    We booked Tower Restaurant but on arrival the receptionist explained that Tea was being served in Vault bar as the Fire was lit. We were seated in separate room away from bar but the fire in that room was apparently blocked off. This resulted in the room being very very cold. The Tea was very tasty but we would have stayed longer if it had not been so cold. We did tell waitress it was cold but she was not interested.

    Hello Brian, Unfortunately we were undergoing maintenance in the Restaurant and because of this your meal was being served in the bar, We hope you will visit us again now that our restaurant is back and running and we will look after you well! Sincerely Abigail White Restaurant Supervisor

    Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were greeted by a lovely young lady who showed us to our table. We were immediately offered water, and informed of the soup of the day, and the catch of the day. Another young lady then took our drinks order, which was delivered swiftly. The rosè was excellent! The food was fantastic and again, we didn't have too long to wait. The staff were in constant attendance and always so helpful. A lovely night and not too expensive. We will definitely come back again.
