We booked a Sunday lunchtime. There was plenty of staff - but they didn’t seem to have any direction and therefore our service was incredibly slow. We asked for a second round of drinks, waited a good 10 minutes and had to ask again (it wasn’t busy so no excuses ). The prices charged are expensive, which is absolutely fine if the food and service line up to the price - they didn’t. The roast potatoes were below average (think toby carvery) the roast beef advertised as “pink” was overcooked - not a hint of pink. My friend had a crab salad started which was a very strange starter served on an uncooked crumpet - it was crab and mayo mixed on crumpet - not a salad. The squid was - well I don’t really want to know what it was. My roast lamb was lovely to be honest, but the rest of the meal let it down. We stayed for a drink in the garden afterwards (because we were celebrating my friends birthday and wanted to make her afternoon a nice one) and what a palaver getting a drink at the bar - 20 minutes for 3 drinks. It wasn’t busy, there was plenty of staff - my husband says there were 4 staff behind the bar and only 1 person actually working. The location is stunning, the decor is great, but to pay prices as high as this - I would expect a certain level of service and it just lacked any kind of service. Note we spent in excess of £150 for a meal and drinks for 3 people - that’s a lot of out hard earned money to leave dissatisfied. Won’t be rushing back, sadly
