We have been there 3 -4 times over a Ten year period so had a good expectation as to the rooms and more especially the food. However, this place is now a shadow of what it once was, The Taster which is why we had a revisit was very disappointing it says 7 courses if you could count a cob slice of cold bread followed by a similar bread with a pate ( sorry Chicken liver Confit) as dish number 2 the main course in this taster was beef served tepid all other dishes are served cold, The 3 course set meal contains at least 1 of the dishes off the Taster menu and portion size is hit and miss, in fact a guest we were sat next to commented that her main dish on the 3 course meal was twice the size of ours, mind you that was Friday and we had the 3 course meal on Saturday. At no time during both meals was there a member of staff available, the only time they appeared was with plates to serve the guests then they went away . Breakfast Saturday was again not up to scratch as no one was there to greet us and take us to a table, we had to go looking for the waitress who was in the kitchen leaning on a worktop having a coffee, when eventually we sat down the breakfast menu was not explained to us, it was another guest sat near by who asked if he could have corn flakes and a fruit juice as well prior to his full English breakfast at that point it had not been suggested to him nor mentioned. Sunday service was marginally better as the breakfast was explained to us.
