   Never had an issue until today. Had requested a table at the back as one of the party is unable to use high chairs/stools but on arrival the table, you've guessed it, was available complete with hig seating! It took a "tone"in my voice to get it sorted and while I said "but we come here all the time and absolutely no issues having a table at the back" I was told "sure everyone else comes here all the time" but they blooming well don't have a disabled person with them! Anyway we got sorted and enjoyed our lunch but it did put a damper on it.

   Hi Frances, We are sorry to hear that your recent visit started off on the wrong foot and that we didn’t initially accommodate your request for seating as we should have. I can understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly given the specific needs that were clearly noted in your reservation. Please know that we take these situations seriously. We will be reviewing this with our team to ensure such oversights don’t happen again, especially when accommodating accessibility requirements. I’m glad to hear you were ultimately able to enjoy your lunch, but w truly apologise for the damper this situation caused. We greatly value your loyalty and hope to provide a much smoother experience next time. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. The Schoolhouse Team

   Food grand but service could be better and noise levels from ont table was over the top. Staff should ask girls screaming and slamming their hands in the table to stop and consider other patrons!

   Horrible service, i had to go down and order food. Second round of drinks never arrived. Waiters were not present, although it had half empty. They even ask for a tip.

    I don’t like to leave bad feedback but our experience of the Schoolhouse was poor! Yes, it was a Rugby match day but please don’t disrespect your customers by presenting overcharged meals badly. I was looking forward to a “GastroPub” experience but left feeling short changed. This was my first time visiting the Schoolhouse and yes, while disappointed I will be fair and give it another go in the future. To the management of The Schoolhouse, please don’t ignore my comments as I am only giving constructive feedback as requested.

    Dear Ken, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honesty and constructive comments. First and foremost, we sincerely apologise that your recent visit did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustrations. We pride ourselves on using fresh ingredients and aim to maintain consistency in both the presentation and taste of our dishes, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short of this during your visit. We’re grateful for your willingness to give us another chance, and when you do, we’d love the opportunity to make things right. Please let us know when you’re planning your next visit, as we would offer you a gesture of goodwill. The Schoolhouse Team
