All we can say is don't go here when they have a Wedding Fair. Even though there were very few covers in the restaurant, they seem to concentrate on food for the Wedding Fair. They should have told us. We don't expect people from the Wedding Fair walking through the dining room when you are sitting there for a meal. The food was good, but I would say that the staff are badly trained. I am no snob, but having been to a lot of restaurants, they don't know what they are doing and when our food was 1hour 10 mins late, the waiter said there had been an accident which puts you off. What accident? Have they dropped the roast beef joint on the floor? It cost us £120 for the privilege - we wouldn't go there again for sure. We are locals so they are crazy not to make a good impression. No apology - staffed by amateurs. No sign of a Manager. Also, toilets not serviced - hand towel had run out in both machines. Makes you wonder?????
