"I had heard such great things about this place and my partner decided to book a meal here for my birthday and with it being my first time at this restaurant i was expecting alot more, i had contacted the Facebook page whilst still at the restaurant a week ago and i am yet to receive a response, my comments are below uch a shame. The location and scenery are beautiful however for my first time at this beautiful restaurant and im extremely disappointing . The service was awful. I attended with my partner for my birthday and we had booked a table but on arrival we had to ask where we were to be seated in which we were advised to take a seat anywhere then we waited for ages for menus which we then had to go to the bar to ask for them. My partner arrived back at our table with the menus which where printed pieces of paper, that wouldn't normally bother me but the price you pay you expect more than this. We then had to go to the bar to order our meal as none of the staff attended our table for a long time. Whilst waiting for our food a few coupled advised us that we need good luck as they have had terrible service. When our food arrived we waited a considerable amount of time without any cutlery so my partner had to ask for it. The whole service wasn't good at all and its such a shame as its a beautiful place. I expected alot more and with it being my first time here and it being my birthday i am very disappointing. Apologies but we even had to go to the bar to settle the bill when another 2 couples had to complain about the service and had to leave without their food after waiting 2 hours for their food and it wasnt very busy. We waited over 10minutes at the bar to pay our bill to which the girls didnt even know what we had and had to ask us what we ate and one girl was very rude and didnt seem to want to be there she even had holes in her tights. Such a shame, they didnt even knwo what we had to drink let alone the food and when we advised our table number the staff had to go out to check? please may i have a response"

"Attention to detail makes all the difference and sadly The Cavendish food frequently finds itself lacking. We ate in the Garden Room which is lovely. We ordered two main courses: Superfood Salad with nuts and seeds (only there were no nuts nor seeds on the dish) and the Fish of the Day which was a lemon sole with new potatoes and a watercress 'salad '. The fish was very nice (on the bone as I like it) but the watercress was at best a garnish ie very very little of it and it was the micro watercress, which was fine had there been enough of it to constitute a 'salad '! Add to that that it was yellow. I sent it back and an even smaller garnish appeared after some time. They had clearly picked out a few greenish leaves from the residue and the waitress confirmed that they had thrown the rest of the micro-watercress away in the kitchen because it was past its sell-by. But it should never have been served in the first instance and it certainly should be renamed as a 'garnish '. The dish was totally unbalanced: it was protein (fish) and carbs (potatoes) , no green veg and certainly not a 'salad '. When we pointed out that the Superfood salad was missing two key ingredients, the waitress returned with a half ramekin of a mush of seeds. It was difficult to see if there were any nuts in there but if there were, they had been whizzed to a grain. The worst thing was, it was sweet!!!! It was as if it had been prepped to go alongside the muesli at breakfast! We love the place but the food generally lets it down. What a shame."
