We informed the staff prior to our visit and they were excellent. They seated us in a booth away from other customers and we felt more relaxed. They couldn't have done more to make the day great for us and we have booked again for the restaurant. We were really put at ease. The food as usual was first class and the gluten free option was just as great. Would certainly recommend.

While the service was excellent, the food didn't quite meet our expectations considering the price. The savory options were tasty, but there was only one sandwich. The sweet treats seemed store-bought and we ended up leaving most of them uneaten. The menu also lacked some of the previous items, such as miniature soup or trifle/cheesecake. The conservatory, which had initially impressed me with its beautiful floral arrangement and decor, now appeared a bit tired, including the furniture. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and still hungry. For £42.50 per person, I expected more.

First class attentive and cheerful service, excellent, cleverly balanced menu, and very good presentation. Seating apart, a very memorable evening.
