“Met up at The Yurt for lunch with friends. Absolutely perfect in every way. Polite, friendly staff, wonderful food and very reasonably priced. We were the last table to leave but were under no pressure to as we were aware of the closing time. I can’t wait for the next visit.”
“What a fantastic venue! We visited for lunch, and had the courgette and pea tagliatelle with a glass of wine. The quality of food was excellent and you could tell how fresh the dish was. The chips were also very tasty! It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere in the yurt and the waiters and waitresses were attentive and made lots of effort to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again!”
“This is a great place for a celebratory lunch for a group of friends, or for couples. The food, the hospitality and the venue are all excellent. This was our second visit and l am looking forward to our next visit already. The Yurt has fortified me with great food memories! Thank you team Yurt.”
