"Today a few colleagues and I attended Stanmer for the second time on a complimentary lunch as our work Christmas party was so awful. I wish we hadn’t. Christmas party (main points or we will be here all day... shocking service no waiting staff long wait for pre ordered food from set menu, between starter and dinner 1.5 hours and dinner and dessert another 1.5. drinks order never arrived bar had to bring it missing veg from mains including potatoes awful desserts some big some small some over cooked some not cooked at all. drinks bill given when not even finished awful DJ rude bar staff This resulted in us not paying on the night and Stanmer giving us a complimentary lunch. Today’s lunch (only 4 staff came the others didn’t want to waste their time very poor service, was not asked if food was ok, not asked if we wanted more drinks, things being dropped and spilt all over the place. cold food blue beef when told would be medium rare table next to us complained also. staff running round like headless chickens much like the Xmas party. In the end we were sick of waiting for our drinks bill, walked out and paid at the bar. I can safely say I shall not be returning, I shall not be having my wedding reception here and I will never ever recommend this place. What a waste of money doing it up, to have a poor reputation. As a local person and business owner I am thoroughly disappointed and can recommend much better places for you to spend your hard earnt cash. I feel sorry for the woman getting married here next week, good luck to her and I hope we gave her enough warning to make sure the team have correct staffing levels and skills before the big day... they can’t even cope with a Sunday roast."

"We visited Noir on a Saturday evening with friends and on arrival discovered the table is right of the restaurant entrance. Hardly the intimate meal with friends with people in and out all around you. I booked weeks in advance and shocked at this is the best table they had for us saying they are fully booked everywhere. The table itself was wobbly and I requested they fix that before food to avoid accidents. The waitress knew nothing about the dishes and any questions we had in regards to the portion size and whether a Mocktail was fizzy or not. She brought over another waitress to assist who was no better and needed to repeat the order a few times to get it right. It would help if the blazing music was slightly lowered, it’s a restaurant not a club. Now the food, it has to be the worst food we have possibly ever had. The Preeti Puri which is their take on Pani Puri was tasteless. The chaat had a very soggy papri and no crunch. The burgers tasted like cardboard and the worst of all was the Mac and Cheese. A packet Mac and Cheese would have been a better decision as they made theirs very funky leaving a sour taste. Also the need to add Cheetos crisps over food is really not required. Based on the experience I refused to pay service which totalled the bill to £262 instead of the initial £295. Irrespective of the cost which really was not worth it, we have planned an evening out. We booked childcare and merged our diaries, and this did not live up to the even basic of expectations. On informing the waitress I won’t be paying service, there was no openness to ask why or how they could improve the experience. The lack of customer service is astonishing. Save your evening out, don’t bother with this place."
