    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

    What a poor experience. Firstly ..I tried to ring this restaurant to make a reservation for lunch..no one answered so I left a voicemail…they didn’t return my call So I made a reservation with opentable I arrived at the restaurant to be told that they were having some issues and were not open I was pointed in the direction of another restaurant Just after this happened I recieved a voicemail from the bookings office of this group of restaurants to say they were having issues with the sale of alcohol but were still open serving food and that I could continue to have lunch or they could facilitate me in another of their restaurants. I rang them back to tell them we were sent away and I was now in another restaurant I was apologised to at each stage ..and offered a voucher..which hasn’t come .. but really the whole thing it was a very very poor experience . I simply couldn’t be bothered!

    The experience was lovely! Staff were quick and friendly. Food was amazing. I didn’t like the fact that they charged the tips on the final bill. But overall, I will come back in the future.
