"I booked this table for our first Valentine's date meal. We went into the hotel which looks really nice I was like wow not what I expected nice decore and smartly dressed staff. We then checked in at 1565 at 8.15pm we was taken to our table where we sat for 35minuites before the waiter came and asked if we would like a drink so we ordered. After we relieved the drinks we ordered our food we had 3 starters a main which was to share but was the size of a child's meal for one and we then had a dessert which should of been to share that came out tiny we ate 1st starter then we ate the 3rd then our main came I then asked the waiter in a polite manner why we did not receive our 2nd starter he said so sorry I didn't no so went to find out. He came back 20mins after with our 2nd starter then we had to wait another 25mins for our dessert we where starving after all of this. We was told that it is £40pp with a glass of rose, but as me and my partner do not drink alcohol i called up in the afternoon to swap it for soft drink which I was told that's fine u won't pay for your drink brilliant. Cut a long story short the bill came to £110.37p it's a good job my partner had his card with him as I only took £80 with me this is what we was charged. £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £6.00 ×2 small cokes £8.60 Service charge £15.77 VAT How can they tell you £80 then though all these bills on. I called up the next day as my partner did not want me to make a scene I was on the phone from 8.30am till 3pm on and off to try and sort the problem then to have to message my partners account number, sort code, 16 digit card number, security code and expiry day. Received no email from manager it was all done by text from his personal phone. Very unhappy customer and very unprofessional staff. I would never ever recommended this restaurant to anybody and I will be putting my point across to everybody."

"I’m disappointed to have to write a poor review of this lovely venue, however, I feel I must share our experience. We were there as a group of six for brunch on Sunday. The venue was relatively empty on this occasion, but service was still...very poor. Everything took an age and getting staffs attention was difficult. After our drinks came, consisting of, amongst others, 3 lattes, all of which were different, and ‘fresh’ orange juice which tasted suspiciously watered down, we ordered our breakfasts. After an age, the breakfasts arrived. 3 of the six were wrong. Missing tomatoes, missing hollandaise sauce, missing sausages. We were left to sort out some of the issues ourselves by swapping food from plate to plate and had to wait for other food to come out. There was no apology from the server who I presume was the manageress? She merely remarked that she had ‘not yet had a coffee’ that morning and came up with a **** and bull story about why the order was wrong. There was also no offer of any sauces or wether or not we required additional drinks we had to request these ourselves (lipstick still present on one of the tea mugs). There was also no come back to check if everything was ok with the meals. As for the food itself, the ‘toast’ was horrendously dry (more akin to French toast), the hash brown burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside, and poached egg was served already burst. That said, the bacon and sausage was pleasant, but not worth the price. Getting anyones attention was difficult and there was absolutely no feeling of us being wanted/welcomed there. If you, the owner, is going to ask why we didn’t raise these concerns at the time, you may want to consider that we were there as 3 groups, all of whom hadn’t seen each other in some time, and didn’t want to cloud the pleasant meeting we had with the bad experience of your venue. Also, given the issues with the breakfasts, and amount of time we were there, anyone with an ounce of customer service skill would realise we hadn’t had the best experience and may have tried to rectify it before we left, or at least, apologised for the issues."
