We had a a delightfully delicious lunch today at Juniper. The food was cooked to perfection for both of our meals with lovely flavours. We were so impressed we are looking forward to celebrating our Golden Wedding anniversary later on in the year with our family of foodies, but will obviously visit again before then. Particular favourite of mine was the pork belly which was tender and so tasty. It was nice to meet the talented chef at our table and Rob made our experience very comfortable with the right amount of welcome, service and information. A great introduction to this little gem. Thank you

Its themed menus are outstanding, full of interesting and original ideas using beautiful fresh produce. We’ll be back for the next one! Service impeccable, staff are always friendly, welcoming and ready to answer questions and if they don’t know the answer they’ll go and find out. It has become one of our absolute favourite places to eat.

Juniper is a great little find - the food is excellent with a small but well balanced menu for all tastes. We ate lunch here and the food is very good value, 2 courses on the midweek lunch menu for 22. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. The venue is a lovely restored stone cottage with clean, contemporary decor, and an easy journey from M6 Jnct 27. Our waitress was professional and friendly, and managed all the covers in the front of the restaurant without fuss. Will definitely return.

Absolutely Amazing experience. Food and service totally top notch. We have been wanting to dine here for a while. We came here as it was our wedding anniversary & what a lovely memory to cherish.staff attentive without being obtrusive.The icing on the cake was two homemade "fab" lollies and complimentary mocktails for our anniversary. Can't praise the restaurant enough. A huge thank you from both of us. We will definitely be coming back......

Visited lunchtime for my birthday. My partner's daughter is good at recommending places and this was no exception. Warm welcome and attentive service throughout. Menu was not all that extensive, but making a final choice between two or three of the main dishes was (in the nicest possible way) not easy. Eventually plumped for the roast beef, which was very well presented and was delicious. The roast potatoes could've been a little larger, but the vegetables were lovely. Not a fan of horseradish, but here it worked perfectly. Full marks for presentation of my dessert, the mango and passionfruit pavlova (see picture).

Without doubt, the best meal out we've had in the area in a very long time. Travelling up from London to spend time with family, this place is well worth going the extra mile for. Cracking menu with something for everyone, including a separate and varied alternative vegan menu. Amazing fresh ingredients, superbly crafted in house by a talented chef and served by a friendly and engaging team. Don't miss this absolute gem!
