    When we first arrived, we were shown to our table and were swiftly poured our fizz. We did feel a tad rushed into choosing our food but our waitress was extremely attentive in ensuring that our glasses never went empty! At first the atmosphere was disappointing as we were expecting the Sound Cafe to be a music venue but there wasn’t any music for the first hour or so but then the music did start and it was good. The food was not pleasant and I must admit that I would not come back based on the food quality and choice. On the positive side, for a bottomless brunch, the fizz kept on flowing which is not always the case and I do feel that based on that alone, the experience was worth it.
    SOUND CafeResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Jo, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the attentiveness of our team and that the fizz kept flowing during your visit – we always aim to ensure our guests feel well looked after, hitting all the right notes! We’re sorry to hear the food didn’t quite meet your expectations and that the initial atmosphere wasn’t quite what you were hoping for. Please understand that as a part of a hotel we have to accommodate for our residents but we will review this to ensure there is a better balance between comfort and pleasure for all of our guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for sharing your experience. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Kind Regards, Guest Services SOUND @ The Cumberland

    We had a fabulous time!! It was my friend’s first time and she loved it too. We were using a Buyagift voucher. The ambiance is great. We like the music and videos playing during lunch. Rosemary, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food selection was varied and delicious. The Prosecco was really good and plentiful. We will definitely be back and recommend it to others. Thank you

    Dear Lesley, We’re absolutely buzzing to hear you and your friend had such a fabulous time here at SOUND Cafe. It sounds like you made the most of every moment! We’re thrilled that our rockin' vibe, especially our perfect playlist, hit all the right notes. It’s great to hear the food selection struck a chord too. And let’s not forget the Prosecco, as there’s nothing like a generous glass (or two!) of bubbles to elevate the occasion! A huge shoutout to Rosemary for being her fabulous self. We’ll be sure to let her know how much you appreciated her friendly and attentive service! Thanks for spreading the word, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for round two - we’ll have the Prosecco chilled and ready! Kind regards, Guest Services SOUND @ The Cumberland

    Our server was SO nice, but sadly he had far too many tables to look after so the overall service was super slow. We were expecting to be there for an hour and a half and were there for two and a half hours, most of which was waiting for a dessert menu / waiting for dessert. We had a couple of drinks and maybe because we didn’t want bottomless prosecco we had less attention from the servers. This was my third brunch here and it was the worst experience so far. Food was great and as I say, our server was amazing, I think they are just massively understaffed. There was a rowdy table next to us which were really disruptive and that didn’t help either.
    SOUND CafeResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Claire, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It sounds like your brunch had its high notes, but also a few that were off-key, and we truly appreciate your honest comments. Firstly, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and that your server made a positive impression despite the challenges of a busy service. That said, we’re sorry to hear that the pace of service didn’t match your expectations this time. We also understand how disruptive a rowdy table can be and apologise that it affected your experience. We will take these comments in to consideration as we plan for the future. Thank you for being a loyal guest - third time visiting means a lot to us. Let’s make visit brunch four the best one yet! Kind regards, Guest Services SOUND @ The Cumberland
