Myself and my husband went for afternoon after getting a deal on a voucher, booked in via email which was quick with responses. Arrived early and was seated immediately, staff quite friendly, brought a glass of Buck’s Fizz followed by tea and coffee of choice. Then they brought the sandwiched etc out, the bread was dry. Like it had been sat out on the side for hours. I chose coronation chicken and the filling was very dry too for coronation chicken. I couldn’t bring myself to try another sandwich, my husband tried the ham and mustard, egg and cress and cheese and cucumber but the bread was too dry. We both them had a scone but no ordinary scone, vanilla and cherry with cream and strawberry j...
We visited this restaurant for a family meal on a Friday night as first-time visitors. We had booked a table and were impressed by the view from the back of the car park, although it was marred by unattended leaves and lack of maintenance. Upon entering the bar, we were greeted by a young bartender who lacked personality and manners. The restaurant was unusually quiet for a Friday night, lacking in atmosphere. We were seated at a table near a large group with children who were loud and playing videos on their phones. The music was not to our liking, more suited to a dance club than a dining environment. The food was satisfactory, with no major complaints, although the menu was quite limited....
My experience at this restaurant for afternoon tea was disappointing. The receptionist was pleasant, but after being seated at 3 pm, we were left waiting for our food and drinks. After asking a waitress at 3:27, we were told the chef was warming something up. When our afternoon tea finally arrived, the tea was cold and we had to ask for a new pot, which was delivered with bad attitude. The food was not worth the money, with only a few sandwiches, sausages, and desserts. There were even missing items like scones. Overall, the experience was a letdown, especially since it was a gift from my son. The poor quality of the food and service means we will not be coming back.
Overnight stay to celebrate a special occasion. Stayed in the Sherwood suite, which was spotless and had a lovely, spacious bathroom. Nice touch with the coffee machine and facility to have fresh milk in the room. Meal in the main restaurant was excellent, I particularly enjoyed the scallop starter. Husband would definitely recommend the fillet steak followed by the chocolate bar dessert! Very well looked after by Sam and his team, who were all very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was the traditional fayre. Good quality all round, including the pastries and yoghurts. Again, very good service.

We came for dinner not long ago, I had a steak, the chips seemed very sweet to the point I checked our salt pot to make sure it wasn’t sugar! The food is always tasty, substantial portions, and the staff always attentive in the dining areas but not so much on the bar! Every time we go we seem to be waiting a while at the bar to be served to the point we often have to ask the reception team to be served. We will be back but I think the service needs addressing even if someone just often checks if anyone is waiting.
Second time we have been for afternoon tea and both times have been great. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. Especially the scone and cakes. Plenty of tea and coffee. Given lots of time to eat our tea and relax. Then as we went on a hot day we spent sometime afterwards sitting on the terrace enjoying the fab panoramic views. Will definitely return again.
Chose to stay at the hotel party due to the reviews of restaurant. The menu was not very extensive but had some traditional dishes but also some more unusual options which was what I went for. Starter and dessert were really excellent. Hotel room was good too a bit quirky in deco with nice features from the old stone building.
Called in on spec a table in the sports bar was offered to us. We opted for the Fryday Friday menu, as opposed to the other menu offered which had a good choice on. We both had cod and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce; super tasty and very generous portions. Staff were friendly and professional. Recommended.
