"Faulty Towers at its' best bless them. The food was lovely and having been there many times years before I had no preceeding worries. However, when we arrived the waiters in an effort to be attentive I assume stood next to us and would not leave us be. The staff take it in turns to stand exceptionally close to us at the table waiting for our order. We had only just arrived. Once we had poppadoms they kept on trying to take them away in order to put down the main meal. We were happy to keep the Papadoms alongside the main meal. The manager then came over and said they normally take the plates away to the Papadoms to them being the main meal but his staff told him we wanted to keep them as had nlt finished them. We looked at one another at the table quite puzzled as to why this was unusual. When ordering the mains we needed some time to look at the menu and discuss it between us but they refused to leave the table. I think they were trying to be over attentive but the result was a very awkward and an uneasy experience. We even ask them to give us a few moments and they said yes and continued to stand up against the table waiting for the order.We asked to take the food home that was left and they readily agreed and we thought they would take the food away and bring it back packaged. However, they arrived with carrier bags and boxes without lids and handed them out to us so we on our night out had to then dispense dinners into boxes and lids were requested. All in all it was a rather bizarre experience and not a patch on what it used to be years ago. I'm sure they're just trying to be attentive perhaps but it really was a Faulty Towers experience and exceptionally awkward and bizarre."

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"
