"I really wanted to love this place. But we went for a roast dinner today, stated on the phone we wanted to book for a carvery. Got to mead Hall and told them we were booked for carvery.. not here you 're not! .. erm, we called to book a carvery yesterday.. you 're booked next door at the pub then! .. not the best or most friendly customer service! So we head off next door and tell them we specifically called yesterday to book a carvery.. oh ill try and find out what went wrong! .. We heard nothing else about it. So we decided to stay and have a roast. 2 adults, 2 children. We had a good 45 minute wait for our meals to arrive. While we were waiting we discovered that 2 of the 4 water glasses on the table either had lipstick on or were filthy.. When the meals did eventually arrive, the beef was tough as old boots, turkey was dry, yorkshires were so over cooked that they just broke up as soon as you put your fork in, veg was stone cold and the majority of it was raw! Kids meals were missing their yorkshire puddings and we had to ask for them. We ordered a bowl of 4 extra pugs in blankets, we also had to ask for these. When they came to the table it was 2 pigs in blankets (one of which was raw! and some stuffing. We asked the waitress to correct this, she then informed us that they had run out of pigs in blankets, hence the stuffing. So.. because we 'd promised the kids a pudding, against our better judgement we ordered pudding. Mine was served on a filthy plate. I dont care if I 'm not directly eating from the plate.. it should be clean! Mine also had a lovely garnish of a band of black plastic on top of it. All in all, despite this place being highly recommended, we won 't be returning. The service was ridiculously slow, food was below average. Pretty shocking to be honest! Won 't be returning and won 't be recommending."

"We really like this garden centre and were looking forward to lunch in the main restaurant after a long gap as we no longer live near. There is an extensive range of meal options from multiple counters; that's good. There was a notice saying that...the (table) service might not be up to standard with the nationwide problem of staffing, that's understandable; in fact we found the service to be acceptable; the restaurant at pm on a Saturday was around two thirds full. The problem was with the food. Unusually the mushroom soup was the consistency of a minestrone very thin and definitely not a cream of mushroom although the flavour was OK; but not hot. Plates for mains were cold and the food was only luke warm at best. Cold plates should be a definite no-no for any half decent restaurant and a key issue for management controls. Fish and chips had a good batter but far too much of it hiding at best a modest portion of cod. Meat balls with tagliatelli was sent back for reheating done willingly but it should not have been needed. for two soups two mains and two regular coffees; on the high side for the standard. Pay on ordering. This is a big restaurant and there is no sound deadening so it was unacceptably noisy. Sound absorbing technology is bog-standard and is badly needed here for an enjoyable dining experience. It is also disappointing to see that the management rarely responds to reviews, good or bad. That's a great pity given that reviews provide free ideas for improvement and there are too many bad ones."
