"This location should, in theory, be 10/10 experience in my opinion.. Wonderful building.. Various parts to it, as in a nice main restaurant, with plenty of seating of varying styles.. A canal right next to it with narrow boats meandering past the location.. So why was our experience dissapointing .? Ok.. Service by staff was hit and miss.. And you can't say there wasn't enough staff on duty on a gorgeous Sunday lunchtime.. In main restaurant.. The marquee extension and seating outside, staff were plentiful.. But if you have staff just twiddling fingers and not watching customers, whether for food and drinks orders,or actually trying to pay the bill at the end of our time there.. Lost count of number of times we asked for our bill please .. Finally , one young lady got the bill.. Then vanished again.. She came back a short time later, and said she has to wait for the card machine.. Seriously, has such a large, well established business only operating a small number of card payment machines that customers have to sit and wait..? After around 10mins, we just got up to walk to one of the various cash till/ screens, dotted around the location.. But here again, we just didn't get served , until a gentleman in a grey polo shirt asked if he could help? Absolutely you can..I said to him.. Can we PLEASE PAY OUR BILL..???? We've been waiting far to long to just pay our bill.. Suddenly a card machine was made available.. Billl paid,we left... The actual cusne was very nice.. Couldn't fault that part of our experience.."

"I visited here today with an elderly friend of mine. It was my first time visiting but I had heard alot about the place from others. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and was packed out, we were very lucky to find a table which was the last one that was free. We both wanted a lunch option but my friend wanted something off the special board, it was 1140 and they don't serve these meals till 12 so we decided to wait before ordering which was fine with the staff. We both had a pot of tea which came in a lovely white teapot and was served with a teacup and saucer. The tea was lovely and of a good quality. 12oclock soon came round and I went and ordered out meals. I had the jacket potato and cheese and my friend had a lamb kofta burger and chips. We weren't waiting long before the meals arrived. They were presented on big white plates and there was plenty of food. My jacket potato was cooked to perfection and came with salad and a homemade coleslaw which was very creamy. The lamb kofta burger was served with chips and salad. The chips were very chunky and not greasy and were cooked to perfection. The staff here are very attentive and friendly even though they were ran off their feet. Tables quickly filled up when people left so I could quickly tell that it is a very popular establishment. Everything was very clean and they did a good variety of food on there menus. I will definitely be going back but next time I will indulge in the afternoon tea which looked amazing. Especially the homemade scones which were the biggest I'd ever seen. I highly recommend this place lunch and even though we didn't have the breakfast menu I imagine that the breakfast on offer will just be as good."
