"My partner and I visited Spaghetti Tree with another couple, and we were seated by the window without a reservation. We ordered some beers and waited for our friends to arrive. After about 15 minutes, they came and ordered a bottle of red wine, along with some olives and a bread basket. We started enjoying our drinks and food when, unexpectedly, a staff member approached my partner and asked her to remove her baseball cap. Confused, my partner questioned why we were only being informed of this now, especially since no one mentioned it when we entered. Had we known, we would have opted to go to the pub next door instead. It felt unfair, especially since we had communicated that we were a group of four and were seated in a prominent spot. Reluctantly, my partner removed her cap, feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the evening because she hadn’t styled her hair as she would have preferred. The staff then offered us the option to either move to a less desirable table at the back of the restaurant, where no other patrons were seated, or stay at the window if she removed her hat. It was disappointing to see that there were only three tables occupied in the entire restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet our expectations either. Given this experience, it's unlikely that we will return. We've dined here before, but after this visit, we certainly won’t be coming back."

"I was disappointed to find out that we did not receive the 25% discount on our large meal when using my membership card at the restaurant. It appears that the discount only applies to 3-course meals now. This comes after receiving an email stating that my membership fee has increased to £48 per month, presumably to help fund the new pool. We will not be returning for Sunday dinner anytime soon, especially since the carvery is now served to you instead of being self-serve like it was in the past."

"the inhabitants of chelsea and fulham can appreciate themselves fortunate, not only for the obvious reasons (it is one of the most prosperous against in london, but also because the imperial recently opened at the western end of the king’s road! Previously a pub, known as the imperial arms, is now a modern restaurant in a stunning Victorian building that was completely renovated by the owners alan turtill and kate macwhirter. I was kindly invited to check the special brunch menu of the restaurant so I was there a few weeks ago with my man. we took the overground of clapham junction for just one stop to the imperial wharf and went to the restaurant less than ten minutes. we were greeted by the beautiful front of the house staff who took away our moms and accompanied us to a table on the back of the restaurant. the room swarmed in the sunlight that came through from the window wall, while before us the open kitchen with the chefs was at work. the imperial is beautiful with a lot of love for detail furnished: the table top with colorful small pots salt and pfeffer; the copper lamps above the kitchen bar; the color scheme with small yellow and blue details repeated here and there; and my favorites aesop hand wash in the toilets! we decided to order two glasses of prosecco to celebrate the discovery of this beautiful place and awake our appetite! the new brunch menu of the chef cook tom hope contains the benefits of coriander chilli corn fritters with fender and bacon; crushed avocado lemon, tomato grilled halloumi on sourdough and egg white omelette, spring onion herbs but we decided to taste two classics: the full english breakfast and the eggs benedict. I loved how the dishes were presented and the beautiful colors of eating against the blue tellers. my full english with rührei, speck, sausage, mushroom, black pudding, tomaten and roasted brot was delicious! each element was tasty without exaggerating the other. we treated ourselves dessert, but only one who shared us, as we were already full of breakfast. the brotpudding was delicious! it was the second time I had one in my whole life, so don't count me as expert, but it was really nice. one of the owners, kite, was in the restaurant to ensure that everything went smoothly and even the tables served. I had the chance to thank her for the invitation and tell her I had a great time. she was happy to know that I loved eating and invited us to stay for a Sunday! I could see that beautiful roasts come from the kitchen and it was really hard to resist the temptation. but there will be another time, sure!"

"Food was good. We had a three-course Christmas menu for £19 each with a free glass of presseco so thought the value was good. Service was very poor considering it was just two of us. Waited almost an hour between starter and main course and it wasn't even busy. Plus we had pre-ordered a couple of days before which we thought was the whole idea of not having to wait."
"Sadly the whole experience was disappointing , the chefs table was missing quiet a few items that were not replenished no prawn cocktails and no chocolate muffins to mention only 2 lines we waited about 25 minutes for the mains after finishing what starters were available . I had to ask 2 different members of staff for plates for the starters and the room was packed with people shouting as they watched the rugby which is fair enough but not the environment you want to be eating food with children feeling quite threatened by all the shouting . Have previously enjoyed the whole experience but have never been there when a major sporting event was on . Not a great time with a lot of hassle to get a below average dining experience. Have always told friends and colleges how good the village is but feel somewhat different now ."

"Went here with my partner for a activity superstore gift someone had bought us as a present for dinner. When we arrived after our long journey we had to use the toilet facilities, shock horror to find the disabled only women toilet) was absolutely disgusting. Paper towels everywhere and ladies toiletries. I had to speak to the receptionist and she got onto it straight away. toilet was cleaned) but first impression it was a bit late. Once we was shown to our table we were given a very basic menu choice. I ordered the seabass which to be told they didnt have but gave me a choice of different fish, the food came and my partners chicken was very dry from the off, but the salmon was lovely. Soup was nice for starters and dessert for my partner was lovely. Staff were great and welcoming. Just too basic menu choice and would have preferred the main menu and paid extra if needed and not worth the money, had better."

