    Another beautiful afternoon tea experience at The Grand, presided over by the wonderful Alyssa. Thank you for taking such good care of us - our guests from Brazil were bowled over by the quality and elegance of everything and enjoyed every moment.

    Honestly the food was kind of inoffensive but ultimately just tasteless. There’s an open kitchen but I don’t know what they’re doing in there. Service was lovely- 100% recommend for a drink but the food just didn’t do anything or have any flavor. Sorry guys.

    Sadly we were very disappointed with our meal at The Rise Restaurant. There was not a lot of choice on the menu, meagre portions, poor quality ingredients and some of the food we had was cold. With hindsight we should have complained on the night but because we were there for a special birthday for my husband ,I didn’t want to spoil the night because the meal already had. We were upset and quite shocked at how bad it was . Because we booked in good faith. On a positive note the staff were attentive.

    I expected a quiet lounge but it felt more like we were sat in a bar with tables very close. Quality of food very good. Service initially pleasant and very good. However when we asked a different waitress for our uneaten cakes to be boxed as other customers had done, we were presented with an empty box! My wife on her birthday outing was not happy. She asked the waitress to box the cakes which she then did. An unfortunate episode which soured what was meant to be an enjoyable experience. We won’t be going back. 12.5% service charge compulsory-I wouldn’t have paid it otherwise.

    Went for Afternoon Tea with my wife. We have been a number of times before so knew what to expect but it didn't let us down. The food is luxurious, inventful and makes your mouth water before a bite has been taken. The staff are all lovely from the minute you approach the front door to leaving. Definitely one of our favourites and we'll certainly be back.
