O Lavrador

Well worth the drive out for a fantastic Sunday lunch. Everything was on point, from the medium rare Aberdeen Angus beef & roast lamb. Yorkshire pudding, perfectly cooked vegetables. Delicious cauliflower cheese and tip top roast & mash potatoes. The gravy was very good too. We will definitely be back! Oh, and the service was wonderful, discreet, efficient and welcoming. Cosy ambience.

Upon entering O Labrador we were immediately enthralled with the purposeful rural / agriculture decor . Having said that the white linen tablecloths and the generous spacing of tables give it a quiet, not stuffy elegance . The huge hearth with its glowing embers adds tremendously to the ambiance.

On our first visit Sam, co-chef and co owner, welcomed us warmly and spent time filling us in on the history of the building before our sumptuous meal.

My wife had the perfectly cooked belly of pork and I enjoyed the Irish angus roast beef. Both came with a delicious, baked to perfection Yorkshire pudding. We were also treated to beautifully hot, al dente, green beans, carrots, cabbage and roasted potatoes; which in one review were described as “under cooked”. (Perhaps the menu at the “Golden Arches” might better suit that reviewer 😏)

This IS a real gem. We’ve eaten there twice and are looking forward to our next visit .

Visited last night and definitely the best dinner of our trip. Carrot and Coriander soup and duck to start. Fabulous! My wife is allergic to garlic, no issues at all for the chef. Main course of monkfish … best I’ve ever had with chilli and cauliflower risotto. Pumpkin suet pudding was fine … and then onto desert of apple crumble pans cotta and raspberry ripple crème brûlée… Lovely evening and great food. Thanks to the team, will be back on the next visit!!!

We had the best diner here while we were in the region.

British owners, very friendly and good service. Despite having a very large table to attend to they made the time to listen to our needs and serve our table like any other.

The food was more international, but it was very well made. I had the crispy pork and my wife had the cajun chicken. The deserts were also to die for.

If you are not a local and looking for a good evening with fine dining food at affordable prices, put this location on your to do list!

Love this place - in winter with the wood fire burning it gives a very special and cosy atmosphere. Wonderful food and a nice menu selection with regular changes for the season. This place is very popular make sure you reserve. Highly recommended.
