   We were warmly greeted and shown to a lovely table. Unfortunately that was the only real service that was offered. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived with 2-3 other tables. It quickly filled up. It took c. 20 minutes before someone asked of we wanted water. And then another 30 minutes for main courses to arrive. The food was pleasant, but query the portion sizes which were modest for price. Dessert took another 25 minutes to arrive and unfortunately one of our guests had to leave beforehand. The restaurant acknowledged this, and adjusted the bill accordingly. All in all a pleasant enough experience, and despite delays, we would return to give them another opportunity to redeem themselves.

   Promoted heavily by OpenTable which was a surprise, the food was ok but the menu not exactly lavish nor focused, service was marginal with glasses left on the table, no water nor check-ins. It felt very much a restaurant attached to a hotel as an afterthought as opposed to the more unique ones that are seen elsewhere. Won't be coming back and won't be recommending.

   Sadly service too slow, not very attentive. Out of 6 meals ordered 2 turned up cold. Shame as restaurant has potential to be great. Will not be returning in a hurry

We'll be reaching out to you privately to discuss your visit further. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the service and quality we're known for.

   Took clients. Couldn't get attention of waiting staff to get proper cutlery to serve out meal. Wine wasn't topped up at all throughout the meal it took ages to request further glasses at the end of the meal, no one asked if we wanted more. The Lampery Fish pie was tiny and very dry. No one came to ask if we wanted dessert or coffees. Would not go again

These details are critical to providing attentive and seamless service, and we regret that this was not reflected during your visit. We also appreciate your feedback on the Lampery Fish Pie and will review this with our kitchen team and ensure it meets our standards. We'll be reaching out to you privately to discuss your experience in more detail and explore how we can make amends. Warm Regards, Nondu Dlamini Hotel Coordinator

   We were hoping to be able to partake in the advertised “Festive Menu” however it was not available. Service was very good. Food was tasty but a bit overcooked. Guinea fowl was very dry and slow cooked lamb shoulder was overdone.
   

   The LamperyResponded on December 6, 2024

   Dear Jeffrey Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the service, but truly sorry to learn that the Festive Menu was unavailable during your visit and that some of the dishes didn't meet your expectations. We strive to deliver the best possible experience, and it's clear we fell short in this instance. Please rest assured that your comments regarding the guinea fowl and lamb shoulder have been shared with our kitchen team to ensure we address these issues. We'll be reaching out to you privately to discuss this further and ensure we can make things right, Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Warm Regards Nondu Dlamini Hotel Coordinator

    Only Two white wines on offer, starting at £85 per bottle? Food excellent but not all dishes available on a small menu?
    

    The LamperyResponded on November 19, 2024

    Dear Stephen Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and appreciate your kind words about its quality. We were surprised to hear your comment about the wine selection, as our menu does feature a broader variety of wines, including more than two white options. We're sorry if this wasn't made clear during your visit, and we will investigate further to understand what may have led to this impression. Your comments have been shared with our team, we truly value your insights and hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience. Warm Regards, Nondu Dlamini Hotel Coordinator
