"Once a year, we go out with two of our friends for a special meal to celebrate Christmas. This year, we picked The Cavendish, based on its reputation as a high-end restaurant, with fine dining, relaxed but top-notch service, elegant furnishings and a superb position. All of the things we expected were there in abundance: the service; the furnishings and the position (what a view! but the food! I cannot grumble about the food quality. Whilst not fine dining, it was good. The menu was varied and we had a choice of the normal menu and also the Christmas Fayre menu, or a combination of the two. Our starters ranged from scallops to crab, to chestnut soup. All were fine and the portions reasonable. However, when the mains arrived, the portion sizes were ludicrously small. My initial impression was that the waiter had brought us the chef's amuse-bouche at the wrong moment! I had ordered venison and, whilst I did not expect a whole stag on my plate, I expected more than a handful of postage stamp-sized miniatures! Other members of the party who had ordered beef or fish had similar experiences. I pointed out our disappointment to our embarassed-looking waiter. He apologised and offered to bring out some vegetables. Unfortunately, these never arrived but he did make a reduction on our bill. We all had desserts which, whilst not of Mr Creosote proportions, were of an acceptable size. We left The Cavendish with very mixed feelings. This is an expensive place which in many ways fully justifies what it charges. However, the portion size of its main courses is disgracefully small and therefore we will never go there again."

"for a afternoon tee with my two sisters and mama for a high-time celebration. we were booked for 12.45, we were shown on our table and a dame has an order for drinks. then she asked if we knew what to eat. After I said we were booked for the afternoon, she apologized and said she was not aware. she brought our softdrinks past, then asked if we wanted tee or coffee if someone had any allergies and whether we were obstinate or simply prefer scene. we have made our decisions and then we are almost an hour away! we asked how much longer our food would be and she said it was almost done. she said everything was made of fresh and therefore she asked for allergies and skeletal preferences. I think these information should be requested at the place of booking, so when they book for a time when they are ready to eat. this happens to other places where we had the afternoon. the food finally arrived, we had 4 small fingers of sandwich each. tuna, cheese, egg and ham. It was okay, but very easy. we also had a little salate and a few scratches. we had a scorp with each saw and jam that were beautiful. there were also two big cakes we had the half, some cookies decorated with the crazy hat-maker theme, which looked great but had no taste. during our visit we were not asked if we had a top-up tea or coffee that would have been nice. we were here before the day of the mother to the afternoon and there were 100 better than today. came away to have spent 77, feeling quite disappointed."
