Satisfactory Stay

wedding teamquick responsesbasic pub menuunavailable chef
The wedding team was amazing from the start. Their responses were quick! Meetings to discuss the wedding were easy to set up. They accommodated our needs, especially with three young children.
The menu was poor. It seemed more like a basic pub menu. The waiter did not know if the vegetarian dish had mushrooms in it. The chef wasn't answering his phone. It was a special anniversary meal for us, and this was disappointing.

The staff were amazing from start to finish. i found the restaurant staff friendly and helpful. the wedding team was fantastic. Dave made sure the wedding day ran smoothly and ensured the bride and groom felt at ease throughout the day.
the bar prices are quite high. they feel like london prices, and it does not reflect the hotel's style or rooms.
