"Really was less than average and not a good experience. To start with customer service left a lot to be desired. Tricky to get bar staff attention considering it was not a busy bar. First beer was flat. Second beer had to be repoured as it had a shot glass floating in it! we ordered burgers for dinner. No cutlery given with this had to wait a fair time to be given it and had to ask the bar staff. I ordered a halloumi burger with chilli jam. it came without the chilli jam and none of the burgers were served with gerkins/jalapeño and relish as stated on the menu. I asked for the chilli jam to be told there wasn't any. I did say it would have been nice to have been told this when ordering. The chips on one of the burgers were actually spilt over me when served, no offer to replace this portion at all just carried on serving. The burger buns were very hard. We did tell the waitress after we had eaten it was very less than average. and were told they would pass this to the chef! Very disappointed!"

There were 9 of us, most had roast dinners, but there wasn't much on the rest of the menu for the others to eat, they were very short staffed and run of there feet... On the whole, we were disappointed with the service. Will not be going there again... Price per person: £20–30 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

We came to town for a meal, ordered possibly the worse meal we have ever had, homemade pie gravy was like water. The chicken burger was Tastless , coleslaw was awful , the drinks were a joke. Would not recommend this establishment . Will never return, in fact had I not paid for meal in advance I would have walked out . Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Our first visit to The Gainsborough and we weren't disappointed! Very friendly service and a good selection of ales...I was really pleased to find one of my favourite beers, Woodfordes Wherry available. We both ordered the roast chicken which was beautifully tender and served with a great selection of seasonal veg (more than we could manage! . The prices are incredibly reasonable and the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. We look forward to returning soon!

"To the wonderful owner and staff at Strawberry Teapot, My story starts with a trip planned to this cafe with my mum for her birthday, and will hopefully help to reassure other wheelchair/powerchair reliant customers : Accessibility: The owner had a conversation with us to tell us about their accessibility (there is a step at the front of the store, but access to the outdoor seating behind the cafe without steps . I use a powerchair, which can't, unfortunately, be lifted up with the help of others, but other smaller wheelchairs will still be able to be lifted up past the step on the front door. Despite this powerchair hurdle, we sat outdoors, which was beautifully arranged with summer plants. Food Allergies/ Dietary requirements: My family is a mix of vegetarian, vegan, and meat eater people, which was no problem at all to the staff at the Strawberry Teapot! We had booked in for an afternoon tea and were served three separate food servings (a three tier cake stand per person , filled with sandwiches, cake, scones, and biscuits. These were delectable, and we were even allowed to take the cakes we didn't eat home with us (they were too good to leave behind! . Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will not hesitate to book again. If I could, I would fetch fresh scones every weekend (they were THAT good . Thank you to all the staff there that helped to make the afternoon tea special, you are all wonderful people, and I have no doubt that you will make every other customer's experience just as wonderful. Couldn't recommend highly enough."
