We arrived early and got a table which was great. However our drinks order was wrong - we ordered 2 x margarita and a glass of Sauvignon blanc with tap water for the table; 1 x margarita and 3 glasses of Sauvignon blanc turned up with 4 glasses, bottle of stilled water. The drinks were rectified and we didn’t bother about changing the water situation. The risotto was too wet, the penne was overcooked; the fish goujons were okay, but flakey enough. The steak and the halloumi were very good. The chips were well done too. The staff tried to clear our table we were finished, and we weren’t in the mood for dessert as we felt like we were rushed out… even though the restaurant was not busy.

I arrived at the restaurant only to find that the kitchen was closed at 4.30pm and could only have drinks. Thank goodness there is a fantastic Turkish restsurant next door where you can have food all day, excellent service and delicious deserts. I think there is a serious problem with booking system. The system allowes you to book but does not fulg out the fact that there us no food available at certain times.

13:00に予約して行ったのですが、先にTWININGのteabagの入ったポットで紅茶が供されましたが、サンドイッチをそれから作り始めたのか、afternoon trayが運ばれたのは32分後でした。 1型DMある方はインスリンを早く打ち過ぎると低血糖になる危険があります。サンドイッチは4種、ラタトーユなど珍しい中身で楽しみました。スコーンは柔らかく温かく美味しかったです。クロテッドクリームはおいしかったですが、イチゴジャムがプリザーブド、ゼリー状になっていて、ちょっと安価な印象を受けました。小さなお菓子はピスタチオが入ったマドレーヌと抹茶とイチゴのマカロンでした。日本人にはちょうど良い量と思います。物価高のせいか、為替のせいか、お値段より高めの印象を受けました。お茶やトレイを持ってきた女性は良い感じでした。

Booked for 11 people. Arrived in the dull, characterless restaurant and found they didn’t have my reservation. The uninterested waiter set up a table with 8 seats for my party of 11. We walked out.
