**Restaurant Review: A Missed Opportunity for a Memorable Experience**
Fredricks, once an anticipated dining destination, unfortunately falls short of expectations. Patrons are met with a disappointingly limited menu that does not align with its Michelin-rated status, alongside a lackluster atmosphere featuring paper napkins and slower service. While the food boasts beautiful presentation and good flavor, the overall experience is marred by inattentive staff and a somewhat run-down environment. Guests seeking a special occasion may feel let down, as many aspects, from the ambience to the quality of service, leave much to be desired. Improvement is needed to restore its former charm.

I recommend sitting in the corridor instead of the main restaurant; however, the ambiance was somewhat disrupted by late arrivals rolling through with their suitcases. The room was more spacious than we anticipated, but some fixtures were a bit worn out—the bed valance was ripped, and the shower wasn’t great. The spa facilities were nice, but quite crowded in the evenings. There is a 'running room,' but unfortunately, the treadmill was out of order, and the screens on the bike and rowing machine weren’t functioning. Breakfast was rather basic, more like what you’d expect at a B&B than a hotel. When we checked out, the seafood surcharge and the service charge were both removed, which was a fair gesture. Overall, it was a pleasant getaway, but not without its shortcomings.
Very Disappointed evening. Menu cut down extremely and have nothing to do with 2 Rossete AA Michelin food/restaurant. Dont get fooled with any online menus!! No atmosphere, paper napkins and poorly service too. Food what we get was lovely presented and taste nicely but that's was all. If you expect a special evening like we did go somewhere else
We were the only ones dining in the restaurant, and the food didn't stand out considering the price.
The food was exquisitely presented, and the staff were outstanding! We had a wonderful evening, and I would definitely travel back to dine there again.

Staff were attentive but just lacked ambience....
We arrived to find out there wasn’t a chef and no Sunday meals were being cooked Very disappointed
I must say, I was so disappointed with my visit to Fredricks. My friend and I went for afternoon tea and were really looking forward to it. But we both found the experience really disappointing. Firstly the afternoon tea cakes looked nothing like the advert, nowhere near as fancy. The scones were lovely but we only had about a couple of tablespoons of cream between the two of us which wasn’t enough! The chap who initially gave us our tea was lovely but then once he had gone we didn’t see a soul. There was no one coming to check if we were ok or needed refills. I ended up drinking cold tea and my friend who had a coffee had nothing once that was finished. It wasn’t until we were practically finished that someone else came to have afternoon tea that we could actually grab someone to ask them for a refill! The ambiance of the afternoon tea was awful. Initially there was lovely music in the background but after about 15 mins it was turned off and we were left in silence. All we could hear were staff in the next room shouting to each other about something or other. There was no atmosphere at all and we actually felt like we shouldn’t be there! I’ve been to a number of afternoon teas and this was by far the worst one I have had. However this was my friends first afternoon tea and we thought that Fredricks would be fabulous for a first time tea..... but she was so disappointed! I felt really bad for her! : I don’t think I would come again.
The eating was beautifully presented and the personal was amazing! we had a nice evening and I would go back there.
Pretty average. Went for afternoon tea. The place is a bit run down now and in need of some updating. Staff were very difficult to find to get more tea and even to pay. Food was ok for the price.
