"As part of a group of six for a mid week visit for dinner we left this restaurant feeling disappointed and utterly underwhelmed. Upon arrival nobody asked if we wanted to have our coats stored and we were ushered away from the bar where we wanted to have a pre-dinner drink. We were given one menu on a tablet between six people. In fairness one of our party has severe allergy issues and was presented with a special menu prepared for them...that was a lovely touch..but then again this is supposed to be a Two Michelin star establishment so you might expect that. The main menu itself was very limited which in starred restaurants is not of course unusual. Our table was nice enough but the lighting was extremely low. The table had a lamp in the middle but nobody told us the lighting level was self adjustable... we discovered this just before leaving..! A pre starter snack arrived a sausage roll ..what would a 2 star restaurant sausage roll taste like ?....well in all honesty just like a sausage roll you get in a decent bakery... ,,...as we started to tuck into our sausage roll our starters arrived almost immediately..so we had to start moving plates ourselves whilst hastily trying to finish our pre-starter..The three courses that followed were the most mundane Michelin stared dishes I have ever had. Naturally having looked at the menu beforehand I knew Mr Kerridge 's take was on more traditional plates of food....but in a 2 star restaurant you expect them to be elevated somewhat....don 't you...? The service was passable but the staff looked awkward and uncomfortable. However for me seeing a member of the kitchen staff wander out to congregate with front of house staff at the service desk for a natter whilst biting and picking his nails...was...well ..disconcerting. In a two Michelin Star restaurant you expect some wow factor somewhere across the experience and we certainly got ours ...when the bill arrived ..£1,200 for six people two bottles of low end priced wine and a round of drinks before dinner included . For Two Michelin Starred food and service that figure would be comparable with other two starred establishments around the UK....but for this food and experience it was certainly not. Mr Kerridge....I love what you have done for the food and hospitality industry in the UK but I am afraid the Hand Flowers is a Gastro Pub and nowhere near a Two Star restaurant."
