"UPDATED REVIEW Gorgeous views and they keep a great pint here. More reasonably priced than the pub in the village, too. Staff are lovely, most especially Liz. Good pub grub, reasonably priced, decent portions and yum. Sunday carvery is popular and again, good solid pub grub. There 's a wheelchair ramp to get into the bar or one of the function rooms, although the turning circle is tight, especially if you 're in a powered wheelchair. The doors are glass and the doorways are standard sized, not the 1 metre required to claim wheelchair accessibility. Wheelchair access to the disabled loo, I found out, is around the outside of the building. No signposts or anything. Right in front of the disabled loo is a path of deep, deep gravel. Guess what happens when you try and take a wheelchair through deep gravel? Yep. You get stuck What 's the point of having a wheelchair accessible toilet with a moat full of gravel that PREVENTS ACCESS? I ended up grounded out, having to shout for help, in full view of a function room full of people. So excruciatingly humiliating The lack of accessible entrances and the gravel moat means I can only rate this 3 stars, which is a shame. In response to James from management 's reply, where he states we are a family run buisness (sic) and not a multimillion pound company may I remind you that if you claim to be wheelchair accessible, you have to meet certain criteria. And you unfortunately don 't. Accessibility reviewers have been asked by Google to check up on claims made by places, hence the update to my review. And whether or not you are a family run business (THATS how you spell it) or a multimillion pound company, you are bound by the same UK laws governing disabled access. And wheelchair users such as myself are 'nice ' see the positive comments above but we 're fed up of being treated like second class citizens when the law says we are EQUAL. So...YOU have a lovely (THATS how you spell it) day and try not to get so butt hurt by criticism. Parking spaces? Good sized car park, not lined out in boxes Accessible spaces? No dedicated accessible spaces, however, see last remark Wheelchair accessible? There is a ramp at the back, however the entrance is through a couple of standard sized doorways with glass doors. This doesn 't meet accessibility criteria of 1 metre width. In addition, it only gives you access to the bar and one of the function rooms. The rest of the complex is down a set of stairs. Toilets? Although I can 't comment on them, since I 'm a wheelchair user. Accessible toilets? Going to have to rate this as a no, since the whole point of accessibility is to allow you to have independence. When you place deep gravel in front of the only entrance to your disabled toilet, you are cutting off the disabled person from their independence! Pay by card? WiFi? Unknown, however I didn 't pick up any potential networks while I was there. "

"Whenever I go to eat out somewhere new or somewhere I've never reviewed I now give an ununbiased review, i also never give 5* as that implies its perfect and everywhere has room for improvement. A very solid 4.5* and will definitely recommend and return. Its been a very long time since I've been here before and my wife and I decided to try here for an anniversary meal. Table was booked for 7pm but we went a little earlier so we could take advantage of the 2 for 1 cocktails which they do between 5pm and 7pm. The man started by doing us both a classic Mojito, which wasnt on the list but he was very accommodating. And very nice it was. We had a few more off the menu before sitting at our table we only had some garlic ciabatta for a starter but it was very nice. My wife had a sloppy Joe and I had a cheese and bacon burger. It all looked fresh and homemade. The chips with skins left on were fresh and not at all greasy. I think the coleslaw was also homemade and again very nice. I'm one for homemade so I was pleased. The burger was meaty and filling in a very nice brioche bun. The young girl serving always had a smile and wanted tp please in any way possible, she was a little nervous so i think she hadn't been doing the job very long. But she was a lot better than some I've encountered with years of experience. The toilets were immaculately clean and i liked the style, only one thing that was a slight annoyance was the wobbly tables. I would like to seen a couple more items on the desert list as i didn't fancy what was listed. We went to a different restaurant last week and Gambas is superior for customer service, cleanliness, price, portion size and general atmosphere. Even though we went quite early it was quiet and Gambas deserves a lot more custom."

"Had many meals at Cafe Cru and always found it to be excellent. Staff attentive, food of good quality, portion size very good and wine list is vast. Recently visited for afternoon tea with family. Pre booked for 7 people, so not a walk in. First off, 40 minute wait for afternoon tea. For pre booked customer......and zero other customers on the terrace at the time. I appreciate it's putting together multiple items, but come on, it's a few sandwiches, scones and dessert items. Onto the food, sandwiches need to be presented flat, not on edge, which results in fillings falling to the plate when picked up. Also, petty though it may be, presenting afternoon tea on a stand meant for 3 people and giving 8 sandwich slices? Scones rock hard, desserts dry chocolate cake, I suspect catering pack macaroons and bland lemon tray bake. The lemon posset was lovely however, something I'd expect as a pre dessert in Cafe Cru. Found a small piece of plastic wrap (cling film) on one sandwich. The lady who presented the food seemed miserable and it felt like an imposition to ask for anything. Not something that's usual at the Imperial as I've found all staff to be attentive and very pleasant in the past. May have been an off day for the lady. Overall, for £17 a head, this afternoon tea will not be repeated for me. Would I still go Cafe Cru for a full evening dining experience, absolutely."
