"I booked afternoon tea for as a gift for my mum for mother’s day. We arrived slightly early but the restaurant wasn’t busy so we were seated. The host who took us to the table did not tell us anything, just sat us down. We waited for about mins for a waitress to ask if we wanted water. We were then asked by separate members of staff if we had any dietary requirements. We then waited another minutes and another waitress came to take our order without us having received any menus. We ordered, we were told we could have tea, champagne or a cocktail. We waited, our drinks took another minutes to arrive, and came in separate parts. We were then told our menus were being printed, which seemed bizarre having ordered and being sat there so long. When the menus arrived it transpired you were able to order from a selection of teas, coffees and various cocktails. It also showed the dishes. There were a couple of things my dad didn’t like, which we asked to swap. I was told that maybe this would be ok, if we were quick, as the order had been rung through. It was at this point I reminded the waitress that we had been expected to order off a nonexistent menu, so what did they expect? The food came, it was ok but nothing special. The service was just terrible. There seemed to be no communication between the staff, no desire to make us feel welcome and no attention to detail. For something which was meant to be a treat, I was very disappointed and would not waste my money going again"

"We were greeted by a friendly staff member who directed us to the bar area until we were ready for our table. The decor and ambience was very warm and inviting with comfy sofa areas. We were then shown to our table. We were asked to pre-order our food the day before our booking but we asked if we could add a couple of sides whilst we were there. We asked for some Halloumi fries as a side only to be told they are a starter and we can 't add starters ..we reiterated they were requested as a side to then be told I don 't think you understand, the halloumi fries are a starter and come from a different side of the kitchen ......what? We asked for some chips as a side as well which must come from the other side of the kitchen as that was fine. Five minutes later, the 'manager ' came back to say we could have halloumi fries, how many portions did we want. The food arrived....with the halloumi fries that were cold and sent back. We ordered some more drinks which took ages to arrive as did the sides of chips. On the whole the food was ok although the battered fish tasted like it had been frozen. After successful desserts we asked for the bill which arrived with a ten percent service charge already added on to it which should always be a discretionary charge in my opinion. We decided to pay the full bill including service charge as there were ten in our party and the service was intermittent as opposed to bad. The food and service was no more than ok which is a real shame as the location, decor and ambience suggest it could be so much better."
