"The Bishop has long been one of our go to locals, especially for Sunday lunch. However, standards of service on a Sunday have declined noticeably over the last few months. Yesterday we booked a table for 4pm, and my partner arrived on time although I was 10 minutes late. That 10 minutes turned out to make little difference. Having ordered drinks, when we tried to order food we were told we would have to wait 20 minutes. In fact, despite the table having been booked for 4pm, we were unable to order till 4.50, with the food not arriving till 5.20 As I hadn 't eaten since 9am, I didn 't dare drink my wine on an empty stomach. AFAIC it is absolutely unacceptable for the whole kitchen to take what appears to be a mid-afternoon break, or if they do, then there needs to be a black-out window where customers can 't book for meals. The food, when it arrived, was delicious but if we ever had to eat again at that time, it would be elsewhere."
