"Everything in the White Heart is disorganised. On arrival you are just ignored. When you do manage to get attention they have no idea on what to do. Drinks are not offered you have to go to the bar as no waiter available. The revamped tapas menu and build your own meal are a good change to the offering. However the staff have no clue of what the dishes include so you are left to work it out. From ordering to meals arriving 45 mins. Just plonked on the table by waitress and left. No offer of sauces etc or maybe a second drink. No check is the food OK. So back to bar to queue and carry your own.drinks back. Then when you get your bill from the bar they add 12.5% service charge to everything. What a joke as there is no service. They were unfriendly throughout. We live local and really like how the hotel is laid out. Whenever we visit we struggle so it's no fun. This hotel and restaurant needs a manager who knows their job. Staff need training."

"We stayed at The Watership Down Inn for one night as we were visiting the Bombay Sapphire distillery for a tour and had booked dinner at the Inn later in the evening to celebrate our anniversary. Upon arrival we were shown to the room. with...no real instructions indications as to breakfast times (the exact words were maybe 8:30ish, maybe 9:30, we'll let you know We did ask for this later into the night at dinner, and again were told rough timings but warned that these may change. Upon arriving at dinner, we were shown to our table, the bar staff seemed to require further training as they were unaware of what Campari was, or how it should be served (my partner had to point the bottle out on the bar). There was one waiter in particular who did seem knowledgeable, however, and managed to make classic cocktails for the couple beside us clearly a great asset to the team! The meal itself was great, high quality ingredients and we felt reasonably priced (including a bottle of red). Smaller things during service, however, were missed our water glasses were filled once and once only, my plate was removed within mere seconds of my final mouthful, and despite having added that it was our anniversary to the booking, there was no recognition of this (Why ask The room itself was spacious, the bathroom was a great size and very beautiful. The surroundings were again absolutely stunning. We had a terrible nights sleep, however, as the fire escape light (and 3 other bright green spotlights) were on all night leading a path to the door and the double bed was clearly two mattresses combined, meaning the middle of the bed had a gap to fall into throughout the night. Breakfast service was delayed due to a power cut throughout the kitchen (again, cannot be helped and completely understandable given the circumstances) at breakfast we did mention a few of the above issues, and were offered no real compensation, hence this review. Overall we probably wouldn't stay again, as we felt that for £100+ a night we would be given a warmer welcome, and that some of the issues we raised could have been compensated for upon our departure (a drink or a snack on the house for example would have been a lovely gesture)."

"**Dining Experience** **Meal Type:** Lunch **Price per Person:** £100+ **Food:** 4/5 **Service:** 4/5 **Atmosphere:** 3/5 I recently had lunch at this restaurant and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was quite good, earning a solid rating of 4 out of 5. The service was attentive and met my expectations, also receiving a 4 out of 5. However, the atmosphere slightly fell short, with a rating of 3 out of 5. While the meal was enjoyable, the ambience could use some improvement."

"The restaurant doesn't look appealing from the outside and also looks closed. Although not very busy we were given a table near the counter where takeaways were ordered which was a bit annoying during the meal. When the main course arrived the waiter tipped the rice onto our plates instead of allowing us to serve ourselves to the amount we wanted. We were disturbed by four different staff members asking us if we were happy with the food, which was a bit obtrusive whilst trying to eat. The ice-cream desserts were over priced so bought one in the Co-op over the road. The food was excellent which made up for the odd experience."
