Extremely poor service from one individual member of staff - had an issue with the champagne glass which we had filled to which no apology and said would check it out - came back with an empty glass with no apology - didn’t say anything and tried to walk off before we shouted her back to get it refilled with what she had clearly thrown away and rinsed the glass out! Very poor I’m afraid

High tea for 1 vegetarian and 3 normal. All fine with the 3 tier stand but the hot elements first came as 4 standard, had to ask for the vegetarian. Food was good, service was a bit lacking
