Would be better if main restaurant was open in the evening.

Drinks: We ordered 3 drinks in total, all cocktails. They were well presented and had reasonable flavour, they were however expensive in comparison to quality. They also took a long time to make, we had already been served and finished our starters before getting our first drinks. Starters: we had the Hand Picked Crab and the Ham Hock, again very well presented, unfortunatly the crab was tasteless and the bread dry, the pink grapefruit with garlic? oil on it was unusual and frankly not to my taste. Mains: We wanted to order the Beef Cahteaubriand, unfortunatly this wasn't available today and we're advised it wouldn't be tomorrow either, we went for the beef bourguignon instead. Again, the dish was well presented. Unfortunatly it was significantly over seasoned with salt, the single carrot was hard and the mash, although not smash, tasted like smash. The beef itself fell apart but was so oily and greasy that it costed your mouth. A large portion of food was left on both our plates despite being a small portion served. The server asked if we would like anything else, which we declined. Dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding, nothing to write home about, a reasonable desert although it looked like it was probably out of a box as opposed to home made. Service: Polite but slow, noone checked on how we were doing during either the starter or the main so we didn't really bother complaining other than making a comment about the salt and oil, by the time we made this comment we were already damp (see below) frustrated and ready to leave so didn't prolong any further by ordering more mains. They did take notice of allergen requests and ensured this was adhered to. Environment: The bar felt a bit like a Weatherspoons, the dining area initially looked nice, however on being seated we were moved table by the server as he noticed that there was water leaking onto the table. The second table we were sat at subsequently had the same problem with drops coming through the roof and into our drinks and food. When the heavy downpour started outside the weather streamed down the light fitting and I ended up quite soddon. Overall: 1/5, presentation was nice but everything else was lacking, the final bill came to ~£130 for 3 drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains and a dessert. We are in the hotel for a second night and are looking at local restaurant options as we won't be eating at the hotel again. Weatherspoons quality, inner London price tags. Room 303 - 12/9/2024

Basic place to have coffee. Staff not friendly or hospitable. Limited choice of bakes & cakes. Very little atmosphere and uncomfortable seating.
