We had a reservation for 8.15pm (very Queen Victoria) and by 6.30 we were starving so we ate half our Quarr Abbey cheese to tide us over. We set off at around 7pm so that we had plenty of time to walk to the Hotel and find it in Ventnor. We had a sherry in the bar and then were shown through to our table in the grand dining room. We ordered from the Table d'Hote menu and it was wonderful - each dish was beautifully prepared and presented and was full off flavour and contrasting textures. Mum had the wood pigeon as a starter and I had the pickled mackerel. We both had the lamb for the main with fantastic vegetables - really intense peas! Then Mum went for the crumble and I had the raspberry and pistachio cake. We then walked home in the moonlight, and had a cup of tea.
