Everything is about this place is good. We love the ambience and the staff are outstanding - friendly, attentive, perfect! A lovely place to meet up with friends. The food was good (3 of us had the flat-iron steak and chips - both delicious) and there was a set vegetarian menu. It is nice and quiet so good for chatting. I would strongly recommend.

We went as a party of 10, including 3 children. The maitre immediately suggested the special dishes for the children (burgers) which was very much appreciated. Food was excellent, if rather pricey, but the service was very slow - much slower than we had experienced on the couple of occasions when we had eaten here before. Ambience was good - we were very nicely seated at the far end of the restaurant, but the noise level was still quite high.

We had a lovely experience at The Manor for Afternoon Tea. The food was delicious and you could change the sandwiches you did not want for more of others you did want. Nothing was too much trouble. The scones and cakes were yummy and we got a box to take away anything we could not finish. The atmosphere was so nice as all the Christmas decorations were up. Eleanor serving us was so helpful and made the experience even better. Thank you.
