Meals were delivered quickly and as ordered. The same with the drinks. My only complaint would be that they didn't warn me the portion size for my meal was huge.

Roast of the Day
The roast of the day with giant Yorkshire pudding is great value. Lamb was fall apart tender and they didn’t forget the mint jelly.
bhillssofa Rump Steak
I had the rump steak special, and it was outstanding. It was priced the same as you’d expect to pay anywhere else, but the quality was far better. Cooked perfectly just as ordered, tender, and full of flavour.
Daniel Weatherby Salmon
Finally..... someone who knows how to cook salmon !! Absolutely delicious. Terriyaki Salmon was on a Specials board but hopefully will go onto the permanent Winter menu. Cooked to perfection. Flaky and full of flavour.
Paula Gaffney Padel Ragu
My go-to meal at the Captain Cook Tavern is the Padel Ragu, and I have to say, it’s phenomenal. I order it every time I visit, and it never disappoints. The rich, hearty flavors are up there with what you’d find in top Italian restaurants
