"Very disappointing experience. We decided to have the set menu and both chose the minute steak. We ordered one medium/rare one well done. When they arrived neither was well done and both were very tough and chewy. They looked more like rump steaks then minute steaks. When the waiter asked if we had enjoyed the meal we said we were disappointed with the steaks and asked him to ask the chef what he thought to the portions we left and perhaps comment. After this the waiter just ignored us and we had to ask another waitress to serve us our desserts. When paying we repeated our disatisfication to the cashier and were offered a refund of the price of the vegetables but no real apology. I cannot say we are enthused about having to pay extra for chips and vegetables especially on a set menu. It seems strange that the set menu only includes the 'meat ' and nothing else (apart from 6 cherry tomatoes on a vine! Both the starters and the desserts were fine but the main course let it down. This is the first time we have visited a MPW restaurant and following this experience would not seek to return to either this or another venue. We had hoped that this would be a 'special evening ' however we were left feeling very disappointed. As others have commented perhaps MPW needs to pay a visit to stir things up!"

Har On 6th

➤ United Kingdom, Southampton

Pizza • Steak • Coffee • Salads

"To celebrate my sister in law's graduation we booked here. We were so lucky with the weather as the sun was shining and it was warm enough to be sat outside for food. They had lots of GF items marked on their food menu. I had the Duck salad which tasted lovely, the duck was nice and crispy and was great for a light lunch. I did want some chips as they were marked as GF but unfortunately they were cooked in the same fryer with other glutenous foods which was a shame."

"I had the orange fondant blood orange sorbet for dessert was expecting an orange posset type dessert. It was actually a chocolate orange fondant pudding which isn't clearly stated. Perfect for a chocolate lover but not for me unfortunately. First two courses delicious mind overall a wonderful evening."

"Was a wonderful afternoon Tea, second to none. I have had tea at many other 5* places and this beats them all hands down. The food was amazing and the in house baker is incredible, those scones omg to die for. The staff are lovely, courteous and knowledgeable and it was a special experience. The waiter was lovely and very accommodating to all of our requests. The staff presented themselves professionally and it was a pleasure to have had the high standard you obviously are succeeding in setting. The grounds are looking immaculate, the decor is lovely. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon for my date with my hubby. Can't recommend this enough."

Faraday's

➤ The Waterfront Level Street, Brierley Hill, Dudley, United Kingdom

Pub • Full • Dining • British

"Everyone had a great dining experience, which was enhanced by the friendly and efficient waitstaff. While the menu was somewhat limited, there was still something for everyone to enjoy. The prices were reasonable, especially considering that bar prices were not excessively marked up like in some hotel restaurants."

Menagerie Restaurant

➤ One New Bailey Bridge Street Manchester, M3 5AY, M3 3AH, United Kingdom

Bars • Asian • American • Vegetarian

"It was ok but wouldn’t be in a rush to return. Firstly we wasn’t greeted that great was just told our table wasn’t ready so we then walked over to the bar area. Once seated we was asked about 5 times within the first ten minutes which drinks we would like to order even though we was told a drinks menu was being brought over after 15 mins we was then given a drinks menu then after ordering it took around 15 -20 mins for drinks to arrive we then ordered our starters and mains which took around 40 minutes for the starters to arrive then shortly after we were asked twice if our mains should be brought out after not even being half way through our starter dishes. Once our mains were severed shortly after we was told we had only ten mins left on the table which wasn’t correct as we still had 35 mins after speaking to 4 different waiters and proving my booking time they eventually agreed for us to have the table to the correct time which even then didn’t feel like they wanted us to because of all the rushing at this point we didnt even want to stay. I would say the food was lovely but the staff let the experience down majorly like I say it’s nice but I would be in no rush to return"

Ellis’s Restaurant

➤ Stock Road Stock, Essex CM4 9BE, Chelmsford, United Kingdom

Wine • Cheese • Casual • British

"I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend. The food was delicious, although we did have to send back the prawns because they were not cleaned properly. The service was a bit slow, as we had to ask to order drinks since no one came to take our order. It felt like we had to constantly ask for things instead of being approached to see if we needed anything. However, the staff were friendly, they just need to be more efficient."

Weavers

➤ Newmill, Elgin IV30 4AF, UK, United Kingdom

Wine • Cafés • Scottish • Fast Food

"I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I paid £12.95 for what amounted to just two tablespoons of overcooked rice, which was poorly presented in a small bowl that was only half full. The side salad was actually bigger than the main dish. When the girl at the register asked for my feedback, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the meal, but she simply replied, "Sorry, I'll pass it on," and went ahead to charge me the full amount. I would prefer not to leave a negative review, but the quality of the food was reminiscent of a roadside diner while the prices were those of a restaurant. Additionally, my complaint was handled carelessly. This reflects very poor customer service."

