"We had the worst service in a long time at this restaurant, which ruined our evening. The manager did not acknowledge us as guests and our server was extremely slow. We had to repeatedly ask for everything from the beginning to the end, which was very frustrating. Although the food was delicious, there were issues such as warm wine, long waits for water and additional glasses, as well as delays in serving dessert and bringing the bill. The restroom was not on the premises either. This was a disappointing experience compared to other St. John restaurants. We will not be returning, especially since the manager ignored my concerns when I emailed them."

"2nd visit, 1st time staying over..suite was lovely, standalone bath a massive luxury. If it were my place, I 'd possibly dispense with the robot style toilet as its a bit erratic and noisy if you need to go in the middle of the night! Food is incredible, service is incredible. It oozes cool understated luxury. We will definately be back Rooms: We stayed in the 'Burdoch ' room. It 's the one with the copper style bath in the website photos. Very luxurious Food drinks: Al a carte menu was included in our package, we added the extra cheese course which was brilliant (you only need one between two people) you can upgrade to tasting menu and wine flight too."

"Ancient pub in an historic building at the centre of a quiet village. The Sunday lunch we had was excellent my trad beef, the SO's nut roast and our companion's fish chips were all top notch. Everything on my plate which included a delicious onion marmalade was first class. A small menu of well judged dishes which changes, we were told, monthly. A very good range of beer on tap and you could see, from the number of locals dropping in for a pint, that the pub is well used by the community. Added to my list of nearby pubs to drop along to. Vegetarian options: Very good carrot and nut roast. Excellent fish chips"

"Oh my goodness, the food at this restaurant was exceptional! We started with the prawn noodle dish to share as a starter, followed by half a lobster and chips each for our main course. For dessert, we enjoyed some delicious doughnuts. We also tried a couple of cocktails which were fantastic. The staff were incredibly helpful and even helped us find a taxi when we couldn't get through to any numbers. Despite its unassuming exterior, I would highly recommend booking in advance as the restaurant was quite busy on a Tuesday evening when we arrived at 5pm. The quality of the food and service was on par with Michelin-starred restaurants. I would even travel from London just to have dinner here. I can't praise this place enough - we only have a few more days here, but we will definitely be coming back before we leave. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5."

"The location of the restaurant was beautiful, both inside and out. Our seating area was lovely and we were warmly welcomed, being the only men enjoying afternoon tea. The two staff members who took care of us were fantastic, they were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The tea and food were delicious, but it was the atmosphere and the staff that truly made our experience feel special. We felt like royalty and will definitely be returning soon."

"Enjoyed a dinner for two last Saturday night. There was a good number of tables serving couples and small groups and then one large table of or so. Good atmosphere, lovely decor. Starter and mains were slow coming but myself and hubby were not in any rush so this was not a complaint for us. Food was very tasty for starters we the ham hock with nice pickled veg and the ribs which were a very generous size. Mains then fillet steak surf turf and ribeye steak, both cooked as ordered and we found the sides of fries and veg good. Dessert then we shared the triple chocolate gateaux which was delicious. Overall very good meal"

"First time I actually wonder into Luton while waiting for someone to land on the local airport. Found this place on Trip Advisor and tried it for breakfast and was not dissapointed! Realy good food, with a twist and quite varied, they seem to have something for everyone in a medium to small menu. The expresso coffee was good as well and the staff top notch. Nice music, to cheer you up in the morning as well."

"visit with the family after reviews as small dog owners should be a fantastic place. Apart from us we were not sure if there is a table service, so we had to order at the cash desk. lady had a friendly art. helpful and informative. the place is small, but well-spered for like 5 small grp. toilet was not sure whether we can use it or its only storage place. the haloumi burger was amazing. fresh rocket sweet and hot sauce plentiful seeds and good taste. pancake is big 1 enough for 2 children. I can see the dog friendly side next to an empty water plate. maybe we went too early, the staff was too busy with delivery orders"

"We spent two nights at Wilton Court, enjoying bed and breakfast along with evening meals. This establishment is exceptionally well-managed, providing a warm and professional service from check-in to check-out. The public areas and bedrooms are not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated. All the front-of-house staff are helpful and friendly, and our experience suggests that the same goes for the behind-the-scenes team as well. Housekeeping is commendable, and the chef and kitchen staff deliver excellent quality meals. Having stayed for a night several years ago, we were excited for this return visit, and once again, we were not disappointed. There were no unexpected charges on our bill at checkout. We highly recommend this place for a short stay of one or two nights. We appreciate the variety of locally sourced produce used, which is also reflected in the wine list. One last note: it’s refreshing to find a country hotel with reasonably priced drinks at the bar."

"Had a party here recently (renting out the top floor) and can't thank the venue and staff enough for a fantastic evening. Leading up to the event, they were really responsive answering all our questions promptly and everything was completely transparent. On the night itself, the staff were brilliant and fun, the venue itself is absolutely lovely and very photogenic (bonus points for the stage) my only minor critique is to be able to have the music a bit louder but 10/10 evening would recommend to anyone."

