"Sat 8/10/22..1900 – On good recommendation I placed quite an expensive order with The Lime Tree, for delivery. Over an hour and a half later, I’m still waiting for my food, so I made a call to the establishment, in order to find out what the delay was. I was told that my food was on its way and that it should be with me in 10 minutes. 15 minutes later, no food, so I made another call, this time to be told that it would be 5 mins. Anyway, over 2 hours 20 mins later the food was eventually delivered. No apologies from the delivery driver, who was on his toes straight away. Strangely enough the food was cold! I ordered the lamb madras, which came in a large foil container – 7 of the smallest pieces of lamb cubes floating around in the sauce, it was more like a lamb madras soup! The veggie curry was dry and lacking content also, the rice was dry and hard, the Bombay potatoes were dry and tasteless, the papadums were more like oversized crisps and as for the mango chutney, which came in the smallest plastic container ever, was watered down to max. ing awful, considering what I had paid. Not only does The Lime Tree’s integrity stink, their so called food was the worst excuse for a curry I have ever experienced, certainly not ‘A Delight in Every Bite’ as they clearly state and definitely not the ‘Gold Standard of Cooking’ they allege to ‘Maintain’. It was rank and something I didn’t ‘Indulge in’ which ended up in the bin! Is this the way you treat decent paying customers You should be ashamed of yourselves! I can’t comment about eating in, however I for one will not be using this establishment again and as for recommending, not a hope in hells chance..!"

"Booked in for a 6:30 dinner. Prefer to eat early. Restaurants closed however and invited to wait in lounge with menus. 30 minutes later finally invited back into the restaurant.More delay. At 7:15 they took our order. Not to difficult to choose, 6 starters, 6 main course and 6 puddings all in for £52 each. We'd had 45 minutes with the menus by then. Nothing else. But for £52 it should be amazing.Or so I thought ...Then an age awaiting our first course. 8 p.m. in fact. 90 minutes after our booked reservation.No drinks, only water.Food highly seasoned. Always a sign the chef is rushed and too liberal with the salt.At 8:45 we've eaten. Bill arrives more promptly than any of the three courses had.Now the shock. Not £52 each. £79 each. Would you believe they had the cheek to charge for the vegetables served with the main course. Not extras I should add, these were the vegetables served on the plate with the chicken fillet. So nothing we'd ordered just something that was dumped on the plate with the meats.Plus a compulsory 10% service charge.So kept waiting. Slow in all respects. Very average food, over-seasoned. Tiny portions. Hidden charges for vegetables that were never ordered.£160 for two? Never again. The Wernher should be ashamed of themselves. Chandeliers alone do not justify mega prices. We expect good food too.On the way out I was informed the kitchen had been staffed by only one chef and a trainee assistant. With over 50 covers.Save yourself a journey. Hugely disappointing."
