We visited here a few times for Sunday lunch when our children were small. I remember the lovely atmosphere as they would have a trio of musicians playing trad jazz in the dining area & big chesterfield sofas to relax with a drink after lunch in the bar area. After having a wonderful afternoon tea back in January, my husband and I decided it would be a great idea to bring the family and grandchildren back here for Sunday lunch. We arrived early and enjoyed a cocktail in the bar prior to the lunch. However when we went into the restaurant the table was only laid for 6, and they said that they wasn't informed that it was 6 adults and 2 children. Now reception were very keen to take our deposit back in January, I also had an email confirming the numbers for the booking, so I'm unsure as to why the information hadn't been clear to the restaurant, but mishaps happen and that's ok. After this the only word I can use would be chaotic, I'd have been quite happy to return back to the bar and have another drink whilst they sorted the table, instead we were just sort of standing there. Once the table was laid, we sat down and was offered water.....I then wanted to find out how the menu worked with the children but I felt trying to catch the waiters eye was quite difficult......we then wanted to order wine for the table but again this proved to be quite difficult. It wasn't very busy either. I'm sure if they had a good front of house/maitre d' these little problems could be easily rectified. When we had settled, our waiter turned out to be friendly & funny. On the plus side it has a relaxed atmosphere, was lovely for the children. The food was delicious, although the roast wasn't hot when it was served at the table. They had a pianist playing in the bar area but you couldn't really hear it in the restaurant. It reminded me of being on a cruise ship & I'm not sure if this is positive or negative ....... Maybe we will pop back for a drink on the terrace in the summer.....
