Popped in here for a sandwich lunch and tea. The staff were very attentive and the meal was prepared quickly. Wife had Tuna and mayo (a favourite of hers) and I had Atlantic prawn sandwich. both were served with a small side salad and plain crisp. Unfortunately the Tuna sandwich had a bit of a funny taste, the tuna smelt OK so we can only think it was something in the mayo. At one point the owner came over to check if everything was ok, and whilst we did not want to make a fuss (other people on the same table) I did ask what he tuna sandwich had in it and was advised just mayo. The owner was concerned why we asked but we played it down as not not raise an issue about the food. I also tasted it and agreed that it was not right so my wife discreetly wrapped them up and threw the sandwich away. My Atlantic prawn sandwich had a lot of filling but too be honest no real taste and were smaller that shrimps I have seen and had in the past, so again a bit of a disappointment. Finally having ordered a pot of tea for 2, I was very surprised to get a tea pot the same size I have had in many other restaurants and cafe that was a pot of tea for one. It certainly was not what I consider a pot of tea for 2 like other places I have ordered from. Not a particularly good review from me for the Driftwood, but in all my reviews I am always honest and hope it will go someway to improve things, and is as it is on the day of my visit. I will re emphasise that the owner did show concern and stated that he wanted to make sure we were happy with the meal, but the area was crowded with people and did not want to draw attention to this situation. I will add that the whitebait on the next table looked excellent.

What a lovely lunch we had today. The food was fantastic ( thank you to the chefs ) and the service was great. Just the right amount of time between courses and all served with a smile. The food here is lovingly created, cooked and served and you can taste the time and effort . Brilliant 😊

Food is nice and good service but very over priced. Went her for dinner with a few friends mid week, all the meats they bring out are nice and so is the salad bar but at £42 a head and all draft beers were conveniently unavailable they charge £9 for 600ml bottle of beer plus we had a service charge of nearly £50 on top of the bill. Been to a number of very similar restaurants in cities for fraction of the price. We split the bill and paid around £70 each. As previously said food was nice but won’t rush back again as just too expensive.
