"Went for the full signature tasting menu, but oh dear, most of the dishes were bland and dissapointing. The starter was messy, nice, but impossible to eat without dropping bits on the table like a toddler and there was a nice xx with cheese sauce.We have enjoyed many tasting menus in the past so we are used to the portion sizes, but never has the phrase style over substance been more apt. Normally you look forward to the next course to see what amazing flavours are next, but not this time, more like, oh no, another dish to contend with. Don 't mind paying a lot for good food, but if this has been a special occasion we would have been really dissapointed. We 'd rather have had fish and chips. Staff were good and enthusiastic so paid the service charge. We asked for the bill with three courses left, I 'll ask the manager why? Are we being held hostage by the forces of blandness, let us go, please! It was strange they didn 't even ask why we wanted to leave early. I left looking forward to eating the biscuits I 'd wilfully ignored in the hotel room, yes, really."
