We enjoyed our meal in the Riverside restaurant, the lobster and crayfish cocktail was delightful as were the scallpos. The nibbles of sough dough bread arrived at the same time as our starter and was was really not needed. The steak and chips were pleasant but have had better. The chicken milanese again was pleasant but have had better. Overall we enjoyed it, but cannot give a 5 star rating.

The food was acceptable if more basic than I was expecting, the service was poor, we felt we were rather in the way. Quite sloppy pasta and shepherds pie were served with knife and fork and I had to leave the table to find waiting staff to request a spoon. My friend and I had planned to relax over coffee in the bar area but were made to feel uncomfortable about doing this, I think they would rather we hurried up and went. From the bar, I went in search of the ladies room and had to ask 2 further members of hotel staff to move out of my way as they were talking together in front of door way and I couldn’t get round them. I hoped it would be a treat for my friend but I would have found more atmosphere, good service and better food in Zizzi in the high street.

The actual meal was excellent and served in a friendly way. We did not get the table we wanted because of the failures of the Open Table reservation system. Despite having made a reservation in advance on-line the restaurant reception staff told us that that they had not received any notification of it.

Overall, it was lovely. Beautiful grounds, lovely location. But the actual afternoon tea could have been better. The sandwiches were dry and one of the ham and mustard sandwiches had a big bit of plastic or cling film inside it so as I took a bite I pulled this big strand of plastic out of my mouth. Scones were more cakey rather than scone-like. But the oddest thing, we were provided with tea strainers (like at any afternoon tea) but the tea was not loose leaf tea, it was tea bags which therefore nullified the strainer and drew more attention to the fact they were tea bags! The staff were helpful and really made allowances for my mother who isn’t very mobile. Great atmosphere but the food let it down.

Dear Gemma, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent afternoon tea experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful grounds and lovely location, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our staff's helpfulness, especially in accommodating your mother. However, I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the afternoon tea itself. I’m very sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with the plastic in the sandwich. This is not the standard we aim for, and I assure you that we will address this with our kitchen team to ensure it does not happen again. I hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future and we truly appreciate your understanding. Charles F&B Manager

My wife and I had a lovely experience when we went to the Compleat Angler for lunch on her recent birthday. The situation of the restaurant overlooking the river is outstanding, the lunch was delicious, particularly the goats' cheese starter, and the service was charming.
