    Service was exceptionally slow. Waited half an hour for water to be topped up after asking. Waited 20 minutes for dishes to be cleared from the table when the waiter said he would come and do it. Service charge added on when the afternoon tea was pre paid! Food was nice but the service let down the experience.

    4* is only because we were put at a table tucked round the corner with no ambiance which was disappointing. Never had food but wanted a rating
