"I went to the Old Manor for a lunch time meal with my wife and we were served quickly for our drinks... However, that 's where the positive experience ends I 'm afraid. When we received our drinks we were not prompted to order food and it took a good 10 minutes after drinks to get approached for ordering food. Do bear in mind there were only 3 tables on at this time so it wasn 't Busy . We only ordered mains and nothing else, expecting it to be quick. And thankfully we did only order Mains, because if we had ordered a 3 course we would have probably been there for over 2 hours. Fast forward 45+ minutes (Yes you read that right it took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We ordered the Burger and the Chicken Escalope. It doesn 't take over 45 minutes during a quiet time to fry some chicken, chips and grill a burger. When we received our food the only positive really was that it was piping hot. After we started to dig in, the food was mediocre, nothing to rave about (Which is unfortunate, because The Old Manor used to be such a great place to get food. The waiting staff didn 't check up on us for the Post food delivery checkup so we ate it quickly and thankfully there were no issues with it. This isn 't the first time, however that we 've had service this bad. In the last 6 months we 've been 3 times, one of which was Mothers Day and even then it wasn 't the best and service was super slow. Overall it 's an understaffing issue, both front of house and kitchen. I do hope you take measures to improve the service here. As this has caused such a dampener on what should have been a lovely lunch with my wife. Do better."

"not really Thai food lovers. probably one of the least tasty Thai meal I had. I took my friend who was an Olympic visit in the country, in the epsom thai. it was a last night special meal and I was embarrassed in the low quality. the tom yum suppe that we had was really salty and tasted nothing like tom yum tom yum is characterized by its pronounced hot and acidic aromes and fragrant crink grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, limette juice, fish sauce and crushed chilipfeffer. we could just try fish sauce, nothing else. I have certainly missed the galangal and zitruskalk leaves, not cheap, but if they serve Thai food, they should be included.We next had, pad thai and drank. the pad thai was not great and came without a kalk I have never seen before. When I asked after kalk, the waitress still put a disc lemon on the table and went away. I had to use it on my duck to give it some aroma, but this has not improved the gray tasty dish. I love thai and have eaten many in my time, its most often the fragrance of the dishes and even the rice that gives me so much joy. they had used cheap white rice that was hard and certainly not fragrant or even delicious. the waitress seemed irritated and hurried so that we could not really communicate. on the bright side the restaurant is beautifully laid out and the other waitress was friendly and smiling enough, but they were underused. I was here years ago and his changes, not for the good. I really hope they get another cook and bring back the taste to the dishes with fresh ingredients."
