Lovely meal enjoyed. Could have done with a little bit more lamb rump. My only concern was staff well-being... the young gentleman who were serving us were brilliant but they were very very nervous. I hope senior staff take note of this as it's the youngsters who are front of house!!

We had a very enjoyable meal after a bit of a debacle of being turned away from two other restaurants due to kitchen closure. I booked The Classroom while driving there and called to ensure they could take us. The manager was extremely kind and when we arrived, our waitress was fantastic! We ordered a steak, fish dish and Caesar salad. All were truly delicious! I would highly recommend their restaurant! The manager visited our table a few times to ensure our satisfaction too which is always an added sign of great hospitality!

Booked The Classroom in advance, even for a Monday night. The food was fabulous, great menu, great efficient and friendly staff. It hadn’t been one of our host’s recommendations however really delighted we discovered it. I would highly recommend.

Sat next to toilets entrance to stairs. Very tight spot, when there were other more comfortable tables for 2. Served a non-alcohol cider by server, who didn't check if we wanted an alcohol drink. Waited almost 45 mins for food, just 2 food plates. No apologies for the delay and it was just 6:30pm. Bar patrons seemed to get quicker service.

Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. We always aim to provide a comfortable setting, attentive service, and timely food for all our guests, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. We apologise for the table placement and for not offering you an alternative, especially with more suitable options available. Your comments about the cider and the wait time for food are also noted, and we understand how frustrating that must have been — especially without acknowledgment from the team. This isn’t the standard we aim for, and we will be addressing these points with the team to ensure we improve. We do hope you’ll consider giving us another try. Warm Regards The Classroom Team

Great food and service. Really liked the fact there is a small fish and chips option for dinner - great fish and chips. Very friendly and helpful service by staff.

The starters were not as described. The starters were just like warmed up microwaved food. It was dry and tasteless. We waited over an hour for the mains, when they arrived they tasted like a cheap burger, the bun was rock solid. We certainly was not impressed! We asked for some tap water it never arrived we had to ask again. The service was not the best either.

Hi Victoria Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations — this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointment during your visit. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the chance to restore your confidence in us.
