    Excellent service from the staff, friendly and cheerful. The food was wonderful and dessert was to die for. Would recommend a Sunday lunch there.

    I was disappointed with the quality of the rump steak on the lunch menu. It was grissly and touch, and hardly any onions served with it. The menu stated drinks included. I was charged for a coffee and a Coca Cola which looked to be included. The service was “adequate”. She bought our food and gave us the bill. Not sure I’ll be returning.
    The ChelsfieldResponded on 15 November 2024
    Dear Lorraine, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you were not 100% satisfied. I'd like to point out that the lunch menu clearly states what drinks are/aren't included in the deal and coffee isn't one of those choices. In regards to the Coke, that was included in the deal but you were charged an extra £3.00 as you had chosen to go with the open steak sandwich which as stated on the menu, has an extra surcharge of £3. I am glad to hear that the service was adequate. Please also note that we do not generally do table service in the bar area but as I saw that your friend was on crutches, I thought a little extra help would have been appreciated. I hope to see you both again soon. Kindest regards, Chiara GM

    The bar staff were lovely. Very polite and helpful. Bar area was loud. I would choose the dining room next time. Menu was a little limited. More healthy options please.

    The food was very good but the service was awful. Instead of desert we ordered the coffee and mini desert. The coffee came quite quickly and we expected the deserts to follow. Half an hour later I asked if they had forgotten the deserts but was told that they were busy. Not what I was expecting.

    I have eaten here a couple of times, and have never had a problem with service or food, but today we had a roast dinner and 3 items was left off all our roasts as they had run out, but wasnt asked if we wanted replacements. Just told we have run out! Also food was luke warm and some parts cold. Was a bit disappointed this time to be honest 😕
