Just had the most fantastic afternoon tea here. The food was amazing and the staff fantastic. Would encourage everyone to give it a try. Will definitely be back. I have had afternoon tea at Harrods and this was just as good

Service very slow, poor and disorganised. Group of 6. Strangely asked if we wanted our starters as main meals, then asked if we wanted our starters at the same time as our main meals???? Sat with our finished starter plates empty in front of us for around ½ an hour. Asked for another bottle of water, girl brought it, looked at empty plates then just walked off!! Were there 1½ hours before main course arrived. One dessert didn't arrive. The whole waiting service was disjointed; nice girls, but either very inexperienced or under-trained or both! Not their fault, it felt like they had been thrown in at the deep end. Management might want to invest in their staff a bit, because although the food was OK, we probably wouldn't return.

Have been several times but breakfast this time was terrible scrambled egg on brown toast that had not been toasted and egg was cold. One piece replaced for me. My partners full breakfast was poor as sausages were tasteless and his toast was only toasted on one side and cost £14.95! Exactly the same breakfast in Sussex last weekend was £5 cheaper and 100% better. My breakfast was £3 more expensive. Hardly anyone else eating and no atmosphere.

Went to The Greenhouse, Norfolk for Mothers Day Sunday lunch . Pre booked our table which was so easy to do . On arrival there was a photographer there to take your photo if you wanted it taken . We did this as you never know with an elderly mother how many more memories you will have . A great special occasion extra which was thoughtful. Great atmosphere, tables had fresh vases of daffodils on them . Menu was very good, with lots of choices . Starters , mains and deserts. We opted to have a main and a desert . Waitress service was great . Drinks came quickly . Food came quickly , fresh, hot and well presented . Was so delicious. Large Yorkshire puddings. All homemade . Credit to the head chef Adam Cooper. Best Sunday lunch I’ve had out . No washing up for me . Will be returning for Sunday lunch in the future . Great to be able to meander through the garden centre afterwards… a little walk after that Sunday roast …. Fantastic

Went for Sunday lunch for mother’s day after hearing very positive things. I was extremely disappointed in the whole experience. From waiting over 30 minutes for drinks which arrived at 3 different times of which I’m unsure why it took so long as the restaurant was not very busy. The food was horrific and that is being kind. It was cold, dry and stale. We complained and the staff were apologetic and replaced the food. I’m sure this would have been a fresh dinner but it was exactly the same. Cold, dry and stale. We told them we couldn’t eat it as it was disgusting. When we left we were told to pay the full price for our drinks, I was disappointed in this as we would happily have paid if we had decent food. If anyone goes and has this experience do not drink your drinks and leave immediately. I will not return and I will not recommend to anyone. I feel let down by the management. I have shared my views on many different social media platforms as I never want anyone to be treat like we were.

Very good food at a reasonable price. Very welcoming staff and a very well stocked bar and sitting area. Make a day of it with the rest of the day in the garden centre and shop.

You need to read the reviews regarding the lack of service in the restaurant. Three of I visited for coffee and cakes. There was mostly young staff who seemed incapable of serving. We sat with menus waiting for around 15 minutes to be served when a waitress walked past to clear a table at the far end of the room. There were only about four tables occupied so common sense should suggest taking an order first. After another five minutes we left. Staff standing around is not going to bring money in which is surely why you are in business.

Every time we visit we are treated like family, we had the roast and it didn’t disappoint 10 out of 10 for the chef & staff. Eton mess all round for dessert, what a fantastic finish to a very tasty meal. Keep up the good work

Service was terrible Waitress showed us to our seat then ignored us. 25 minutes later after 2 other couples who arrived after us had been served we decided to leave. This is the second time this has happened to us. The first time 6 weeks ago on a Sunday we were seated and after 30 mins had to ask to place an order due to the wait was told there wasn't any roast potatoes left. After today's service we will not be returning to this restaurant two bad experiences is enough. Ruined our day out considering we drove 45 minutes to visit this place again. Very disappointed and unhappy.

I came for a meal with friends, decided to try a different style cuisine. Staff were polite and friendly, asked for a substitute of chips instead of salad, not to keen on the rabbit stuff 😉 Food was very enjoyable and tasty! I enjoyed how it came out hot, the fact that it was different, the meat was juicy and tender. 😋🤤 100% recommend one of the burgers! 🍔 I’ll definitely be returning! Thanks!

What a great Christmas party night .On arrival we were offered a Bucks Fizz, Prosecco or Orange juice. Great welcome . Had a drink at the bar , then proceeded to our table . Great service . Very good waitresses . Food so tasty and well presented . Was looked after by waitresses who actually had a personality and who seemed to care . Great night all round . Those who didn’t book a Christmas party night really missed out. Great food , great service and a nice disco . A night to remember .

Met a friend for breakfast, neither of us had heard great reports about the place, but thought we would try & see for ourselves. Was taken aback by how lovely the place looks when you walk in, especially with the fantastic Xmas tree. We waited to be seated, as the sign said.. and we waited, and we waited, and we waited!! Two members of staff were milling around & talking to each other behind the bar, but totally ignored us! Eventually, without even looking at us one shouted "be with you in a minute" several minutes later, they weren't "with us"! After a total of 17mins being ignored, we gave up & walked out! Went to Arbuckles and had a lovely breakfast with excellent service!

Probably my worst WS meal ever. 3 sausages almost burnt, they were tasteless and well overcooked which I said to the server who grinned at me. The chips as usual most were hard and inedible, peas hard. Served in a bowl with gravy all over the chips. WS has had a problem with hard chips for months, I have complained to staff and emailed head office to no avail. Thats it I AM NOT eating at a WS any more.

Two adults and two dogs enjoyed our weekend at the GTI. From arrival, the personalised touches really made for a memorable experience- homemade cakes, gin and tonic in the suite, relaxed but efficient service and delightfully presented accommodation. The pub and restaurant is wonderful, the food is exceptional. The service was wonderfully attentive and relaxed, the prices were good value. We ate in the restaurant and the pub, both menus were superb. We visited beaches, ran around the Downs, shopped in Burnham Market and Thornham Farm shops.