At The Mallyan Spout Goathland

➤ Goathland House, Whitby, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • English • Seafood

"I booked a table in the Restaurant for 27/8/18 on 4/8/18 and this was confirmed. On 26th August I received a booking reminder Confirmation 171 regarding a table for 2 on 27th August at 18.00. This was to be a special meal for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. On arriving we were told that there was no trace of our booking but not to worry there was a table available. The menu presented to us had a VERY limited choice of main courses however we ordered and the food duly arrived, Both courses were swimming in fat/oil and one was barely eatable (Pappardelle Pasta). I was only able to eat a small amount as the fat/oil was overpowering. We decided not to risk a sweet, paid the bill and left. However we did notice that other diners were eating meals that were not shown on the menu we were given. We will certainly not be dining with you again and made our feelings known to to our hosts in Goathland as did another couple who dined in the bar and they also were far from happy with the quality of their meal. To cap it all, because of the fat/oil I was not well afterwards! A bad end to our Anniversary."

Port Lympne

➤ Aldington Road, Lympne, United Kingdom

French • British • English • European

"Awful customer service. We’d booked a table for breakfast after staying in the camping pods for our sons 2nd birthday but they told us even though they had our booking we couldn’t sit inside due to them expecting a school group in half hour. We’d expected to sit indoors and it was quite chilly outside and right next to a shop filled with animal toys which my toddler kept running into which is why we wanted to sit indoors. It’s not clear whether it’s table service or order at the till. We find our owns menus and ordered inside. The coffees were luke warm and I had to ask for sugar and a spoon when they brought them out. They brought 3/4 meals then locked the doors. They didn’t bring out my husbands pancakes and locked the doors. They had forgotten to bring them. The school group never materialised after an hour... awful experience which should have been a nice morning for our sons birthday"

Afternoon Tea Spice Merchant Cookham

➤ 31 High Street, Maidenhead, United Kingdom

Tea • Desserts • Vegetarian • Afternoon Tea

"The food here is truly fantastic, and it's a delightful twist on the traditional afternoon tea! As vegetarians, we were pleased to find a variety of delicious options available. The atmosphere was charming, and the service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend this place! My only suggestion is that, as it's an Indian afternoon tea, I was a bit disappointed there wasn't authentic masala chai served. I hope that during our next visit, we can enjoy properly brewed desi masala chai—it would make the experience absolutely perfect!"

Afternoon Tea at The Grove

➤ 95 Overstrand Road Cromer, Norfolk NR27 0DJ, NR27 0DN, United Kingdom

Cafés • Seafood • European • Fast Food

"Given his is a hotel, it does feel special. It was a shame that we appeared to have two relatively junior staff attend to us and we were left waiting for quite a while to get drinks and order food. Once sat at our table we were served by great staff and the food was excellent. We have starters and mains only as the puddings added £8 and did not appear such good value. Portions were quite small but enough to satiate our appetites. Had I been a big eater I'm not sure id have said the same. Would happily eat there again."

Port Lympne Restaurant

➤ Port Lympne Mansion Port Lympne Wild Animal Park Lympne near Hythe Ashford, Kent CT21 4PD, Shepway, United Kingdom

Pizza • Sushi • Mexican • Fast Food

"Granted it was a Sunday evening in winter but to find the place was a mission. Having reached the security gates (and received directions) the car park was eventually located which involves a couple of hundred metres of cross country work in the dark to the door. Ladies are advised to bring wellies and gentlemen torches and umbrellas. There you will find nobody as the whole place is deserted. If you persevere down the corridor and eventually turn right you will find the restaurant. If the intention is to cater for non residents some form of signage somewhere would be very helpful. this from the main road never mind the car park. Having ordered the wine, not shown the bottle, having it opened, wine sploshed into the glasses from a dizzy height and asked if I wanted the lid on or not was I confess a new experience which added an interesting start to a colourful evening. The menu and wine list is very limited. Having said that the ambience is excellent, the Xmas decorations stunning, the presentation of the food above average and the four dishes we had of at least average quality. The prices are not however average. Either the management should make a serious attempt to train some personnel and make it user friendly to non residents or it should just stay as a hotel restaurant for guests only."
