"The food is lovely here, however they need to fix the service aspect of the restaurant as it was absolutely atrocious. There were 3 waiting staff, all young boys and another lad dressed in black who was trying his best, there was no direction, there was no management support, there was a man who was suited who popped in twice but never stayed and helped, the poor young boys seemed out of their depth. We ordered our meal when they came to take our initial drinks order as already I observed they seemed to be undirected. The starters and mains arrived timely, then when they came to take away our empty main course plates we asked for dessert menus, 45 minutes later we were still waiting, we managed to get one of the boys attention as they all go around with their heads down, not observing what is happening around them at all. We then were left with our menus for another 15 minutes, which at this point I had had enough, I said to the young lad in black when we got his attention and he came over that no we now didn't want any desserts, as we had been waiting about an hour to get them. He shrugged, went and got the bill and put it on our table, no apologies, no interaction, nothing, customer service non existent. I went and complained to the hotel receptionist on leaving, she apologised and said she would pass onto management. I hope she did, as the service received did the hotel a total dis service, and I and my family are local and regulars here."

"Went for afternoon tea. £25 for two people. Poor start to the experience, we asked the girl serving us some basic questions about the menu and she couldn 't answer a single one, so she checked with another member of staff, this happened 4 times and eventually she gave up and sent over the other member of staff and we finally ordered. The afternoon tea consisted of 1 sandwich each (cut into 3 fingers) so only 1 flavour each (I had egg, my husband had salmon and cream cheese) hardly a selection of sandwiches as per the menu. 1 small cherry scone each with jam and cream (whipped not clotted) and 3 very small petit fours each. For £25 I would have expected a lot more food, perhaps a slice of cake (they had tonnes of homemade cakes on the counter which looked nice). Food was very basic, the egg mayo was just that, no cress etc. Salmon and cream cheese had very little filling. Cherry scone was bland and stodgy in the middle. Petit fours were small and nothing exciting. Overall for what we had I would have only paid around £10 £15 max. The man who eventually served us was a very pleasant guy, and he seemed a little embarrassed by our response to the lack of food, he did offer to get the chef to make us some additional sandwiches if needed. The place was very quite and I felt like the other guests were starring at us so I didn 't want to make a scene so rather than take him up on the offer we paid up and left. This was meant to be a special treat to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, but instead we were left disappointed and hungry."
