Feedback
Terrible experience! The food took way too long to arrive, the staff were unfriendly, and many items on the menu weren’t actually available without any prior notice. This was my second visit, and I was disappointed again. The only positive aspect was the beautiful location.
We made a reservation for bank holiday Monday, and it was my first experience walking into a pub where two lines of people were waiting to get drinks, which wasn’t a great start. After waiting 20 minutes, we were finally shown to our table and told that our waitress would come over to take our drink order. However, we ended up waiting an additional 25 minutes with no one attending to us. Meanwhile, a friendly family at the next table informed us that the staff was short-handed, the menu was limited due to many items being sold out, and they had been waiting for their main course for two and a half hours! With that in mind, we decided to leave and find another place to eat, as did several other tables nearby. I've visited this restaurant many times in the past and have always left satisfied, but this experience was disappointing. My advice to the restaurant is to communicate with your customers about staffing issues, expected wait times for food, and the limited menu rather than just seating them and neglecting them. I won't be returning on a bank holiday again!
