Dined last night during an overnight stay with my husband for a special birthday celebration. After the initial confusion re dinner bed and breakfast menu choice, we ordered two courses, steak/prime burger. Absolutely delicious food, prepped and served beautifully. So fine that we have re booked specifically for the dining experience. This morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast too! All staff were very friendly and welcoming. Such a refreshing change to encounter staff that seemed to really be enjoying their job. Thank you all, we look forwards to returning soon x
Had afternoon tea, a lot of food to get through. We all took doggy bags home, noticed other clients also taking food home.
It was really strange to visit this restaurant. It was almost entirely empty on a Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. when I would have expected it to be heaving with people having roast dinners and passing trade and etc. The food was ok but it was a little underwhelming. The starter we had was black pudding bonbons with mustard and creme fraiche and whilst they were fine, they were nothing to write home about. The dressing was literally wholegrain mustard mixed with a tiny amount of creme fraiche so it was really overpoweringly mustardy. The roast dinner again was okay but it was a little unbalanced with quite a large quantity of meat, only a tiny serving of potatoes, some overcooked vegetables, and a Yorkshire pudding which seemed like it came out of a packet. The coffee was pretty poor as it was Starbucks but that's not their fault because Starbucks is always awful as they make their roast very bitter. Fixed it with a bit of sweetener. The service was okay but there was a really uncomfortable atmosphere like the person serving didn't really want to be there or wasn't interested in being there. Which I suppose is entirely fair in a restaurant that's completely empty on a Sunday afternoon.
Food is lovely here, we went for the festive menu. Saw a few people having festive afternoon tea which also looked good. Staff friendly, helpful and polite. It was quiet for a Saturday in December but this suited us.
Used to love this place but the quality has majorly slipped. I was served a stupidly oversized burger that was just raw meat in the middle, my partners was the same. The server dropped one of my tables dishes and took forever to replace the meal, leaving one person eating alone. The staff don’t know what drinks are on tap and the kids selection is a joke. Ordered a garlic bread starter for a little one and they served a full pizza sized garlic bread which is just stupid. Walled garden have lost a customer here along with the extended family who also used to hold it in high regard
Lovely restaurant but really quiet for a bank holiday. Good food and good service.
Abysmal serving size. Ordered the lamb main course at £24 and received what can only be described as a starter.
We ordered the lamb main course for £24!! but it turned out to be a small starter size serving, 2 small potatoes, 2 small pieces of lamb and some peas. Nothing like the potos that we have seen on various review sites.The dessert portions were also small and one was frozen solid and had to be returned. The dish sizes are what you would get on a 7-course taster menu rather than a lunch time meal.
Good was OK, service good probably expected better with the new head chef
