We stopped in for lunch, had a good varied menu, a little pricey. Food & service was good. They have a nice outdoor garden area so will definitely go back when the weather turns nice.

Would just like to express huge gratitude to all staff at the Walnut for an amazing evening last night. The buffet provided was amazing and more than ample. Having the "cottage area" for the party was perfect for the amount of a guests, as in private, but still enjoying the atmosphere and ambiance of the whole restaurant and bar.... All... More
