Took my girlfriend for dinner here, the staff were so kind & friendly, my girlfriend loves partridge but would be unable eat the beetroot that it was served with, The waitress overheard and came back less than a minute later to say that the Chef would be more than happy to modify the dish to suit her needs - she was so impressed and really really loved the modified dish. It was busy for a monday night but we almost felt like the only people there - such was the level of care and attention that we received. Prices were reasonable bearing in mind the very high quality of the food & ingredients. We absolutely loved this place - a real treat

 

Waitress's very off hand !!

It was my Husband & Sister-in-Laws birthday lunch & although the food was excellent the edge was taken off the celebrations by the VERY off hand attitude of the staff. Although they had their cards & presents on display there was never any reference made by staff that they had a occasion on their hands. We especially DID NOT like that one of the waiters was serving in SHORTS !! This is supposed to be an elegant venue NOT A BEACH IN GREECE !!

 

Enjoyable

Before Jamie was famous..if you can think that far back..this restaurant was buzzing..I would have given a rating of 10 for everything. Been once a year since for the past three years and unfortunately standards have dropped in all aspects. It is such a shame.

I will not now go back as I think I have given them a fair crack of the whip.

We went here on Sunday lunch for a special family occasion and were disappointed with both the food and service. There was no atmosphere (no music), the toilets were small and only two for a place that seats over 100 people!, the 3 waitressess were surly, one elderly lady was far too friendly, one of the waitresses was rude to another one and clearly did not like her. The kitchen chef could be heard swearing from our table.

The food was average and not inspiring or inviting. There was so much choice and the menu was a hodge podge of old and new and really looked at though it had been put together from various cook book recipes amalgamated. The cranberry starter was AWFUL - the craberries were soooo sweet and it had one round piece of goat's cheese on top. The plates were cold, the tables crowded. To be honest the restaurant had about 20 more people than it could comfortably accomodate. It was difficult to get in and out of many tables as they were so close together and on two tables the cutlery was up on the mats to accomodate more diners at the table. The first table as you go in could comfortably sit 6 and they had laid it for 8!
