About The Rake and Riddle

Three restaurants under one roof means the menus here are genuinely long, which helps when one child only eats chips and another wants a proper steak. Parking is easy and free, with separate in and out access — a small mercy with a buggy and a toddler in tow. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and a big outdoor seating area that's lovely in decent weather. Portions are generous and food arrives well presented; the salmon fishcake with cockle and leek sauce and the crème brûlée get particular praise. Quiet weekday lunchtimes are the sweet spot — one family found it near-empty on a Tuesday with attentive service. Worth knowing: at busier times waits between courses can stretch, and the ladies' toilets have drawn grumbles. Book ahead at weekends if you want a calm table.
