Get the halloumi for sure, and the pornstar martini is perfect.

Absolutely beautiful place. Food is amazing and the bar is gorgeous. Staff were lovely. It's definitely not inexpensive by any stretch but the experience certainly offers the amenities of the price point.

Food was amazing but side portions were lacking. Curry had 1 spoonful of rice and pie had 1 spoonful of mash. Might have been ok if had starters but was disappointing. The service was excellent!

Grand spot. Good location and nice place. Easy to relax and well looked after. Staff are friendly but not in your space.

The atmosphere and staff were lovely. We sat in a booth and had a wonderful time. All the food was excellent….apart from the beef! Loved the Chowder and tempura. Our main was the Sunday roast. Everything was great apart from the beef. We went pink but it was a bit chewy. This is the only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars. We would return for aure

was very disappointed in the Sunday Lunch in The Cloth Ear, I ordered the Roast Beef, I got one slice of beef which was very stingy I felt, I ordered it pink but it was tough and barely any vegetables, a flabby Yorkshire pudding and roasties that were undercooked and not crispy, we also ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was watery, considering the price of it, it was very poor cooking, I could have done better myself, they need to do better, the staff were lovely but at the price they are charging, I would expect a whole lot more.
