The Three Acres Inn & Restaurant

A beautiful place, very welcoming, lots of attentive staff. A varied menu but my one criticism is the lack of vegetarian/vegan options on the à la carte menu. One of our party is allergic to nuts but thankfully not vegetarian as far as I could see the only option for my vegetarian daughter was the dish with pistachios in it. ….. if that had been the nut allergy person….. there would have been no choice!

Lovely setting and a high standard of service -- attentive, accommodating. But the quality of food leaves a lot to be desired -- neither living up to the classy service nor the elevated prices. My wife and I visited after being gifted a £50 voucher as a birthday present. My wife had The Acres Homemade Pie with "proper chips". The chips appeared to be store-bought thin fries (probably from frozen), and the pie was no tastier than a Fray Bentos (the big difference being the price: £26 versus £3). I had the half chicken and added sides of garlic mushrooms and roasted honey-glazed carrots. My meal was very tasty; the chicken was cooked to perfection, and the gravy ("jus") added some wonderful flavour, which was complemented by the addition of the garlic mushrooms. However, unfortunately, the carrots were served almost raw. They would have been a terrific addition had they been cooked properly. The Three Acres positions itself as a high-end restaurant without the food to back it up. It's good pub grub with prices to match its style rather than its substance.

Super meal here. We were a big table on a Saturday afternoon. Food was expensive however we didn't mind paying as I have to say it was the best steak I've ever tasted cooked to perfection. Big portion sizes, friendly staff and service was quick We will definitely be returning

Recommended by friends who had been before and had wonderful service, food and experience. However today unfortunately did not meet our expectations. The four of us were seated on a table next to the service bar with a double door at the side of us. The food was excellent, the service was not what we expected of the three acres. The staff were very young and friendly but from a customer point of view needed more training. The outer door was opened all through lunch by the staff carrying and taking chairs in and out. The table was so close to the wall that one of the guests who was fit and able could not get her feet under the table due to the table leg being so close to the wall. All the above was mentioned at the end of the meal to one of the senior people who apologised. A coffee or an after dinner drink could have been offered. We all felt we were in the naughty corner and would we go again???

Place beautiful, lovely decor and atmosphere. Staff attentive and wine (I actually had the french house white wine) was lovely. Bar also served budvar which you dont always find. Only ordered mains... I fancied the Lobster, but it was 65 pounds (which I would normally go for but thought it was overpriced) so went with the seafood platter. The seafood platter came with battered fish pieces which were nice enough and garlic prawns which were tasteless in a watery sauce, so I didn't eat these. The calamari was also tasteless. The scallops were small, came with cheese and were the nicest seafood on the plate. I wasn't sure about the warm oysters, there wasnt much to them (but have had them before at 3 acres at a woodfired event a number of years ago and they were amazing), fries were excellent. My partner had the lamb, which was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. It had a celeriac puree which was lovely and the tenderstem broccoli was also well cooked. Overall, I've had better/same food for lower prices and would not order the seafood platter again. If you're visiting, the lamb is good choice. The venue and staff were lovely and we had an ok night overall.

We stopped off for lunch on the way to a Bruce Springsteen concert, and it proved to be an excellent choice. The set lunch menu at £23.95 was good value. I enjoyed my main of shepherd's pie and peas, which had a very tasty cheesy topping. Service was good and the staff were happy to chat when we asked about the renovation work. The view of Emley Moor Mast is fabulous ; still the tallest building in the UK. We shall return.
