    Lovely Sunday lunch served by very enthusiastic attentive server. We had the Sunday roast for 4 and it was very tasty and plenty for us. A nice touch was the provision of a ‘doggy bag’ so that nothing was wasted. The particular advantage for us was that our wives are put off by a stacked plate, so could put on their plate what they wanted from the main bowl. The only feedback we could give is that in our opinion, the midweek food doesn’t leave many options for a ‘light lunch’ such as sandwiches or toasted sandwiches or soup.

    We booked a table for two for lunch today and on arrival while there were staff milling around we were ignored. After at least five minutes, we stopped one of the staff and told her that we had booked.for 1.00pm. She checked the bookings and took us to a table for six, gave us some menus and was not seen again. We waited 20 minutes without seeing any member of staff and at that point decided to leave. As we were leaving a member of staff came up to us and thanked us for our custom so we told her that we had had nothing and would be leaving. All in all very poor and we shall not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant.

    We had a coffee at the Glass House recently for the first time and liked the ambience and good service. So we decided to go back a few days later to try out the food. We both had the Glass House breakfast and weren't disappointed. The food arrived promptly and was hot, good quality and well cooked. The staff were all attentive and friendly. We had a table by the window with a sea view, which was lovely. It did get quite noisy, or maybe you could calling the atmosphere "buzzing" and the cups for hot drinks don't have a handle, so picking up our hot drinks was tricky until they had cooled a little. We would have liked the option of a pot of tea rather than a small cup, but these are minor things. We'll definitely go back and enjoyed our time there.

    The venue is well laid out super clean and high quality. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food portions were good as was the presentation however the food itself was over seasoned with multiple different flavours resulting in a confused and not particularly pleasant eating experience. I know the restaurant is new and hope the menu matches the venue and price quickly or I fear it won’t be around for long.

    It was my first time visiting The Glasshouse so I am not inclined to return. I wanted the lobster/crayfish brioche bun but they were out of lobster. My friend chose the garlic flatbread with chorizo and crayfish. She didn’t like to complain about it being dried up and overcooked because I was treating her for her birthday and we had waited an awfully long time for the food to arrive. Later we saw the same dish served at the next table and it looked far more appetising. My ham hock hash was also dry and not very tasty. We were very disappointed.

    Great selection of drinks and food. Came on a Sunday and ordered the Roast Platter for 4, which included mountains of food all well cooked. Easily enough for 4 people as advertised. Will definitely return
