later after that we payed and left so I would not recommend.

What a boon to our village is the Black River Inn. Chef Pallatt is a magician with food and Gill Pallatt is the perfect host and manages her restaurant, bar and team with flair, style and a smile. I have never had anything but amazing food at the BRI but last night’s eating experience was exceptional. Thank you Gill and Alex for raising me to new heights of enjoyment and eating satisfaction. Price per person: £20–30

This was my first experience of tapas, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed it was amazing. I was with a group who normally ordered from a fixed menu in advance. The host was very happy to extend the full menu to us to order on arrival. The service was prompt. The staff were very friendly, we felt at home. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5
