I would have loved to have a nice photo with everything all together, but as the dishes came so spaced out they would have been cold by the time the others came (it took over an hour to get deep fried pickles). I was going to rate this restaurant one star, as this is the second time I've been here and both times the food and the service have been not good. However, this time I mentioned my issues to the staff and they gave me a discount off of my bill and our drinks for free to make up for our bad experience. Because of that, I will not say anything else negative about the food and I will try to come here for a third time to really give it another go.As a positive, the staff do listen to issues and unfortunately it seemed understaffed which isn't anyone's fault. They also tried the best they could to try and prevent loud and singing customers at the bar, of which they also couldn't control. So I've rated it three stars, in hopes that next time will be better.

Myself and family visited The Tannery for their ?steak night? and had a wonderful time. The staff were attentive and friendly and there was a nice atmosphere all round. The steak deal was fantastic value for money and cooked to perfection. All of our steaks came exactly as asked, top marks to the chef. I haven?t tried anything else on the menu, so can?t comment on that, but steak night is a must for anyone (vegan option also available). Highly recommend.

The Tapas selection was excellent, but this was our first visit and we had not appreciated that the offer of 6 for £36 would result in so much food! Our lunch would have been fine for a group of 4 , but was far too much for 2. Some guidance would have been helpful, but we were not offered any. The expected discount for Gourmet Society did not apply to this offer so we ended up paying far too much. The food was excellent, but we still left feeling that we had not received good value.

We visit fairly regularly for tapas/Sunday roast, the quality of the cooking is always great, the service is really friendly and attentive, it?s a relaxing place to spend a few hours. Live music on Sunday afternoons makes for a nice atmosphere, but you can ask to sit in the conservatory if you prefer a quieter dining experience.Children are very welcome, the kids? menu is quality as well, cooked fresh. Our 3 year old usually eats really well here. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Great value for money, great place!

We keep driving past The Tannery, and always say, 'we must go there'...well, finally, we did! We left the teenagers at home and came out for a rare date night. The food and service were both fabulous...and when we actually realised that we had over ordered, it was no problem to get the rest boxed up. We will definitely go again, we might even let the children come next time!

Up from S Devon for 4 nights B&B nearby. My wife spotted a shared Sunday Roast for 2 deal here. Excellent value @ £20, good food, buzzy vibe and young staff team. Recommended.

Food was average had better roast dinners. Service was not up to scratch. Our table was not ready on arrival. Wasn?t asked if our child wanted a meal had go and find a server. Forgot to bring a drink when asked. Didn?t bring bill when asked. Some serious training needed with staff members. Service was slow and slack. Came because of a groupon voucher and wouldn?t have been happy paying full price if didn?t have the voucher. Will not be returning.

I was dubious about visiting the Tannery. Tapas is not my thing, so glad I went. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed sharing my food. Been twice more since then,

Went today on a Groupon deal, first of all we waited 45 minutes for our food which at best was just about warm, the food was ok except for the Yorkshire pudding which was like shoe leather! The staff were nice and helpful!

We have been previously and it has always been lovely. This time we went for Mothers day, the service was great (we even got 2 free glasses of prosecco). We ordered the Tapas starters, they had good range of variety and all tasted delicious. We then had the sharing platter consisting of Beef, Chicken and Belly Pork, served with all the trimmings, this was amazing and filled us all up! We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend.

Avoid Sunday dining, we have been before, it was very good, on this occasion though; that wasn't the case. We were greeted with slack rude service, at a very slow pace, two of our party said the food was ok, two were not happy, I had rubbery chicken and a cold uncooked yourkshire pudding, my daughter had cold roast potatoes, both plates covered with gravy when neither of us like gravy. We would have asked for no gravy but had already been told everything was served separately by an abrupt waitress while enquiring about vegetables. This visit was spoiled, when we know from a previous visit they can serve great food. Here's hoping it was a one off, they did try to addresses the situation with a reduction, however, a great dining experience would have been preferred. Excuses were made that it was a busy day and the waitress was young, Serving everything one item at a time doesn't help when it's busy, neither does being rude or inept.

Excellent food both the tapas style starters and the Roast dinner. Nice cosy environment, lovely staff and live music on the night we visited. This was our first visit but won?t be our last.

Had a lovely meal. We ordered a range of tapas to share; all were really tasty, and the portion sizes were very generous. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing place, every time I go it's even better. Service with a smile and amazing food.Please note that if you take on the offer of discounted wine with the tapas deal do not order your wine at the bar before your food as it only covers specific wines.Definitely a place you should stay and try the Frickles yummy ?
