   Roasties were dry and had the tiniest piece of chicken I’ve ever had on a Sunday roast. Still hungry afterwards

   Hi there, We're sorry to see you weren't quite happy with your roast - we're really disappointed as nearly all our feedback for Sunday's is positive. We'll be sure to deliver your feedback to our kitchen team and look to improve and maintain our usually high standards throughout all service. We hope to see you again so we can prove how great we usually are. Kind regards Team Fountain House

   Nice venue, good food, good service but very noisy. More suited to groups

   Hi Francis, Thank you for leaving us a review! Sorry it was so busy on Saturday, we were hosting a wedding in our function space and helping a very happy bride and groom enjoy their special day. We're glad to see you enjoyed the food and drink too, and the service, and hope to see you back again soon. Kind regards Team Fountain House

   Service was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food at lunch was delicious especially the pumpkin ravioli with garlic and chestnuts. We stopped by again in the evening and enjoyed a few board games while listening to live music, Great atmosphere and extensive drinks menu.

   Service was poor. They didn’t know where we were sat. Food mediocre - meat gristly, veg cold. Meh

   Meticulous detail to the food - great value and one of the nicest Sunday roasts we have had for a long time

   Reasonable burger if a little overpriced for what it was. Roast beef was the best of the three meals. Nice and tender. Pork was a little fatty but veg and potatoes were good. Great desserts. Service was slow. Food left on the pass for 5 mins. Gave up asking for drinks so went to the bar myself.

We will take the feedback on board and ensure moving forward we don't get caught under deployed again. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Team Fountain House

   Sadly the quality of service was appalling and the manager who said his name was "John Smith" though this might be a little untrue (a colleague of the manager confirmed that his name was "Stan") clearly made it abundantly clear that he "couldn't give a sh1t" that we had waited well over an hour for our main course. Having previously been made aware that we were due at the theatre shortly the manager told us that we should leave and so we did. We had enjoyed earlier enjoyed a pleasant drink in the bar prior to making our way down to the more formal restaurant where we were greeted by a very personable Alex from whom the "manager" could learn a thing or two regarding working in the hospitality industry.

   Hi John, Thanks for leaving us a review. What you've chosen to write and what actually happened seem to be two different things - but we won't get into that. As discussed on the evening, rude behaviour and swearing at team won't be tolerated in any form - which is why you were asked to leave. Kind regards Team Fountain House
