"We went to the brasserie for Sunday dinner on recommendation. I must say I was disappointed. Going into it is very beautifully decorated, but it lacks atmosphere. Almost all other diners had afternoon tea. We ordered beef with a selection of sauce and peppermint. We also ordered jam pork. Food came and we asked for English mustard and apple sauce. The waitress came back with French mustard. When asked, she went back to check and said there was no English mustard and no apple sauce. Beef was drowned in Gravy, no peppercorn sauce and no cauliflower cheese. We asked for cauliflower again. When it arrived, it was rock-hard and looked like it was naked in the microwave. It was impossible. The beef was good, but it had cord in it. The pig was OK. Small and a little tasty. All through the meal there was a constant stream of employees who led our table. Usually you do nothing but a few carrying bowls of rattling dishes. In Fairness, when we talked to the superior Bev, she was very apologetic and fair. I had booked a table for my parents Diamond wedding day, but canceled it to look for somewhere else. It's a shame that we ate in the Wivenhoe House before and the food was very good."

4 of us had a delightful meal, the meal itself was very tasty, they catered for my gluten intolerant friend and all of the staff were very friendly.
Alan
Nice place to eat. A good choice in the menu and everything we had was really good. The staff were helpful and attentive and knew what the dish of the week and soup was without having to ask anyone else.

Great service, food was fantastic, I had the monks fish special, probably the best fish dish I have ever tasted, though next time I would ask the chef to leave the crystallised lemon peel out of the dish, as I like my sweet left for the desert, will definitely be returning

It's all right, except for problems in the kitchen. Reception and service was excellent, but who needs to buy the beef in the roast for better quality. The four parts we had were all hard and crisp. The Yorkshire pudding was also overcooked/burned, which is all a real shame, as the location and service was great.
