"We booked a Table for 2 on Monday, 29 August 2022 at 16:45. We arrived at 4:35pm, was promptly taken upstairs to a baron restaurant. The decoration is marvellous, and a beautiful setting. We were given a menu, and promptly ordered. This was done around 4:40pm. At 16:43, i got a message from Open Table whom i booked with saying my booking had been changed “ Table for 2 on Monday, 29 August 2022 at 17:00”. I thought nothing of this as we were sat chatting, enjoying our drinks and waiting on our starters. At 5:05pm, my wife asked the waiter where our food was (we were the only table dining . To be told, there was a booking error and they do not open until 5:00pm (might want to change the board outside stating food is served all day!!! . Also… you might want to give your patrons who have ordered s heads up too!! Still waiting for our food, we heard a clatter. I jokingly said “I bet thats our food”. A few minutes around 4:20, nearly 45 minutes after first arriving. The chef came out and said that was our starting going down the stairs… so at this point, I was done with Mr Fox. We up a left, this will be our last visit. When this place first opened and Paul Ohara was chef it was fabulous. Last couple times, its been like faulty towers. I don't think this restaurant will last much longer based in this and its service. I wish the owners well, hope they can turn it around but we will nit be back."

We enjoyed the grilled flatbread, which was fantastic. The service was excellent, and the staff was very pleasant.

Reduced menu so decided to stay just for drinks. We were overcharged which was eventually rectified. Staff were lovely but too stressed and untrained to make drinks yet making them anyway.

On our first visit, we had a great experience. The waiter was very friendly, but our only critique was that the menu was somewhat limited. However, it didn’t really matter because what we ordered was excellent. Visualizza piatti

A Sunday dinner with a twist. Very tasty and nicely presented. Would have appreciated the price being written on the menu. Also found website difficult to negotiate. Was not sure what sort of menu available on Sunday lunchtime.

The waitstaff were friendly, but they appeared to be inexperienced. The scrambled eggs were wet and had some pieces in them, while the ham in the sandwich was thin and tasted cheap. The hot chocolate seemed like it was made with just hot water and had a bitter flavor. Additionally, the tea cups were stained.

Service needs to include tasting of wine by customer and then pouring by waiter in our case. Ensure ice bucket for white/rose wines. Great customer service by manager when fish mot properly cooked. Staff would be helped by additional training and how to converse with customers: Where t You from; had a great day etc all makes for a positive experience. I recognise some having their first day and shortage of staff in hospitality. But all the best for the future you deserve I. Visualizza piatti

Ordered Sunday Roast Beef x3 . Very disappointing couldn't cut the beef as too tough, the broccoli was in edible as it was crunchy and burnt with a dried up cheese coating. The Yorkshire's tasted of cooking fat. We left the place feeing hungry and out of pocket. They ask how your meal is half way through and proceed to walk away awkwardly when you state your not happy. Why ask? It was empty in there, with such beautiful decore its a real shame the food service let the place down.

waiters were very stressful to be around. they did not seem very coordinated or confident. we were asked to eat our food approx. 3 minutes after sitting before we had a chance or got a drink menu. the food tasted really good. but there was not enough of it. I have a kartoffel on my teller. another person was gluten-free. they took the yorkshire pudding and cheese broccoli away and replaced them with nothing. So her meal was even smaller than mine. this place has a lot of potential, but just falls short.

"Started off really well and went over to the counter and ordered a crepe with banana and Nutella and specifically stated no strawberries I also asked for a San Pelegríno still water as this was on the menu also. I was the first person to order and the last to eat in the end. I got brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water that I just paid £2 for what would I have liked to have seen ? We’ll when I asked for san pelligrino still water to be told that they don’t have that in. Finally my crepe comes and I take a bite and realise that it’s got strawberries in all the way through which I’m allergic too. One of my family members takes it back and says that I asked for banana not strawberry there’s a reason why I can’t eat it and didn’t want it on my crepe. Then 5 minutes later another crepe comes out that was my bitten crepe that someone had opened up and picked the strawberries out and put banana in. Disgusting absolutely … not sure if this was a mistake or just being stingy either way it’s not on. It then again gets returned because there is no way I am eating that and it gets explained once again there is a reason I can’t eat strawberries to which then one of the owners comes over to serve the correct crepe and apologise . I really hope a lesson was learnt today because cross contamination is not a joke. Please be careful when eating there. I didn’t get offered a refund but then again they were willing to serve me a bitten crepe again so it didn’t surprise me that much."
