   Amazing food, the staff were so kind and attentive. The afternoon tea was amazing and had a good selection but the portions were a little too big! Thankfully they gave us some boxes to take the scones with us which we enjoyed very much later in the hotel. Would definitely recommend. Had a lovely view of Parker’s Piece.

   Lovely food. Service as usual pretty bad. Staff all lovely but need training. We were shown to table then left alone for 20 minutes. Had to ask for attention

   The ambience and the food were good, but unusually (we have visited several times before), the service was poor - slow, with different diners food arriving at different times (e.g, someone had finished their dessert before another diner’s arrived), drink orders forgotten, and long waits between courses. Not their usual standard of service.

   Took a little too long to come to take out order. Then the order was taken incorrectly so the wrong food was brought out. Staff were apologetic and free drinks plus reduced bill made up for the mistake. The starters were excellent, mains okay. Burger was overdone and therefore quite tough. Ambience was nice, live jazz music from the bar. Service overall very good. It is pricey but I don’t mind that if the food is excellent. It was good, but not excellent. The order mistake can happen and it was rectified quickly. I appreciated the complementary drinks and reduced bill.

    The Scallop and herring starters were outrageous value for money. I’m actually surprised somewhat that the chef sent them out they were so small. The sausage starter was much better. Main courses were ok but the starters spoilt the experience. Still a good place to stay but will probably give the restaurant a miss for dinner next time we come.
