I personally took in completed Christmas lunch order on 24th Nov and paid deposit. I spoke to staff.When I arrived at 12 on 28th Dec,staff appeared confused about it. Another order had gone wrong just before, they said. We waited far too long, with too little reassurance. I had to ask. Timing was very unfortunate. Three of the party needed to return to London and one to Yorkshire that evening.The late food spoilt the important family occasion.I would be grateful for a clear cogent explanation as otherwise I shall not be coming back. The actual food standard was good.

Plates were cold, so the food was too after a few minutes. Gents toilet blocked and cystern not working. been there many times in the past and it's all been great, so hopefully just a blip.

My only criticism was that we heard the bell ring from the kitchen to indicate that food was ready. The two waiting staff were busy, so the food didn't arrive for several minutes. It was hot enough, but there shouldn't be such a delay.

Unfortunately none of us were very impressed with the food . The beef was tough, the lamb was tough, the vegetarian option was like baby food squashed together, it wasn't very pleasant. The Yorkshires were like puff balls with no substance, the cabbage was tough as the stem was still on and not cooked enough, the roast potatoes didn't seem like roast potatoes. We saw other people leave a lot of food on their plates also .We saw the chief in the restaurant twice and we all thought his whites were very dirty and he looked too young to be an experienced chief. We think you could do a lot better. Only good thing was the service and ambience. I don't like making complaints, but you ask our opinion. I hope my comments will be of help to you to make things better.
