    We were disappointed with the very bland Indian food. However, the staff worked hard on a very busy night - drinks were slow coming but food was fast out. We may have enjoyed a different meal type more.

    A good afternoon tea. The food was great and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. The room it was in was a little soulless, it could do with modernisation and seeing as it was a festive afternoon tea, they could have decorated and leaned into the festive time of the year a lot more.

    We had a lovely meal - I had smoked haddock and prawn pie, and my other half had pork belly. He was very pleased with his and I enjoyed mine. The only small thing was I only had 3 small-ish prawns in the whole dish, but I realise it could be a seasonal thing. We had very decent portions for dessert too - chocolate torte and sticky toffee pudding. The restaurant environment was nice. A good level of chatter/hubbub and no music blaring which we appreciated. It meant we could have a conversation easily. It still felt private enough though, even though we were in the middle of the room! We couldn't hear anyone else's conversations clearly, so good acoustics and atmosphere!

    First time dining here and our expectations were completely blown away . We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff into a beautifully clean restaurant ,we were given time to choose and told of specials without needing to ask. The staff were attentive, and the food was outstanding . We had the paneer and black pudding pakoras ,scotch egg, pork belly and lemon thyme chicken dishes , all were hot, beautifully presented , and a surprisingly large portion. A massive bonus was the free kids buffet , although he would have had something from the menu it made our sons stay extra special he could go up and choose his own meal, with lots of choices ! We were too full for dessert , but I asked if I could take a portion of chocolate torte back to my room , which staff were very agreeable to. After paying our bill they bough out the dessert and spoon for me to take back to enjoy later in the evening (which was also incredible!) We will definitely be returning very soon Thank you

    The restaurant looked very nice and the booking process was easy. The friend that I was dining with has to eat a gluten-free diet and there wasn’t much explanation as to which options were open to her. She was just handed a folder with information on which options on the menu contained gluten. It would’ve been more useful if someone could have gone through this with her in detail as it wasn’t very self-explanatory. The following morning when we came down for breakfast, the member of staff who greeted us just pointed to a table we sat there and waited for sometime not knowing whether we were meant to be getting up to help ourselves or whether someone was going to bring us drinks. I ended up asking somebody who said have you not ordered your drinks, I said no . It just would’ve been nice to have a better greeting somebody walking us to our table and being a bit more attentive explaining what the process was for breakfast.
