Just a little reminder of the familiar faces behind Toby Cottage. 😊

Mark, Masimo, Toni and Tony bring their warm welcome, friendly service and plenty of personality to every visit. They’re always ready with a smile, a helping hand and, from time to time, a very good laugh.

We’re so lucky to have them as part of our team, and even luckier to welcome so many familiar faces through our doors.

We hope to see you soon!

Monday morning might have its own little rhythm, but we find the best way to ease into the week is with something a little bit sweet.

Our famous dessert trolley is already polished and ready to roll, and it’s looking particularly spectacular today. It’s always a bit of a challenge to pick just one, isn’t it?

If you’re craving a classic, the Lemon Meringue is looking wonderfully zesty, or perhaps a Sherry Trifle for that perfect bit of nostalgic comfort? For something a touch more refreshing, our oranges in Grand Marnier and caramel are a real treat.

Our team: who are always ready with a warm smile and perhaps a bit of mischief: are here to make sure your week starts on a high note. We’d be absolutely honoured to see you in the dining room for a bit of gentle cheer and a well-deserved treat.

Is there anything better than escaping the February chill for a bit of cottage comfort?

We’ve been keeping the candles lit and the ovens warm here at Toby Cottage, and we’d love for you to join us. If you’re looking for a little winter pick-me-up that doesn’t break the bank, we’ve got some lovely treats on our set menus right now.

Our Winter Seasonal Menu is just £28.50 for three courses. Our chef Masimo has been busy in the kitchen with some lovely Beef Bourguignon that's perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner under our 18th-century beams.

And of course, Sundays just aren’t the same without a roast! Our Sunday set menu is £30.50 for three courses, and yes, the Yorkshire puddings are still standing tall. Just the way they should be!

Whether you're tucked away in a corner for a romantic date or catching up with the family, we’ll make sure you’re well looked after.

We can't wait to see you!

There’s something about a crisp winter evening that makes the warmth of our little cottage feel even more like a big, oak-beamed hug.

While it might be chilly outside in Ripley, inside we’ve been busy perfecting the stars of our Winter Menu. Today, we wanted to share the story behind a real favourite: our Fresh Fillet of Hake.

We’re quite picky when it comes to fish (if you’ve met Tony or Toni, you’ll know they wouldn’t have it any other way!), and this hake is as fresh as it gets. We’ve paired it with a classic white w**e and tarragon sauce: a combination that’s light enough to let the delicate fish shine, but creamy enough to feel like a proper winter indulgence.

It’s simple, elegant, and honestly, seeing it come out of the kitchen with that aromatic sauce never fails to brighten our day. Whether you’re a regular or visiting us for the first time, it’s a dish that feels like a quiet celebration of the season.

We’d be honoured to have you join us for a glass of something crisp and a candlelit table under our historic oak beams.
