1st visit here and must say what a lovely establishment. The restaurant has fantastic views as well as warm and friendly staff with a fabulous menu with very tasty food. I found that the menu was fairly priced and catered for all tastes. I eat out a lot and this restaurant is by far one of the best in my... More

When it first opened my wife a I went fairly often and enjoyed the views and attractively decorated pub. The food was okay and despite some previous comments on here we felt that the pricing was fair. However, this pub is seriously lacking in character. The staff seem uninterested and I have often felt like a burden especially when they... More

Thanks for this review and I have to apologise for what appears to be an example of poor service on your last visits. I assure you that the team are normally very happy when they work. I hope it's not because I refused some pay rises recently!!! On a serious note, i'll look into this as this really isn't what... More

Me and my partner went here a few weeks ago and we both had food poisoning! After making the management aware,the response we had from them was awful! Very unprofessional! The food is very expensive and the staff lack experience to work in an expensive restaurant. we will not be returning any time soon! All in all,a dreadful experience!

It's a shame that you've had to resort to a public domain to continue your unsubstantiated claims. I'll quote your last e mail to myself 9 days after the alleged allegation on the 29th April, "I have not had the tests results back yet but i will forward them to you once i receive them". It is now 27 days... More

I and my partner visited the restaurant for Sunday dinner and where very impressed. The food quantity and quality was fantastic, similarly the views. There is a good selection of dishes but unfortunately nothing obscure or intriguing. The pricing is spot-on and I felt very fair. The staff however all seemed to be very young and ill experienced, I felt... More

Not asked if wanted to eat, not offered a table. Found own, then male waiter thrust menus in front of us. 20 minute wait no one came to take order.... More

Dear Lelren, Thanks for writing this review. It's more important for us to receive negative feedback than it is positive as this is the best way for a business to move forward. I have to say it really dissapointed me hearing about your experience with us. If you look at any of the 239 reviews we've had over the last... More

We went for late bank holiday Monday lunch on a warm and sunny afternoon. Lots of diners and drinkers in the garden enjoying the lovely weather and views. Our meals were fresh and tasty and there was no problem when I requested a different vegetable with my delicious pan fried salmon. The staff could be a little more attentive as... More

Dear Traveller-B33, Thanks very much for posting your compliments, but more importantly for the feedback regarding the attentiveness. For any business to succeed it's invaluable that we listen to our guests in order to improve. Bank Holiday Monday was exceptionally busy at times but that's no excuse for any delays in the service chain. I'm happy we changed your accompinament... More
