   A great choice of fabulous food. We enjoyed a delicious 3-course meal from the ‘supper club’ menu. Portions were very generous.

   I had a deeply disappointing experience celebrating a birthday meal at this restaurant. We arrived for a Sunday roast towards the end of service, only to be served a meal missing half the items listed on the menu. The only green vegetable provided was a handful of barely edible green beans—there was no cabbage, no roast carrots, and no creamed leeks. At no point were we informed that the kitchen had run out of key elements of the dish; had we been told, we could have ordered something else. Instead, we were charged the full price, as if they hoped we wouldn’t notice. To make matters worse, when booking online, the restaurant specifically asked if the meal was for a special occasion—but this was never acknowledged during our visit. I called the next day to speak with the manager, but they were unavailable. I was assured they would get back to me, yet after a week, I have received no response. While the food we did receive tasted good, I can’t help but feel short-changed. What was meant to be a celebration turned into a disappointment, and the lack of communication and customer service only made it worse.

   Dear Charlotte, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience during your birthday meal with us. It is unacceptable that you were not informed about the missing items from your Sunday roast, and I apologise for the oversight. Additionally, I regret that your special occasion was not acknowledged as it should have been. Your comments about the lack of communication and follow-up are concerning, and I will ensure this is addressed with our team. We strive to provide excellent service and it is clear we fell short on this occasion. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service. Best regards, The Burrator Team

   Food was delicious but service was slow. I appreciate it was busy on a Sunday but we were served our mains, no one came to check on us and our table wasn’t cleared until after an hour we went to the bar to ask for the dessert menu. Even then we waited another 15 minutes to again have to go to the bar to order. By this time it was quiet in the bar area. Shame as I would have gone back for the food but not the service!

    Served with drinks quickly but waited for food for ages ! Portions were allot smaller than I expected certainly for the price we paid. Roast potatoes were difficult to cut in to and the beans were rock hard almost raw! My wife' s steak was small and loads of sinew which spoilt her meal. Overpriced food for the size of the portions. Be prepared to wait for a very long time during busy periods. Would not recommend.
