Consistently high standards at The Holcombe Inn
THANKS to its team of four chefs headed by Shane Vant and its front-of-house attention to detail, 2018 has seen The Holcombe Inn proudly maintain its two rosettes and receive a certificate of excellence award from Trip Advisor. Owner Jules Berry said: “The certificate of excellence award from Trip Advisor shows consistently high standards in the not only the level of food produced but for our level of service being attentive yet not too formal making it a more relaxing and enjoyable experience overall.” The Holcombe Inn gardens have been very popular over the summer months, packed with people enjoying a sundowner from its extensive bar menu including great fresh cocktails. Jules added: “Now that winter is here, the log fires will be burning in the cosy bar and snug areas and perhaps our in-house foraged rosehip gin, rhubarb vodka or an espresso martini may tickle your fancy?” The inn’s coffee bar is open seven days a week from 8am serving fresh speciality coffees and teas and cakes, pastries, brownies and cookies by pastry chef Jeseigh. Breakfast is also served from 8-9.30am Monday-Friday and from 8-10am Saturday and Sunday. Sundays are hugely popular at “The Holcy” serving fabulous Sunday roasts along with a full a la carte menu and pub classics from midday until 9pm. Booking is advisable. Food is also served all day Saturday with lunch and dinner served Monday-Friday.
