An absolute nightmare afternoon waiting around 2 hours for food to be served. After we had finished eating, it took a further 40 minutes for our table to be cleared despite us asking twice. What's a real shame is that the waiting staff was an absolute delight (Maria and Sophie) and couldn't do enough for us when it was them that we were dealing with. It was the management that completely let the establishment down with their complete incompetence. Says a lot about a place when the so called management could learn more than a thing or two from their own waitresses.
Under no circumstances would I ever return. I would say I hope other people have a better experience in the future but after the arrogance from the management when we tried to give some feedback, I highly doubt it.

This place is totally amazing. We had booked our wedding at park hall hotel which went bust and won't refund our money the owner bill & his managing director helped not only us but another 10 disappointed and upset couples by offering to help in anyway they possibly could and tried to match our dates to as close as possible to the dates we already had, they showed us round this beautiful place nothing was too much trouble and the place was lovely, we are so pleased these genuine people came to our saviour I would recommend anyone to go and have a look around here and see for them selves what a lovely place it is and how lovely the staff are
