"The venue is stunning and the atmosphere is beautiful. The food was just average for a work party, I've had better elsewhere. The drinks were ridiculously expensive, it felt like I needed a bank loan to afford them. They are really overcharging for drinks. Because of the high prices, I wouldn't return to this restaurant."

We had planned a special birthday party for 12 people at this restaurant, which was booked well in advance earlier this year. However, we received a voicemail cancelling our reservation just two hours before our scheduled arrival, with no apology given. The manager claimed that the booking had been cancelled two weeks prior, which was not true - we had simply requested to change our reservation from outdoor to indoor seating, as he had mentioned that the outdoor area was closed. The reason for the last-minute cancellation was because they had a wedding event to accommodate, but it seems impossible that a wedding could be arranged in just two hours. Unfortunately, this experience has left a s...
While we had an enjoyable time at lunch, the service and food was varied. We said to the waitress no onions whatsoever in the burger. It came with raw onions. Why. We pointed it out later to let the chef know that no onions means no onions. Our food was excellent but the portions have shrunk. Our guest asked for ice cream. It was only 2 mouthfuls. Not on. Think you’re keeping prices the same but reducing portions. The room itself is charming and a good atmosphere. Some trainee staff were doing their best, but a busy Sunday lunch service is no place for a novice. We will return but we will be wary. A waiter asked if we had any allergies. We don’t We have strong dislikes which need to be liste...
We were so disappointed with the afternoon tea service at Van Dykes. We had to get up on 3 occasions ask for tea milk, the cream tea was below average, a dry bun that looked like a child had made, hard Xmas cake a very small trifle which came with no spoon. I asked the waitress if there was a smaller spoon other than a tea spoon she said no you will have to use your knife. Unacceptable for the price of £27, not once did any member of staff come ask if everything was ok or did we need anything. On the plus side the scone was nice!
Staff needed training and came across as unprofessional and rushed. asking to take plate while still eating) Food was basic and ambiance of a airport canteen. Very disappointing. . I’d driven past this place several times and always thought it looked lovely , I went on a dinner date on Friday evening and to be honest I was embarrassed for them. Needs a good manager with an eye for detail and standards. No class. Over priced . Big let down . Sorry .
