   The service was very good as we know they are training. Very friendly and welcoming. The amuse bouche was delightful! Our starters were lovely, albeit the onion barjee was overcooked (sorry), but the scallops were delicious. Main was beautiful. It was my sister's 70th birthday and I had bought a cake in for her and staff put candles on it and bought it out singing "Happy Birthday" which my sister loved. It really made our night special, so thanks for that. Food is really of a high standard, but a bit pricey. However, on a 25% off night it wasn't that bad. Good choice of wines.

   Great atmosphere, great food, great service and great value for money. We couldn't believe we were being served by first year students. We'll done to them and to the college. We will be recommending them to friends and family and will be returning ourselves.

   The food was delicious and it really is excellent value for money. The service was a bit off fine dining standard - appreciating that the students are in training - but overall we had a good time.

    Amazing food & great service. I have recommended to family and friends. The ingredients & wine are locally sourced & the sommelier is very knowledgeable and a lovely guy with a great aura. We were served by level 2 students who were great & I loved the live teaching experience. We had three courses each and tried to sample as much as possible from the menu, everything was outstanding and perfectly prepped & cooked. I'm already planning our next visit. Absolutely nothing negative to say, on the contrary.

    We had a very enjoyable experience - as always. There was one incident when the young waiter spilt a glass of red wine on the table. This was dealt with quickly and we were very impressed when, as we left, the young man came to apologise to us. A brave thing to do and we appreciated it. We'll certainly come again and recommend it to our friends.

    I really enjoyed it to be honest!!The food - THE FOOD - WAS AMAZING!!!I felt like I was in a Michelin star restaurant - it looked phenomenal and tasted great. The service was good although when I asked for the dessert menu it took them a while to find one. Was kinda quiet though. Definitely will come again - in fact already booked my next visit!!

    Wow! We had an amazing evening right from the start. Our server was Nathaniel and he was super friendly. He made such an effort to chat to everyone, make people feel comfortable and make sure we had everything we needed. Outstanding customer service- thank you Nat. The food was stunning. We decided to opt for the festive menu. Two of the party had the duck salad and both said it was the best duck dish they had ever had- and one of them is a head chef! We had the smoked salmon with avocado and it was glorious. The salmon was beautiful subtle smoked flavour and nicely firm. The avocado was smooth and fresh. 5 of us opted for the Christmas dinner which was fantastic. The stuffing was the star of the show which isn’t to say the rest wasn’t good, it was all amazing. The turkey was moist and tasty - which is an accomplishment. Deserts - even tho we were full we couldn’t resist. I thought dinner couldn’t get better but the chocolate desert - well it left me speechless - stunning and worthy of a Michelin star on its own. The drink prices were a nice surprise and the others enjoyed a variety of cocktails and I witnessed my lovely husband silence by and excellent old Fashioned and the girls loving the Cosmos. It’s taken me about 30 years to make it here and I’m just really sad I haven’t been before. The students were all amazing, they all worked incredibly hard and I hope their tutors were proud of them. We thought they were awesom. Thank you all for one of the best meals out. Can’t wait to come back. If you aren’t sure wether to go…go!

    Despite arriving late (taxi problems), we were greeted courteously and had an excellent evening. We have been recommending the venue to family and friends as it is a brilliant concept for young people to learn, and put into practice, a wide variety of skills. We were disappointed to learn that the venue did not have a retail licence to sell wines, particularly as we weren't familiar with the wines on offer and would have loved to support a local vineyard.

    Food was excellent, difficult to choose because they all looked appealing. 2/3 students gave excellent service, the 3rd was a little too talkative and when they brought coffee pots, couldn't remember which was decaf and which ordinary. Student ergo greeted us and offered complimentary drinks did so politely although seemed nervous. One manager was too talkative. I We really liked the tips going towards meals or etc.

    We have been coming here for years and always love it, but obviously picked a bad night on monday. Food was amazing as always but service was non existent and place was so cold. We normally like watching the staff being trained, but there was just a couple young staff and the lectures just left them to it. We were over charged on bill which we paid anyway in lieu of a tip. Shame really. Probably wouldn't rush back which is disappointing.

    Have been coming with friends for a number of years. Food always of a good standard, it is now served already plated. Do miss the students being able to serve the vegetables etc which enables interaction, assume down to Covid rules ? A lighter choice of dessert would be welcome. Looking forward to next year.

    The welcome was friendly and very genuine. To be greeted with complimentary Prosecco was a lovely Christmas touch. The food and value for money was outstanding. Service was a little muddled but we understand that as it is a training restaurant for hospitality stars of the future. Great to see wine choice included a local vineyard. Complimentary coffee and mince pies completed an excellent experience. As ex students from 1974 it if fabulous to see how the college has progressed.
