    Food was amazing, got a bit uncomfortable towards the end of our meal with the amount of customers waiting to be seated, would definitely request a table in a different part of the restaurant on our next visit

    Even giving exceptions for Christmas period, we had a table booked for 6pm arrived at 6pm on the dot only to be told our table was being cleaned we didn’t get seated until 6.35pm our food order was taken at 6.55pm and we were asked for our table back at 8pm. If we had gone to a fast food restaurant we would have had the table for longer.

    The restaurant was very festive but the food wasn’t great . My husband’s steak , which was rare was as tough as an old boot and very hard to cut . He was also disappointed that there was no beer on tap / which is advertised on the web site .

    Totally cliched but first expression really matters. Really bad,was brought upstairs, past a building site into a freezing cold dining room. A lovely fire was lit but was not enough to keep us warm. Had to ask to move us in front of the fire to keep us warm. Food was excellent which kept us here. Met a couple of plasterers on the way to the toilet! So much potential given excellent food but let seriously down by presentation. Spent a lot of money but will never return which is unfortunate given quality of food.

    We booked on the web site on the basis of the wine menu and the pre dinner menu, hence the 17:00 Dinner reservation. We arrived at 17:01;seated and told 1) no pre dinner in December by one staff member 2) pre dinner is pre 16:00 # confused. This is not mentioned on the web site. We proceeded with dinner selection on the limited menu. We then queried the wine menu as on web site it was extensive but on the night there were 5 reds, 5 whites The food we were served was nice chicken and cauliflower steak with an UNOPTIONAL service charge. Overall the lack of communication and deception on the restaurant web site has made me believe that I was deceived and miss led. I will therefore be following this up with the CCPC