"The fried chicken at this restaurant is delicious and comes in generous portions. I ordered the small skillet with fries, which was more than enough for just one person. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of fried chicken."

"Fantastic service, as usual, lovely friendly staff. I miss some of the old favourites from the menu, eg calamari, fish and chips, triple cooked chips, but understand why the menu has been altered. We will be back, one of our favourite locations for lunch."

"I had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Halfway Inn. There were two of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed a traditional Sunday roast. We started with the tempura prawns, which were light, crispy, and delicious. The roasts were plentiful, and I have to give a special mention to the gravy—it was absolutely outstanding. Although we were quite full, we couldn't resist trying the sticky toffee pudding, which was exceptional, especially when paired with the homemade fig honey ice cream. The selection of wine and ale was lovely, and the friendly service in a cozy setting made it a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 4."

"Our evening in the pantry was a completely successful experience. The service was attentive and courteous without being intrusive. The food was of excellent quality and demonstrated the creativity and skill of the kitchen team. We were particularly impressed by the carefully compiled wine list, which had something for every taste. The ambience in the pantry is truly unique. The comfortable armchairs, attractive art on the walls and mood lighting created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The background music was perfectly coordinated with the overall concept and contributed to a relaxed evening. We are already looking forward to our next visit to the Pantry and can recommend this restaurant to anyone who values good service, great food and an exceptional ambience."

"My wife, daughter 2 grandkids we're on a trip to London and rang to book after seeing the very favourable reviews. We wanted to book a table for 5 people at 7.30 but we asked to make it 7.15. No problem. we duly arrived at 7.15 but were told our table would not be ready for 10 mins. Again no real problem except it was in fact 20 minutes. Was a bit surprised that no apology was forthcoming but surely they would ensure we were looked after. We were given menus and asked if we wanted water and we said yes tap water would be fine. Two bottles of mineral water were provided but again no real problem. But that was the last we saw of anyone for a further 15 minutes when I managed to get the attention of the waiter to take our order. We ordered a bottle of wine and some soft drinks but said we'd like to order the food now as well. We got as far as the starter but we told that the items we chose used pizza base and they had none. Does that also mean that you have no pizzas? I asked. No sorry was the reply. Since pizza was explicitly what the kids wanted and we had been there some considerable time, were not told when we were given the menus that there was no pizza based items and that we were not made to feel welcome, we left feely very disappointed and hungry."

"Lovely range of good quality homemade food. Great butternut squash and carrot soup And toffee pudding was worth every calorie . Very attentive serving staff. Room was well spread out for Covid until a party of 10 arrived and all sat together. Very hard for staff to split them and adhere to rules. This made me feel quite uncomfortable. As we were just leaving it was fine. However overall we all had a delicious fresh meal and we will be back for sure Even got 30% off due to a promotion !"

"A little lacklustre dinner on a Sunday. I have no basis of comparison, so I'm judging based on my palate. We ordered the tasting menu, £35pp X 2. The first wave was toasted corn and pork belly. Both were very salty. The second was seabass cerviche and palm heart. Both very sour! The third wave of beef and octopus were pretty decent. Loved the spiciness of the beans and chorizo. The beef was done well. The last course of pumpkin doughnut and cinnamon ice cream had a good balance. Service was below average. It was difficult to get the waitstaff's attention. When we did one of them came with a dissatisfied look. The night was busy and we struggled to have an fluid and enjoyable meal. I'd try other Peruvian and pass a more just review in the future."

"We had booked a table for 7.30 pm dinner and after waiting in line we’re shown to a table. The table next to us was very very loud and discussing business on a Saturday night. We could not hear each other above their din. After 30 minutes a waiter came to take our order and we asked for a quieter table. We were told to walk outside to the terrace. Essentially this is an area in the thoroughfare of the hotel (inside) behind a wooden low fence. After another 20 minutes I went to find a waiter who said he would come out to take our order. After another 10 minutes I went and found another server. The waiter I had seen before recognised me and hit his hand on his head and came out to us. The starter was delicious but we had to chase up the bottle of wine and never got our glasses of water. When the main course was delivered by a lady she said “Bon appetit” but we said we couldn’t eat without cutlery. She promised us some but we never saw her again. After 5 minutes my husband went and found cutlery because his fish and chips were getting cold. My shepherds pie was tasteless, lots of potato and a thin layer of lamb in a watery tasteless gravy. Nobody ever came back to check on us. They add a discretionary 12.5% tip for a service charge which I didn’t think they deserved so we took the bill to the desk and told the manager of our experience. He blames the management for trying to reduce staff and told us it was our own fault because we voted for Brexit. I pointed out to him I didn’t. He said it is like that every night. He removed the service charge and 20% off the food which was fair but next time I stay at the Sofitel I will bring a picnic and save a pot of money and disappointment."
