   We love this place. Great setting and beautiful food. The waiters in the main bar area and restaurant were great. The main waiter would benefit from smiling and interacting a bit more with customers. What would make it a 5…. When being taken from the bay to the restaurant, the drinks should be taken by the waiter, there was no where to hang our coats so had to place on the back of the chairs in the restaurant and when we moved to the Snug there was no bar staff so had to go into the main bar to order drinks. That said, a great evening, we have been a few times and will absolutely go again.

   Lunch was excellent. Only negative was that the roast beef (delicious by the way!) I had was only tepid when served and was soon cold on a plate that was also not hot. The veg were fine. I would say that the room was cold - it must be difficult to heat such a big room

   I had been on bank holiday for dinner with my partner and it was fab. So last Sunday I brought my mum, 5 year old and 3 year old for Sunday lunch. The staff were fabulous however the food was only ok. The food was only ok. The soup was cool, however well presented. And my kids were not able for the menu. I think it’s just a place for adults and not kids. Next week I’ll bring the kids for sandwiches to see what that is like. I would recommend the restaurant for adults however not for families with small kids. Also, it was very very overpriced for the food we received. The quality of the food for dinner was way better than the lunch menu dinner

   We booked the mill restaurant for a special wedding anniversary. We have been there for Sunday lunch many times so we were really looking forward to a special evening. Firstly we were seated with our backs to the restaurant looking onto a wall & the water mill which during the day is spectacular but it was dark on this night. There was a screaming child next to us for the first 40 mins of our time there. We were also seated too near the cheese trolley so the staff had to squeeze past one of our chairs regularly which was uncomfortable. We had to call our waiter over for drinks/menus. There was no attention paid to us. One of our steaks was blue & we asked for medium. There was no apology or offer to keep the other one warm while we waited for it to be redone. We waited about 20 minutes to order desserts which by the time someone noticed we had decided to just get the bill which came with again no apologies. There was no consistency in the evening. It was haphazard & a bit chaotic considering it wasn’t overly busy & the staff were not up the usual standard we have come to expect from Lyon’s estate. We were very disappointed & even more so when they never even replied to an email we sent them that night explaining our disappointment.

   overall disappointing, food, one main course had to be returned, cheap form of lamb, unusual for a top of the range restaurant. Service was disappointing apart from a waiter from Newcastle who was excellent. we will be back to give it a second chance!

    The food was good, unfortunately there was not enough staff there to cover the tables sufficiently. Food and drinks took a long time to come out however, the staff were friendly. The room has been redecorated and it has kind of killed the character it used to have.

    Had 4 different servers during the evening, asked 3 times for a jug of iced water for the table never received it, long waits between courses, were not offered tea/coffee, setting up for breakfast at the table beside us while we were still eating dessert, our clients thought it was very strange

    The dining room was cold given it’s an old building which wasn’t a great start. The quality of the food was very good but over priced in my opinion. Wine selection was ok and again over priced. The staff were very good and tried to make us all comfortable which was appreciated. The toilets were also needing some care with bins overflowing. Overall it was an ok night, too expensive and room for improvement.

    Food was fantastic, service was prompt. Every waiter was fantastic and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Very sad to hear only 50% of tips make it back to the servers if paid by card, very unfair.

    I was waiting on my friend who was directed to the wrong entrance by GPS . While I was waiting, the staff attended me and asked if I needed a drink. Eventually when my friend arrived half an hour later than our booking time, we were showed to our table without any hassle and the food was delicious! Thanks again for the great service!

    To be honest It was a rather disappointing experience. While the room was very festive the restaurant was a bit chilly and we were seated at a very small sized table, 2 of the guests had to top and tail the table to allow more room for the 6 guests seated facing each other. The service was rather poor & not what we were expecting at such a restaurant. The drinks took too long to arrive post the starter and the server forgot about one drink. We had to ask twice for water to be replenished. One of the mains was given to the wrong person and then just swapped when the error was noticed. While the server was pleasant it was all a little chaotic. One starter’s ordered was a goat’s cheese tart which had a very hard base and looked a bit lonely on the plate, it was served lukewarm. The risotto was served with partially cooked egg and was cold. The main courses were the highlight of the meal, tasty & well presented but unfortunately the selection of sides were disappointingly small and banal, with spinach being the only veg side. The side salad simply consisted of lettuce leaves. We booked this restaurant as a Christmas treat for our friends and I was a bit embarrassed that the cost did not reflect the quality of service or food that I and they were expecting.

    Superb food service was slow, it felt like they were short staffed. That said any engagement with the waiting staff was very good. No staff waiting in the snug area so had to go to the other bar to order drinks. Had a lovely evening will deffo return before Christmas

    Overall a very nice experience. The food was good but the beef filet was overcooked. Three people at our table had the beef and all were overcooked. It seemed strange as someone else at our table had venison and it was cooked perfectly. Everything else was great though. Very nice cocktails too!

    Lunch was served in the Lounge area, which was a tad gloomy. The choice was adequate, the prices hard to justify. The Fish & Chips @ €20 were fine but the Burrata @ €15 was just a round of mozzarella on an otherwise empty plate (bar a few scattered capers and nuts). No salad to accompany it. A tomato salad was ordered to compensate @ €5, which consisted solely of a couple of sliced tomatoes tossed in oil. Again, not a salad leaf in sight. Desserts were €9 (incl Ice Cream Selection). Our coffees came in small cups, not fully filled. Everything was fresh and tasted good, the young people serving were friendly and helpful, but most fare was, in our view, over-priced. Love the estate and the wonderful canal walk but will stick to the charming Pantry in future for our lunch-time delights.

    We were very happy with the food and service but we had two issues that took away from our experience. The first was we were seated near the stairs and two children kept running up and down the stairs and sometimes jumping down and landing close to us. The staff could have spoken nicely to the carers of them. The second issue, our meal was to celebrate my birthday and my wife had asked a member of staff to do a little "Happy Birthday" surprise with a candle at dessert time. During the meal she secretly reminded another member and they said no problem we know. Dessert and coffee came and went with no surprise so we just paid and left.
