If you want to be greeted with a smile and feel like a welcome guest of this restaurant, go elsewhere. With the exception of one young lady none of the staff seem to want to be there. Unfortunately the food didn't make up for the lacklustre service either. We both had the same starter and main course: ROASTED RED PEPPER AND TOMATO SOUP A comforting roasted red pepper and tomato soup, garnished with a swirl of herb pesto. Served with a warm potato bread and sea salt butter. CHICKEN TIKKA CURRY A fragrant chicken tikka curry served with basmati rice, mini poppadoms and a side of sweet mango chutney and cucumber raita. The soup was delicious but didn't have a 'swirl of herb pesto', the 'warm potato bread' was cold, and the 'sea salt butter' was missing and when we asked for it we received a pot of individually wrapped butter portions that you get at breakfast. The curry was beautifully presented and looked delicious but the chicken was dry, overcooked and tough. Not a great experience.

Had afternoon tea as treat for my niece. The sandwiches were tasty, however the clotted cream was dry and did not spread on scones at all, cakes were doughnuts and dried cake. Very disappointed.

Food quality and presentation was surprisingly good (especially the Sea Bass) and mid-week the restaurant was busy enough to give it some atmosphere but unfortunately too busy for the small number of over-stretched service staff to cope…..food & drink service progressively ground to a halt through the evening.

Raj made our stay at the hotel with his kind, friendly and joyful charismatic energy. You are very lucky to have him and Luke working for you!

Limited menu on offer. Not informed of this at time of booking. No prices provided at time of choosing. Lettuce with one starter was limp and brown at edges. Mint & cucumber yoghurt with other starter was warm. No cream sauce with the chicken supreme.

Breakfast was great and the service was super friendly! I think that it would be nice to have a coffee machine but I did enjoy everything!

The food was greasy and bacon dry. Coffee really strong and not warm would like better selection had to ask for butter and felt it let the whole experience down as everything else was perfect

We had breakfast there. There were no croissants/ pasteries left at 9am. The fresh food / fruit etc was also v sparce. There was only one member of staff. The cereal bowls had a dirty rim around them which looked like a soup stain. Not impressed at all.

Shockingly bad service, had to go to bar for drinks, sat for 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order or even acknowledge us. Staff were hiding in the kitchen and it was quiet too - 33 customers sat at once and 4 staff. Food ok, a mix of brought in frozen items and freshly cooked food. Restaurant did not have our booking. Only rated it good value for money as meal was free due to previous complaint.
