    Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived (on time) which was no problem to us and we were directed to the bar for a drink whilst we waited. We were then made to feel like an imposition in the bar as they were ‘full’ and didn’t want to take a drinks order from us. It was a strange situation, as if they were annoyed with the restaurant staff for sending us through.

    British icon experience. Disappointing Experience – Won’t Be Returning Unfortunately, our recent visit didn’t live up to expectations. While a few dishes impressed, the overall experience left much to be desired. The crab was very good, but the mozzarella was overly wet, leaving liquid on the plate and making the rest of the food soggy. The shepherd’s pie was fantastic, rich, hearty, and full of flavour. However, the steak was incredibly thin, resembling something more suited for a pet than a plate. I’d asked for it pink, but it was far too thin to cook that way. The chips were overcooked, dry, and lacked any soft potato inside. As for the fish and chips, the fish was so heavily battered that the flesh had practically disintegrated, leaving a greasy, inedible mess. I managed a quarter before giving up. Again, the chips were similarly overdone. On a positive note, the chocolate bomb was insane, rich and indulgent, easily the highlight of the meal. Service was slow, though our individual waiter was brilliant when he was at our table. The atmosphere was very loud, making it difficult to relax or enjoy a conversation. Drinks were hit and miss, the Ivy champagne was lovely and fairly priced, but the Aperol Spritz was shockingly expensive. We had five and were stunned when the bill came to £70 for those alone, the same price as our food bill! Worse still, they weren’t even properly stirred, so the drink settled at the bottom and lacked flavour. Finally, and most concerning, both girls who had the mozzarella became ill from around 12:30 a.m. and continued to be sick the next day. That in itself has put us off entirely. It’s a shame, as I’ve had fantastic experiences in the London branch. Sadly, we won’t be returning to this one.

    They were very helpful when our train was delayed and amended our booking at short notice. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was just right - not asking if everything was alright all the time but there when you needed them. Summer was our waitress. The afternoon tea was fabulous, one of the best I have had. I have found the standard menu uninspiring so wasn’t sure what to expect from the afternoon tea. We will definitely be back.

    Booked for Afternoon Tea having previously had the same at Windsor & was expecting the same great service, ambiance & food but we're bitterly disappointed. Got the food served with paper mats, the presentation was not as good as previous locations. Had to ask for more drinks as the serving staff were noticeable by their absence. It was a very sunny day and there is no shade so it was unbearably hot & we were shuffling around the table trying to avoid the sun beating down through the glass. Average food, below par service. Expensive for the below average experience. Will not visit this location again.
