Ended up here after some searching around; because of the time of day. Food was good enough, but the guy that served us was really nice; bit of a chat while serving and a chat at the end of our visit; makes a difference.

Nice bar completely spoiled by bar staff accusing my self of using abusive language while they were serving someone else. All I can say is I did not. I will not be using this place again.

Disappointing afternoon tea experience. We paid extra for the Prosecco option utilising a wowcher deal. Unexpectedly we were informed as we had picked Prosecco we would have to pay extra for tea. We have had afternoon teas in numerous places and never had this happen. The afternoon teas arrived immediately after the Prosecco’s. The waitress never asked us about any allergies , my partner has an allergy to eggs and there were egg mayonnaise sandwiches , we told her about the allergy and quite abruptly she said to me can you eat them and will get some other ones. We mentioned to her about the smallness of the cakes , she told us they were what they provide, these cakes were dry. The whole experience was very disappointing. I complained to wowcher & the venue , the girl who replied from Curious Mr Fox was very unprofessional and implied that I was lying about our experience.

I’ve never heard of an afternoon tea where there is no tea, we ‘upgraded’ to the prosecco Which we paid extra for, but we were told no tea or coffee included in the afternoon tea at almost £50 I would not recommend, very small amount 2 finger sandwiches each 2 tiny cakes just above dice size, a decent enough scone, but no butter, but no tea was very disappointing, We left hungry, even the prosecco was a short measure,

Turned up later in the night after looking for this place most of the night walked and was greeted by a very pleasant Geordie lad behind the bar asked us what we wanted I went with the curious Mr fox which was basically servers choice I have no idea what I got but this lad was a genius with a cocktail shaker it was easily the best cocktail I've ever tried honestly his knowledge was superior absolutely fantastic experience thanks to this young Geordie in his pink cowboy hat honestly I think he deserves a raise or a bonus and his ideas listened to and put on the menu didn't catch his name but couldn't thank him enough and hopefully he'll still be working there when we next visit as we definitely will be back great bar great chilled atmosphere very impressive

Got afternoon tea at this venue and can say it wasnt worth the money paid and we were left disappointed. We had got it from wowcher but chose to upgrade to ‘ADD’ prosecco as well as tea and coffee to then be told in person you now have to pay extra for hot drinks as we paid extra for prosecco which is listed completely wrong on wowcher. The manager serving us on top floor had really bad customer service skills and she could be in the wrong profession.

Went for Sunday Lunch in early January - great experience overall! Bigger place than I expected (lovely upstairs area) and the atmosphere and decorations are very nice. Quite quiet at first but tables start to fill up a bit later. Hot chocolate was solid. Sunday Lunch was amazing, huge portions and fresh ingredients. Only minor con is the pork is a bit dry. Will definitely come back again and will recommend this place to everyone.

I came here for Sunday lunch yesterday, and the woman who greeted me downstairs was absolutely lovely and very accommodating on arrival. Once we were at our table, yes the service was still good and very polite. When the food arrived it was quite a shambles to say the least. The plate was placed on the table and gravy went everywhere including mine and my friends clothes and we were left to clean the mess ourselves.. The food itself was below average.. it looked pretty on the plate but to eat it, it wasn't very nice.. I left nearly all my meal and when asked if it was nice, I did make a point of saying how I did not enjoy it at all - to which I was asked if I would like dessert? I absolutely said no. We asked for a glass of wine with our meals and it took ages to come to the point we had to ask twice.. I understand it can be busy but the person we asked had actually forgotten.. I can't justify paying £62 for two lunches and one glass of wine which were completely below average - and am still unsure how the price even came to this? Either way I would not recommend the Sunday lunch! I will most likely go back in the future and try the weekly lunch menus as it is a beautiful place inside!

Food was bland we might as well have went to spoons. At least you know it’s mitcrowaves there. Spoilt a good day out, when we complained she asked if we wanted pudding…. No thanks it’s took me long enough to get a glass of wine. I won’t be back 🙄

We booked this restaurant a week in advance only for the to cancel the night before. We visited them to clarify and they reinstated our booking. When we turned up the booking had been cancelled again leaving us without a table for dinner on Saturday evening. The manager was rude and defensive and offered to put us in a small room with a hen party. Really poor communication and service, as well as no apology.

Amazing Party Venue Where to start! I couldn't recommend this place enough. They stepped in last minute when our original party was cancelled and went above and beyond. From the first meeting Corey listened to what we needed, made suggestions we would have never thought of and made the whole process effortless. The venue was beautiful and perfectly sized for what we needed. It's in an amazing location. The food was specialised for our requirements, taking into account what we and the birthday girl liked. All was delicious and there was so much. Corey even developed a specialised cocktail menu designed around my daughter's life which all guests thoroughly enjoyed trying. Abi, Alex and Ace, the bar staff on the night, also made my daughter feel so special - she never stopped smiling! If you are looking for a gorgeous party venue with a team who feel like friends - then this is the place!

We booked as a party of 5 for afternoon tea which was advertised as finger sandwiches, a fruit and plain scone, cakes and a glass of Pimms. When booking we advised that 2 of the party didn’t want butter on their sandwiches. When we arrived we were told that mayo was used and did they want no mayo, which they said they didn’t. What arrived was 2 plates of mixed sandwiches for the table of plain egg, cheese and chicken, with no mayo on any and difficult to tell what type sandwich you were picking up as they were all mixed up. All the scones were plain, when I queried this I was told “nobody eats fruit scones they just get left or people ask for a box to take them home which costs us money” The cream in the Eton mess had turned watery. Despite asking on arrival about the Pimms we still hadn’t been served it when we were finished eating and had to ask again! Staff started clearing the plates away before we’d finished. Sorry but wouldn’t go back, shame as beautiful decor and views!

He was really funny, very professional and he absolutely knows his stuff! For a couple of them we didn’t know what we wanted we just gave him the vaguest of flavour profiles and he came up with the tastiest drinks for us to make. And poor Tim. And Sidney running back and forth having to get different things as we changed our minds. Bless them we kept them on their toes! Highly recommend

Eventually a saucer was placed instead of the tea plates. We waited to be asked if we would like tea or coffee. After a while we twigged this wasn't included. We regularly have afternoon tea at different places and this is the first place not to have this included. While the food was ok it was pretty basic.

Went for afternoon tea and was put in a corner with stacked up baby high chairs next to our table which wasn't great why stack them next to someone's table looked ridiculous surely there's a better place afternoon tea was ok I guess and we were offered more sandwiches as there wasn't much on the plate anyway! Nice view from the table of the cathedral if you can see beyond the bars on the window! Overall wouldn't return.. Edited to reply to their response I was never offered another table at all!! And yes there was plenty of tables to choose from which remains the problem of why we were stuffed in a corner next to high chairs the cakes served were the size of a two pence coin so I cant say it was a bargain!

First time! Fantastic food, arrived quickly. Having struggled to find a great take away, this one is the one. Just about £50 for 3 starters, 3 mains, prawn crackers, delivery etc. Plus free chicken curry.

Always buy a sausage/bacon roll, cappuccino and a cream slice from there to takeaway, yummy

Food nice as always, tried the beef burger this time and would order again. I didn’t get the onion rings though, only noticed them missing from the order when I got home.
