Usually a great experience but I had a few hiccups on Easter Sunday: 1. I booked online and requested a table in the bar, yet, on arrival they said the booking was for the conservatory (which I'm not keen on as it feels canteen-like and not very homely). The man was fine though and did give us a table in the bar. 2. When ordering food I was told only the Easter menu was being served which was a 2 or 3 course menu. However, online, I'd been asked to select the Easter or the Sunday menu (which I was pleased about as I normally only eat a main course). So, we had to eat 2 courses. 3. When my husband asked what non-alcoholic beers they served, he was told "Go and have a look in the fridge. We've got loads". We expect bar staff to know what drinks they sell and, even if they can't name them all, be able to at least tell us the main ones, not to have to walk about 15 feet around the bar to look for myself. 4. One of our party had Carrot and coriander soup which was lovely but, he'd only had two mouthfuls when a waitress brought out 2 of the roast lamb shoulder main courses. I told her he wasn't finished the first course yet and she apologised and took them away. She did apologise again when we were ready for the main course. 5. For the main course, all 3 of us had roast lamb shoulder and, frankly, for two of us, the lamb was overcooked and dry. (It tasted as if it had been re-heated and not fresh). In the past, we've had lamb there and it has always been exceptionally well cooked. The mint sauce, served in cute little pots, was also very watery. 6. Desserts: - Sticky toffee pudding was extremely good with perfect sponge, and beautiful sauce which was not too sweet. Cinnamon Apple crumble with custard was fabulous with a lovely crunchy topping. It was so big though - easily big enough for 2 people. Thd decor in the bar is lovely and cosy, yet dark and modern. All in all, the food was okay but the lamb is usually to die for and hopefully it will be again next time.
