The Horn of Plenty

Stayed at The Horn of Plenty for 3 nights on the Gourmet Break, we had a fabulous time, the food was very special, lovely room with a great view and the staff were brilliant and could not do enough for you. Would highly recommend this place its a real treat and the location is beautiful.

We had been frequenting the H.O.P for 30 years and it was our local favourite ‘go to’ place to eat. Unfortunately since the new management took over it is at best pedestrian and quite ordinary. We now go to Endsleigh Hotel & Restaurant as our eatery of choice, pity but there it is.

Don't go here with children , the owner has just been stung by peado hunters, he's been chatting to underage girls , two thirteen year olds , the sting is available to view on Facebook . Saving Children's Futures uk ! JEREMY V . If you have any morals avoid putting money in this man's pockets !!

Warning………………….:… The owner is a Peter File! Going to prison soon hopefully. Stay well away…been grooming young children! Been trying to meet 13 year old girls. Jeremy Vincent - Nonce! Look online and you will see for yourselves, he’s a monster!!

I was disappointed with the whole experience . I had heard good things from friends & this was a special occasion. The food was ok but defensibly not matching the price on either quality or quantity. The desserts were very disappointing . We were not asked if we would like more drinks at all . The dirty glasses were left on the table . We had to ask a couple of times for things we had ordered but had not arrived. The restaurant only had a few tables in so was not busy . The location, decor & views were the only redeeming factor ..

We stayed for a 5 night break (18-23 May 2025) as part of short holiday. I note that we have been coming to the hotel every year since about 2017, so this must have been our 9th annual visit; which must be recommendation indeed. We stayed in Room 3 on this occasion. It was very comfortable, spacious and welcoming, with a superb private balcony. Gourmet food has always one of the main reasons for coming to The Horn of Plenty and we have never been disappointed. We comprise a “true veggie and a no-fish” couple which one might assume presents some challenges to the chef and his team. However, the restaurant manager and the chef have always ensured that we had good choices over the five days (even though you had quite a short menu in previous years). The new menus are terrific and enable comprehensive choices for our menu preferences. In particular the A La Carte was a great addition to the Table d'Hote and Tasting menus. My wife was particularly impressed with the new menus, and she said that the Tasting menu during our stay was exceptional (Tom the chef, had organised some interesting and superb alternatives to the fishy and non-veg courses). In particular, Tom had prepared a bespoke course of mushroom tartare for us instead of one of the fish dishes. It was superb. Sarah, Douglas and the team were particularly professional, attentive and polite, even on occasions when the tables were very busy. The lady who served our breakfasts on several mornings was also very attentive and helpful. It was good to see the owner for a few days while we were there and we were glad that the high standards of the hotel had been well maintained and improved, with some upgrading and re-decorating, despite the alleged current period of fiscal hardship within the hotel industry and the wider UK.  We would have found name-badges to be a useful addition to your services; we would have liked to mention particular staff members, but appreciate that they might prefer to be "anonymous".  We look forward to seeing the staff and hotel again on our next trip  - and also thank them for arranging the good weather for us all week.
