Lilac Cottage Tapas Wine

We have been to this restaurant many times and are young (ish) children love it so we took them for a Friday night treat. The first thing to mention was that the staff were congregated around the bar having a really loud discussion/s throughout our whole meal about people with psychiatric issues (amongst other things) which we didn't think was appropriate a) in terms of the subject and b) the location being in such close proximity to customers. The food was ok but really expensive. We are two adults two children and it was £150 with no alcoholic drinks. It was £30 for 6 lamb chops and over £10 for a small portion of chicken sizzler and we didn't like the sauce (which is obviously just our preference). They also seem to have taken to covering everything in balsamic glaze for decoration croquettes, lamb chops, Greek salad for eg. There's really no need. Our main gripe was the cost. We did over order probably by a couple of tapas dishes but when you're being charged £5 per small lamb chop I don't think we'll be returning in a hurry!

Food here is always amazing, been many times now and we absolutely love it! Particularly the prawn skewers and the croquettes are to die for. Will definitely be back again :

Amazing food and drinks! I visited with friends and we had the bottomless brunch. Staff were very friendly and were very knowledgeable about the food, recommending certain dishes and drinks. I will definitely be back!

Went with the girls for a Birthday meal. The staff wasn't very helpful or professional. I was asking about the menu as descriptions are vague and the waitress just walked off. Food not hot nor good portions for the cost as for a little more you'd get a full sized meal. But to walk out full you'd have to spend a lot. Drinks ate also expensive. Food was OK. Bill came they added £25 service charge! When asked to remove it we got told NO. So requested the manager sorted. Again this is a big thing in my eyes. Having worked for the NHS on the same money as the waiting on staff I really don't see why they think its a right to be tipped. Voluntary trips yes not added to your bill. Plus birthday girl never got free drink or sweet not even a song, how rude! I'll not be going back.

Food was below average. Felt like it wasn't cooked fresh to order. We had to ask the waitress several times for basic things like please can you take our order, can we see the dessert menu etc etc Very expensive for what you get. Would not recommend and will not visit again.
