Grill Bar and Restaurant

I rarely use such emphasis, but this was sadly by far the worse Afternoon Tea I have ever experienced. Full review as follows: ★★☆☆☆ Ambience Less an afternoon tea venue, more a quiet sports bar vibe, which puts the staff at a huge disadvantage to start with if they are trying to serve what is traditionally a “posh” lunch. ★☆☆☆☆ Sandwiches Seven rather slap-dash cut finger sandwiches, with little variety or flair. Seriously, did the chef only have a blunt knife to hand? • Three ham and mustard • One cheese and cucumber • One cheese and tomato • One tomato • One salmon ★☆☆☆☆ Scones and Cream Bland disappointingly small scones served with some kind of cream that had the consistency of a yoghurt. Whatever it was, this was not high quality clotted cream and certainly not delicious. ★☆☆☆☆ Cakes Bland, stale cakes. No fruit at all. Descriptively tasty looking too. ★★★☆☆ Service Service was friendly and kind, if not entirely conscientious: my tea pot was served without anything to drink it and I actually had to request a cup and saucer. Certainly not worth £26 per person, neither half that price should you book through a third-party. It was frankly dire and they really need to invest in a higher standard of ingredients. If you found my review or photos helpful, please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

The staff members were really friendly! The food was really tasty and the portion was excellent. The drinks were really great also! We went on a Thursday evening and we didn't have to wait at all, the drinks came fast and we didn't have to wait long for the food either. All and all a nice restaurant with a comfy atmosphere.

Long wait after ordering. Three of the four dishes were rather carelessly prepared with obvious flaws: one side dish was too cold (possibly frozen and not heated through properly), one dish was partially burnt. Service quality was standard/average.

Fantastic service from friendly accommodating staff. The Cajun chicken burger was excellent and the chips perfect, crispy on the outside soft and fluffy on the inside.
