"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"

"I booked Sunday lunch for my husband's birthday and asked for a table for 4 adults, 1 child and a high chair for a toddler. When we arrived, not only was the table not ready, it hadn't even been wiped clean and yet, we were the first customers to arrive at 12.15pm. Did that mean nothing had been done since breakfast time? The waitress had to go and look for the high chair we'd asked for in advance. Worse was to come. Nobody approached us for a drinks order and the waitress only gave one of our party a proper food menu, everyone else got drink and snack menus only. There was hardly anything on the menu anyway and certainly no Sunday roast, the one thing we'd been hoping for on a Sunday... The waitress had to ask us to repeat several parts of our order because there was a conference party arriving in reception that were quite noisy. The layout of the restaurant is open plan straight onto Reception quite strange really and not at all conducive to a quiet family meal. Then, we were told that the fish platter two of us ordered was no longer available.... although it was only 12.30pm and we were the first people there, so how come there was none left? If the fish ran out on the Saturday, surely it should have been taken off the menu? I was really annoyed because the lack of care and attention, the noise levels and the lack of anything decent on the menu spoiled my husband's birthday, so I decided to vote with my feet and told the waitress that none of this was good enough. This was meant to be a birthday lunch, nothing was ready, nothing we wanted to eat was available, so we were leaving. She looked shocked, but didn't even have the grace to apologise on behalf of the venue. We drove a mile down the road to a much more welcoming venue called The Swan and had a beautiful lunch there with friendly, welcoming staff...and it was much cheaper than the significantly overpriced dishes we saw on the menu!"
