    Wonderful atmosphere. Glorious views. Cooking not up to the standard we had expected. Turkey was over cooked, hard and dry. Sole wasn’t absolutely fresh and needed lemon. We didn’t complain because it was a birthday outing, but we were disappointed. We had a wonderful lunch on 3rd September, and so took our guest out because we expected first class cooking. Roast potatoes had been left keeping warm, and so nor crispy. Etc. Please bring the cooking up to the standard we had anticipated. You make good gravies and sauces. The vegetables were well done, not over cooked, and interesting. You can do it.

    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent visit. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, views, and our gravies, sauces, and vegetables. However, we’re truly sorry to learn that the rest of your meal did not meet the high standards you had anticipated, especially after your wonderful experience with us in September. Your comments regarding the turkey, sole, and roast potatoes are invaluable, and we appreciate you taking the time to highlight these concerns. It’s disappointing to hear that your meal fell short, particularly on such a special occasion. Please rest assured that we will review your feedback with our kitchen team to ensure we consistently deliver the quality of cooking we strive for and that our guests deserve. Bill
