"I had a terrible experience at Thank U Next Brunch. My friend and I went to the Valentine's bottomless brunch to catch up, but it was a total nightmare from start to finish. When I arrived, our table wasn't ready, so I was told to grab a drink at the bar (which cost an additional £10 on top of the brunch). After waiting for about 15 minutes, a manager came over, apologized, and gave us some free shots. Despite the fact that the restaurant was quiet and there were only 4 tables doing the brunch, things did not go smoothly. The server took our order for drinks, but we waited 20 minutes and still had not received a single drink. The food arrived before our first drink, and we only received 3 drinks in the first hour and 20 minutes. The food was terrible - my friend's chicken waffles looked like Tesco waffles with dehydrated chicken on top, and my gluten-free chicken burger was extremely dry and came with burnt fries that cost an extra £3. The server was overwhelmed and had no help, as the managers/supervisors ignored her and walked away. Frustrated, our group and two other tables asked to speak to the manager to complain. The manager, who ignored us all, simply said "ok" and walked away. It wasn't until the table next to us complained again that he decided to discount the brunch for all of us. I was disappointed and disgusted by the manager's behavior. I was invited to the brunch via Instagram, and the least they could do is provide the service they promised to customers. It's a shame because I had been a loyal customer of Revs for years and knew people who worked there, but it was clear that neither the manager nor the venue cared about our experience."

"My wife and I stayed at Woodhall for our 24th anniversary on Monday 31st July. We had booked a room that allowed us to take our 2 dogs; one of which had just had a serious operation on her leg so was not supposed to use stairs. My wife rang what we assumed was Woodhall but now wonder if it went to a central HPH number? to be absolutely sure we had a ground floor room. She was assured that there ‘were no stairs at all’ and the room was on the ground floor. When we arrived the man on reception Richard was very cold, unwelcoming and condescending on his attitude I said we had a booking for a ground floor room with our dogs I was told there were no ground floor rooms ! so I went to the car with the dogs and my wife who had been assured re the booking went to reception. He was apparently totally unapologetic and rude saying only ‘well madam I don’t know what you want me to say ‘ my wife was visibly upset and he offered no apology and when asked if there was another way to our room she was bluntly told no! At this point we nearly turned around and left but luckily what we considered your star employee at the venue .Natalie, appeared and did everything she could to make things right she couldn’t understand how we had been told about the room but showed us an alternative route which was less stressful for our dog who managed to negotiate the stairs. Our room was lovely so no complaints there . We decided to have a snack lunch and I ordered a club sandwich but after some time was given a steak sandwich and were the only people in the lounge luckily Natalie was able to intervene . We then were concerned about our dinner reservation as we had booked the tasting menu but the leaflet in the lounge said it wasn’t available on a Monday when I queried it I was told we had booked a 3 course meal! Again Natalie intervened and contacted the restaurant who said yes we had booked the tasting menu by now we were rather hassled as you can imagine when Natalie found out it was our Anniversary she kindly sent us a complimentary bottle of bubbles. When we arrived for dinner we were of course handed the a la carte menu ! This was eventually sorted and the meal was excellent as were the serving staff. We checked out thankful for Natalie who saved the day ; in fact all the staff bar the receptionist were lovely. My , and your take out from this is that is a clear problem with miscommunication between your central booking and your local hotels and attention to detail needs to be better it cost us £500 for one night and for that price we expected a perfect stay which it could have been with the right staff on reception and improved communication throughout . We’ve had no response from HP Hotels of course"

"Went here for an impromptu lunch yesterday with my Mum. It 's not a table service restaurant, more so select and order at the bar like a pub however definitely a 'restaurant ' feel to it. The menu I feel would be good for most people although I am not sure about allergies/intolerances. Mexican/American/Italian (burgers, pizza, tacos etc). I am a (mostly) vegan and I 've never felt so 'seen ' as on this menu. Around 50% of choices were vegan. Staff were efficient and friendly. My 'very good value ' title is based on comparing this venue to other similar places as well as those more expensive and cheaper. My pizza was HUGE. I couldn 't finish it (unheard of) my Mum 's 'gyro ' was smaller but perfectly substantial for lunch. Of course with more upmarket places you 'd expect to not get as much but perhaps have it of better quality, however this has often been far from my experience! This venue is in the middle and was great. I do not think vegan pizza is tricky to get right, but from other venues I 've suspected that I am wrong. To me It 's just, 'make a pizza but use vegan cheese and meat subs if they want '. Some venues prefer to not use cheese at all -which is fine at times but still feels a bit like a form of 'othering ' and some offer very little in the way of toppings other than veg-again this may suit some people but for me it was uplifting to be able to just order something 'normal '! This is actually the first time I 've been out for vegan pizza and got something fantastic. My Mum loved her 'gyro ' (I 'd not heard of these) too. Very reasonable for drinks-£3 for half a beer and a sparkling water (which was free). Surroundings were great, rustic but clean and well-cared for. Lovely big venue, loos clean and kept up with, nice atmosphere Will definitely recommend. My only one gripe (which may be more personal) was that the place was quite cold. Not somewhere you 'd want to take layers off BUT, I appreciate it is a huge building with high ceilings and would cost a fortune to heat. And not everyone feels the cold as much as me."