"Really nice bar! Visited after having food elsewhere. Friendly staff who explained the rules regarding covid, we had to check in using the qr code. All the tables were nicely spread out so it didn't feel cramped. You order and pay for everything using the app (there is another qr code at the table which takes you to the download in your app store). It was simple to use but you did need to create an account before proceeding to the payment which was a little annoying. This seems to be the norm everywhere though. We went midweek and there was 50% off cocktails which we took advantage of. Quick service to the table, I liked not having to stand around waiting at the bar for your order."

"Awful from start to finish. Food was horrible was in there over 2.5 hours service was slow. Would not recommend Sunday lunch now they have changed it from a carvery. Starters tiny desserts poor choice and Sunday lunch inedible. Had to wait on several occasions for them to put enough starters out and desserts. We were a party of 9 and 4 meals came out 20 mins later than everyone else’s. Food items missing from most people’s meals. Waitress was very apologetic and so was the manager and we didn’t pay for the meal. Was for my husbands birthday which was ruined. Very disappointed and won’t be returning unfortunately and we have been numerous times in the past and loved it!"

"I visited pub and grill bar in other village hotels, but that was my first visit. to say I was disappointed, is an understatement. I booked well in advance for table. when I arrived, no table was booked, even if one of the employees brought my reservation on his tablet and I had previously confirmed my reservation. I was told to find one table and sit there. as they want, it was very busy because of football and rugby. After we wait for table to become available, we have settled. After waiting for someone to come to us (what they did not) I went to cash and explained that we included our meal in our stay and which menu we could use. I was told that they always used and one was pointed to me. we choose our eating and patiently waited at the bar for 15 minutes, just to say that we had the wrong menu it was a set menu from which we had to choose. I went back to my party of 6 and asked her to choose again. back to the bar for another 15 minutes waiting and ordered our food. after a 35-minute waiting period, our starters came out. After we had waited five minutes for my starter who was humous, we ate. our main meal began minus the cheese on our burgers, for which we paid extra. my daughter waited for her 10 minutes after we got ours. when we ask where her meal was, we were told that we were sorry we forgot to get out. when she got her steak, they had forgotten the pfeffer sauce. ! after completing our main course 2 of my party had paid for dessert, it was obvious to wait after another 20-minute, it was not appearing. until now it was 10.45 we had our table for 8 o'clock booked. when I approached a worker, no apology or explanation was offered about the series of failures. we had booked a night to meet the family. to celebrate the 30th birthday of my daughter. that has proved to be a sniff. I'm sure they can understand why my party of 6 was so disappointed."

"Been going here since it opened and always felt it well priced, imaginative food and good ingredients. Last night it could only claim to be one of the three. The flavour of the scallops in my starter was killed stone dead by the spicyness of...the XO sauce which was good in itself, but the scallops belonged nowhere near it. My main of fish cakes and prawns was a disaster due to the poor quality of the ingredients. My hake a grey colour and mushy, not the firm white glistening piece of fish I would expect for a dish. The prawns also soft and mushy, clearly not fresh. The fish cakes were in fact potato croquettes fish in these was nonexistent. My dining partners dish of lamb was dry and as a slo cooked piece of meat one would expect the opposite. I suspect not freshly made for it to eventually dry out like that. His gnocchi hard from being re heated and fried, the element of mint was there but fading. Service was average as our table piled up with empty glasses and an empty water bottle I had to pile them to the side to make it obvious. White and rose wines are chilled to death. Its a rather annoying trait that they swirl ice in each glass to make it cold then pour refrigerated wine into it. A Viognier I ordered was barely recognisable. The rose I suspect oxidised by living a long lonely life in the fridge. It was drinkable though. Trip advisor need to update prices here. Starters are and mains start at for chicken and for veggie option but most with fish and chips Gone is the early bird menu."

"The portion sizes are quite decent and offer good value for the price. I did find the naan a bit small, but that’s a minor detail. I would love to see a Tandoori option on the menu, though I understand that local preferences might not lean towards Tandoori dishes. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, giving me a nostalgic feeling reminiscent of India. The music is soothing and enhances the dining experience without being intrusive. The service staff is friendly and very polite, contributing to a wonderful experience during Diwali night. Thank you!"

"I had high expectations going into Carluccio's, as it's in a wonderful location and is a beautiful, ambient restaurant. Myself and my S.O went on a Thursday night, and there were only a few other couples in there, making it very quiet and the service on point. Our waiter was, however, hard to understand because he maintained a very low speaking volume which came across as a nuisance. I didn't think there was a huge amount of choice on the menu, but we still managed to pick out things we liked. I treated myself to the Summer Garden soft drink (apple, elderflower, and mint lemonade), and it was delicious. Like a softail Mojito, very refreshing and zingy! The food, I must say, was pretty disappointing. My Sicilian Arancini starter (fried rice balls stuffed with mozzarella) just tasted odd. There's no real way to describe it, the flavours and textures weren't marrying, it was bland but also left a bitter aftertaste. Very strange, give this one a miss. For mains, my S.O's beef ragu was delicious! He wasn't fond of the al dente linguine but I thought it was perfect. I had the seafood linguine, a dish I've had at other places, and by comparison it was a little lacking. The shellfish were cooked to perfection and it was a great size serving, but again the overall flavour was bland. I would be willing to give Carluccio's as a whole another chance in future, but will be trying different dishes the next time around."

