Amazing food and cocktails!! 10/10. My husband said the pie was the best he’d ever had! Would highly recommend ?

Nice place for some tea and cake. Truly amazing banoffe pie. Love the vintage vibe and teapots. The staff was very friendly.

Overpriced for underwhelming sandwiches and overall poor service.

I stayed in the hotel a few years ago and never got to try the bistro so wanted to try on this return visit to the area.

Got served quickly and the waitress was pleasant but when I gave my honest feedback about the desert (completely bland and not as described at all on the menu) I expected her to 1. Apologise (not even one sorry was uttered) 2. Tell the chef (I suggested she do so) 3. Offer an alternative or offer to remove from the bill (neither action was taken).

This is lack of training for staff. Don’t get your staff to ask if everything was ok - but then take zero action when you tell them it’s not. What’s the point?

As another reviewer said, I could see why it was empty despite it being lunch time. Sadly will not be returning.

Very nice dinner experience at the Bistro. The portions exceeded my expectations. Well cooked and the service is good.

Terrible service. After sitting for 20 mins at our reserved table, we asked for menus and drinks, which then took another 20 mins to arrive. We were the only diners there so they definitely weren't busy! When the water arrived, the server spilled it into my sister's handbag. The bar was unattended. The soup was cold, the gravy with the pie was so thick you could slice it, and there wasn't even a suggestion of an artichoke in the artichoke gnocchi. When we asked to pay, they had no record of what we'd had, so we had to relay our order and wait another 15 mins while they confirmed it.
There was clearly a very good reason it was empty. You couldn't pay me to go there again.

Great meal, feel portions should be larger for the cost but after 3 courses I was full. Ordered a cocktail which didn’t turn up and our sparking wine arrived with our mains which was also different to the one we ordered, good experience but room for improvement

Rushed !
We had a table of four booked at 8 on a Saturday evening for a 50th birthday.
First impressions of the hotel and bar area looked a little past its best and lacking in atmosphere. We were greeted and shown to our table in the fig restaurant which was not very warm and had only a few diners.
The menu was varied and nice. Our waiting staff were very friendly and polite. But we had eaten our starters and mains within an hour of sitting down offered dessert before we’d finished licking our lips from our main.
We did however ask for a breather and they left us alone for 20mins
All four of us enjoyed our food but just felt it was all very rushed.
I feel some of these restaurants are missing a trick as all hard work is done getting you through the front door only to rush you through and out as quickly as possible. If more time had been given between courses we definitely would have had another couple of bottles of wine and maybe after dinner drinks etc.
Our spend could have been increased greatly.
Just my opinion.

Waited patiently at the bar for a drink, the barman was serving the person before me and acknowledged me waiting. Two other groups of people came in and got immediately served ahead of me by the same barman. Perhaps I wasn’t the right kind of person for this place, but I was made to feel completely unwelcome and won’t be returning
