    A very disappointing experience. Marred by trying to pay in cash, the waiter didn’t have change. Having paid the bill and service charge,£100.87 the waiter walked away with the £5 that he didn’t have change for. We had to ask for the £5 back, and he brought a card machine for £0.87… The food was reasonable, a little disappointing in taste(arancini and fish pie) it was expensive, which is obviously why it was so quiet on a Friday night.

    Really nice restaurant. The outdoor garden is amazing during the night. The food was really good. But the fries were a little to oily.

    The Willow Tree is perfect for a "Date Night". Very romantic setting both in the restaurant and the Domes which are lit with fairy lights. Attentive and friendly service, delicious food and a great experience overall. Would highly recommend a visit to the Willow Tree for any occassion.

    No heating in the restaurant, staff were wearing their coats whilst serving and clearing the table. There was a table of two eating on arrival wearing their coats and three of the four of us had to have coats on. No lemonade nor Jack Daniels due to supply issues, however a local supermarket could of got around this. No menu's, we had to use our mobile phones. And they still had the cheek to put a service charge on the bill. Extremely poor.
