   Price different in lift & online to what you get handed in a menu. 8oz Sirloin was £8 dearer, got up and walked up before ordering.

   Restaurant nice inside. Kids menu good. Steak was nice but peppercorn sauce far too spicy. Very slow to get our food and deserts arrived after children had eaten theirs. Didn’t bring last glass of wine. Think would have been better elsewhere as lots of restaurants near by which would have had better selection and quicker to serve.

   Absolutely fantastic service and atmosphere. Could not have been looked after better - especially by Johanna! The food was lovely with an exciting menu and when it was a little too exciting for my autistic daughter Johanna seamlessly found solutions to our issues and made sure we had a wonderful evening (and breakfast) A fantastic Christmas treat. Thank you!

   The food and customer service were awful. We ordered sauces which came after the meal was finished. I ordered parmesan for my risotto and it didn't arrive until my last bit. The server was ever so rude. Disgraceful service in all honesty. There was only one other group there, it was completely quiet otherwise so I dont understand why the service for take orders and bringing cutlery and condiments was so terribly slow. I was waiting for spoon for my risotto and by the time it arrived my risotto was cold.

   Arrived at the Clayton Hotel and it is lovely. However the afternoon tea is in the main busy bar area where your surrounded by people who have walked in off the street. We were seated next to a sleeping man who remained the for the entire hr and a half we were there eating our afternoon tea. Food was not to our taste. It was a strange selection of of sandwiches and a mushroom and garlic quiche which was quite horrible. Not as advertised. Sadly I would not recommend the afternoon tea.

   Lovely hotel and decor, nice food although both the pork chop and chicken could have done with some gravy (we are northern) or ‘ju’ they were a bit dry. Starter of pate was nice but a bit more bread would have been good, two little pieces meant I had to try to pile it up, had to leave some sadly as I ran out of bread. Service was good. Restaurant was a bit quiet, maybe some background music would help

    The starters were all right but the main course were disappointing. We ordered a cheeseburger, two grill sirloin steaks and a portion of vegan pasta. The cheeseburger was burnt. The sirloin steaks were average. And pasta was quite pale, not much flavour in it.

    I asked for a rare sirloin and received a medium to well done sirloin. I sent it back and asked for it to be re cooked. The waitress returned and told me that chef said it was fine. It was grey inside. I waited for my wife to finish her fish dish and went for a kebab. I felt sorry for the waitresses. I was offered a free bottle of wine to compensate which I declined. I needed food not drink! Awful experience. I'll never go back

    We arrived for our booking at 5.30pm which was a Groupon deal for 2 x Sirloin Steak meals with glass of wine each. The first member of staff advised that Sirloin Steak not available and so Rump would be served. I asked if there would be a refund and was promptly told that there wouldn't be. We placed our order quickly with another member of staff and provided the Voucher. At 6.15pm I had to request as to the whereabouts of our food to which we were advised would be another 5 mins or so. To be fair they provided my Wife with a large glass of wine for the inconvenience. When the meal finally arrived it was very nicely cooked and enjoyable - the problem being that we both had to rush it down as we had a taxi booked to take us to a pre-booked show (had to push out twice with taxi company due to late meal). It spoilt our evening somewhat as we had been here before again on Groupon and had no such problems. We would go again as the setting and overall hotel is excellent but the restaurant service times really do need to be reviewed.

    Food was very good once it arrived (roughly 40 minute wait, so trusted it had been freshly cooked). Staff were friendly and polite. Fairly quiet when we first got in (6pm), but already getting much busier as we were leaving (8pm).

    Nickita and Sophie, running head of house absolutely fantastic. They made our evening. Very caring and attentive, a real credit to the hotel and its brand. As for the food, I had read some mixed reviews, and to be fair that is how I would score, the starter we had (mushroom soup) very tasty, but my wife’s was hot yet mine was look warm. My main was fish and chips, I couldn’t really eat it, full of oil to the point I could squeeze it out the chips, the fish was obviously frozen and not fresh as it was wet inside rather than flaky. My wife vegetarian main was nice yet her desert which was the coconut desert had no real taste. My desert was fine which was sticky toffee pudding, as I say a mixed bag really. So I think the food does need to improve in order that I could recommend, especially when there are many and I mean many other places to eat very close by. The Hotel room was lovely.

    The service was very poor. The booking included unlimited drinks of tea/coffee and a glass a Prosecco. We were only asked once if we wanted a drink. I had to go to the bar area to request further drinks. The Prosecco was never mentioned and we left without asking rather than waiting further.

    The food was really nice however I have an issue particularly with the £6.50 bread, it was 4 tiny loaves and was not worth the money. I thought it would be enough to tie us over because it took them an hour to bring out our steak but alas it wasn't. When the steak came out it was great other than my medium steak being very much rare. It just would have been so much better with a lesser wait time, better value bread and less noise from the men watching football downstairs. The decor was gorgeous though there is definitely an attention to detail in the venue, overall 3/5

    HAD A NICE BOOTH TABLE. HAD TO WAIT QUIET A WHILE FOR THE DRINKS AS THEY HAD TO GO DOWNSTAIRS TO GET THE VODKA. THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD BUT THE CHOICE ON THE GROUPON MEAL OFFER WAS LIMITED TO THREE CHOICES. WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THE OPTION OF PAYING A LITTLE EXTRA FOR A STEAK SO WERE LEFT DISAPPOINTED. THE PLATE WAS HALF EMPTY TOO SO NOT A LOT ON THE MAIN COURSE. THE STARTER WE HSAD WAS PATE AND WHILST THE PATE WAS GREAT, ONE SLICE OF TOAST ISNT ENOUGH UNLESS THE PATE IS 5CM THICK! COME ON…GIVE SLIGHTLY BETTER PORTIONS AND A LITTLE MORE CHOICE.

    It took over 40 minutes for them to bring out our afternoon tea. The sandwiches were incredibly boring with not much selection and they had clearly been left out for a while before serving as the bread was nearly stale. The scones were rock hard and tastless, however the jam and cream were well presented and nice. The sweet slection was fairly good, nice carrot cake and toffee tart with macarons dotted about to fill up the space. I'd booked for the afternoon tea for 4 with prosseco and luckily I had a voucher for the meal so I did not pay full price, however if I would of had to pay the full price, £100, I would've left feeling utterly robbed and unsatisfied. The £47 groupon voucher I had did alleviate the pain somewhat, but I will not be returning for afternoon tea there anytime soon. The hotel itself looked very pleasant and the setting was immacualte, the staff were also very nice, just a really big shame about the food selection, quality and wait time. I would not recommend going unless you have voucher like I had.

    Bought a deal when booking the hotel, but we must of told them a zillions times but they treated us like we weren't important, to say when I booked I said it was anniversary! The service was very poor, my husband asked for a drink which they forgot. They didn't ask if everything was OK or that we needed anything, then when we were waiting for desserts menu we then had to tell them about the offer we got again! They quickly git the menu but by this time we couldn't wait to go after we rushed pudding through. Food was bland.

    Booked a table for 8pm. On arrival, staff were Somewhat confused about the booking; greeted by “can I help you with something?” Service very very slow. Food took ages. Menu was uninspired to say the least. Burger was served overdone in the extreme. Atmosphere and seating arrangements weren’t great. No wonder it was quiet. Described as a “fine dining experience”- fake news of the highest order! Will not be back!
