"We had afternoon tea on 6th December at Bonham 's. As I have a variety of medical conditions I clearly and fully stated my dietary requirements on the booking. On arrival these were checked with the waiting staff, who assured me that the kitchen was aware of them and had complied with them. I requested no meat. When the food arrived, the sandwiches were wholly meat based. We asked for them to be replaced, which they were eventually with soft cheese and cucumber and some vegtable wraps. We had said that fish was ok but were not offered smoked salmon as stated was included on the menu. The scones were of a rock like and dry consistency and insufficent preserves for two people. The cakes included one that was chocolate (specific request no chocolate) and one that included chocolate in the decoration. When this was pointed out to the waiter, I was told 'chef presumed that only one person was asking for no chocolate '. Perhaps next time chef could ask? When I reminded the waiter that I wasn 't just being awkward, I had asked for alternatives because of medical reasons, he said he 'd see what he 'could do '. He returned with two very small macaroons. In addition, service was slow. I was both disappointed and upset. A small discount was negotiated from the bill but it didn 't make up for the appalling migraine that I woke up with the next morning because of Bonham 's failure to treat my request for dietary changes for medical reasons seriously."

"Really really poor. The venue is lovely, but the restaurant would put me off ever using this place for a wedding. Service initially was fine, then 3 drunk ladies sat next to us which I wasn’t bothered about, it’s Xmas after all however they were asked numerous times if they wanted more drinks and if everything was okay, whereas my partner and I were not asked once for any more drinks etc seemed like they knew they’d make their money on 3 girls on the lash so didn’t bother with us. The starters were nice, the halloumi bruschetta was yummy but the Thai cake was literally one which was such poor value for money. Anyway, it came to the roasts I’m pretty sure I’d have eaten better at Toby carvery, st least the yorkshires would have been fresh. The roasts were awful, the but roast I had was not nice at all and looked like dog sick. It came in a soggy giant Yorkshire which looked like a frozen aunt Bessie’s, in fact it all looked like it had either been frozen or come in a bag, nothing fresh at all. And my partner had the pork, which is advertised with CRACKLING, but to call it that is actually laughable, when they actually bring you pulled pork and then a side of pork scratchings and say they’re crackling. I even asked the waitress about the crackling and she pointed to 5 pieces of pork scratchings on my partners plate and said that was is, I said to her they were pork scratchings but she didn’t understand. This was definitely a way to tell it wasn’t fresh as freshly cooked pork would have come with actual crackling on it. Honestly the whole thing was just awful, and to pay £15 for a roast that tastes like a microwave meal is ridiculous. We just wanted to leave, but again due to the service this took having to ask twice to be able to actually pay and leave. Such a shame as the barn/restaurant looks absolutely lovely, but I would absolutely never ever come back"

"today, some colleagues visited and I am am amazed at a free lunch for the second time, as our work Christmas was so terrible. I wish we hadn't. Christmas celebration (main points or we will be here all day. shocking service no waiting staff long wait for pre ordered eating from set menu, between starter and dinner 1.5 hours and dinner and dessert another 1.5 beverage order had never arrived bar to lack it from the netzen including kartoffels horrific desserts some large few little bits about cooked some not cooked at all. lunch today (only 4 employees came the others did not want to waste their time very bad service, was not asked if eating was in order, not asked if we wanted more drinks, that was dropped and spilts over the whole place. cold eating blue bark, if said, would be more rarer table beside us complaining too. the personal runs like headless chickens like the Christmas party. at the end we had tired of waiting for our drinks bill, went out and paid at the bar. I can certainly say I will not come back, I will not receive my high time here and I will never recommend this place. what a waste of money to have a bad call. as a local person and business owner I am very disappointed and can recommend much better places for them to spend their hard money. I'm sorry that the woman is getting married here next week, much luck her and I hope we gave her enough warning to ensure that the team has correct staff levels and skills before the big day. they can't even be finished with a Sunday roast."