"I had a great time at this restaurant. My girlfriend thought her steak was overcooked (difficult to judge reliably). The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, giving us space but also knowing when to check on us. I personally thought my food was cooked perfectly, but my friend had a different opinion. Overall, I still enjoyed my experience and can't blame the service at all. However, because of differing opinions, I can't give it a 5-star rating. It's true that you can't please everyone!"

"The ambiance was pleasant, but the presence of a large, rowdy crowd—mostly men watching football—was quite distracting at times, making it hard to hold a conversation without raising our voices. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend this venue for a family Sunday lunch. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and it was well-designed and beautifully decorated. The desserts were delightful, although they were a bit pricey, much like the drinks."

"I recently tried the Birley Arms breakfast for the first time, after enjoying their Lite Bite lunches twice before. I must say, I was not disappointed - it was excellent. We arrived just before they stopped serving breakfast, so it was quiet during the transition from breakfast to lunch. Two of us ordered the large full English breakfast, which included perfectly cooked poached eggs, delicious sausages, bacon, Bury black pudding, beans, a well-cooked tomato, and toast. Everything was freshly prepared, tasty, and hot - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The third member of our group ordered the Rosti, which came with smoked salmon, spinach, poached eggs, and Béarnaise sauce on a rosti. She couldn't stop praising it, saying it was one of the best breakfasts she had ever had. All the meals were nicely presented and the service was attentive but not overbearing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place."

"The food was delicious, so many thanks to the kitchen team. Unfortunately, the service was bad. The employees were either untrained, trained or simply didn't care about their jobs, except for the person responsible, who was very organized and efficient. When we arrived at our pre-booked meal, we had to wait 10 minutes first while they had a staff meeting. Then another employee came too late. The person who led the meeting told them that it was not acceptable in the restaurant. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks to be told by the staff: “We don’t have Pina to make your drink”. We were in many village hotels and had food, but unfortunately this time it was trained by the staff who did not seem interested or as previously said. Thank you to the kitchen staff and the manager for sorting us. Our feedback is passed on to the hotel when we receive the call from the manager."

"When we arrived for our prepaid meal, we were made to wait for 10 minutes as the staff held a personal meeting. Afterward, another employee arrived late. The individual leading the meeting told them it was unacceptable to be unprepared on the restaurant floor. We waited another 15 minutes just to order our drinks, only to be informed that they didn’t have the ingredients to make a piña colada. We have dined at several village hotels, but this experience was marred by the lack of training and care shown by the staff. Our thanks again to the kitchen staff and the manager for addressing our concerns. We will be providing our feedback to the hotel when we hear back from the manager."

"Service was appalling, especially as the restaurant was not even half full on a Saturday night. Staff were not attentive and were just standing around chatting to each other, it took over 20 minutes to ask if we wanted a drink and then longer for them to bring it out leaving the wine on the side to get warm. We were not asked if we were happy with the food or if everything was ok. Food was mediocre tasted like it came out of a jar would not have put the price tag on the food we had. Would not recommend to anyone and will never be coming back."

"To be honest, we were somewhat disappointed in our visit meal and it was no where near as good as the carvery style sunday menu we thought we were going to get. There was not much choice at all for starters or desserts on the 'help yourself ' part and there was a shortage of desserts, only 2 to choose from a plain cheesecake and yogurt pot type desert. Also, no spoons available for the soup or deserts. The Sunday lunch itself was quite standard, nothing special. I enjoyed the beef but my husband wasnt impressed with the processed turkey he got. Staff were pleasant enough but we cleared our table of both starters and mains ourself as no one seemed to want to take our used plates away do we ended up putting them onto another table or on the bar! Only positive was that I had purchased a voucher so instead of £50, we spent just over £25. I most certainly wouldn 't pay full price for what we got and wont rush back for sunday lunch. Very disappointed as our kids loved it last time with the choice and especially the ice cream machine but this has all been changed and not for the best."

"I made a reservation for a large group in advance for a Friday lunch. The only time slots available were 11am or 1pm, so we chose 1pm. The bar staff seemed very busy and stressed when we arrived, and they were not happy about our group ordering individually. I had called over a week in advance to inquire about pre-ordering for a large group, but the person I spoke to seemed confused and said they would call me back, which never happened. We had difficulty ordering food together at the bar and splitting payments, so it took a long time for us to order through one staff member. As a result, the food arrived gradually and some dishes took a long time. Although we were warned about this upon arrival, we would have expected better staffing for such a large booking. It would have been better if the booking system had offered a midday option to avoid the lunchtime rush. The food was good and reasonably priced, but I would not recommend booking for a large group or going during peak times."
