The staff took great care of us and the menu, as well as the wine list, offered a variety of enticing options. To start, my friend and I shared the smoked salmon with cucumber jelly and prawns, which were delicious (though we didn't get a finger bowl). For our main course, we both enjoyed the perfectly cooked and flavorful lamb rump. For dessert, my friend had a delicious homemade Bakewell tart while I opted for the beautifully presented chocolate nemesis. Overall, it was a truly excellent three-course meal.
I went for afternoon tea for two on March 26th. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only 3 other tables occupied at the same time as ours. The afternoon tea included 8 finger sandwiches, 2 scones, and 4 cakes for the two of us. We were served tea and coffee, but only one cup each. After waiting for 40 minutes, I had to flag down the waiter to ask for more tea, coffee, and sandwiches. To my surprise, we were told that we would have to pay for extra sandwiches. I have had many afternoon teas at various hotels and have never encountered such a policy. I felt like the £47 we spent was wasted and I will not be returning for afternoon tea again.
The service was attentive and reasonably friendly. We started with appetizers and then shared the chateaubriand for two. It was cooked well and served with delicious sauces (blue cheese and red wine jus) and chips. However, the side of cooked tomatoes and limp lambs' lettuce was not enjoyable. Unfortunately, the noise level and atmosphere were terrible. The lack of sound insulation meant that everyone had to shout to be heard, making it only bearable for about an hour. It felt like eating in a cafeteria and overall, it was a disappointing experience.
We were warned the night before that the place had gone down hill which we took with a pinch of salt, thinking the friends were just being fussy. We were wrong. Our booking was 9:30pm because the restaurant was packed apparently. We had a lovely drink in the bar and went down to the restaurant to find it pretty much empty. We were told to order starter, main and choose our dessert right away because the last kitchen orders were 9:30 so felt somewhat harassed. The starter of calamari was reasonable but the crispy chilli beef was literally a bowl of blackened beef rind, no salad garnish or chilli slices, just what looked like cremated rind which was terribly tough and chewy, piled in to a little bowl. We both thought we 'd play it safe and order the 'Dirty Chicken Burger ' which came with fries. It was massive but sadly lacking coleslaw (was supposed to be in it) and the chicken breast was again really very tough and dry like leather that had been reheated about a dozen times. The desserts were both actually ok but after the first two courses the tone had been set and our meal out ruined. It wasn 't helped by a complete lack of ambience bar one table to two very drunk ladies repeating themselves over and over to each other and a table of three to the other side of us 'F-ing and blinding ' throughout. The final straw was waiting for our taxi outside the reception where there were several piles of vomit from either people arriving back from races or leaving the very large 50th birthday party that was going on. I appreciate sometimes the kitchen can be overwhelmed when there are large events etc going on and things can 't always be perfect, but having had a lovely meal in the past here, this was a real let down. Never again.
Great food friendly service we did eat out to help out with added extras this meant a free bottle of wine and two steaks for £20!! Wine was one of the best house wines I've ever had in restaurant sacchetto Pino Grigio very good will definitely go again. The outdoor area is designed to allow customers to eat outside in any weather and they have made it look attractive and welcoming well done!
