Also people had sent steak back for being over cooked, i got my fish and chips after their 2nd steak.... The staff are a good bunch and were apologetic but I'm still disappointed in how long things took. While I was hugely disappointed in my initial experience, the only reason I didn't give it a 1-star is because of how they compensated us. We were given free garlic bread for the entire table as well as some free bottles of wine and to top it all off we received 25% off the entire bill. The food and service is really good, maybe not the best place for large groups.

Toms 101 Bar & Grill is a modern restaurant catering throughout the day, they offer afternoon tea, evening meals, Sunday roasts (sounded really good!) & you don't have to have savoury you can just go for dessert! They also do a "late lounge" cocktails, wine, lots of fizz and live music. I had the scallops for starters & the lobster Roll for my main, my partner had the classic burger - it was nice and I would visit again but seemed pricey, from looking at the menu they do have offers on throughout the day and Sunday's we just went at the wrong time! A great place to visit though if you want a relaxing meal, some English cuisine, followed by the pleasure of live music afterwards, family friendly too :-)

Their expansive drinks menu includes a huge selection of wines from over 60 bins, making it the perfect place for the wine buff. With their well-oiled kitchen team they provide excellent food at a decent pace, as your food never takes too long to arrive. It might also be worth remembering they serve a mind bogglingly good sticky toffee pudding. Despite having a tendency to hire staff for looks rather than brains, the front of house team are usually very capable. Its classy interior and open plan table arrangement means that the atmosphere is always good whether it's full or nearly empty.

Young. With my heavy addiction to chocolate it was clear that this was something that I just HAD to have. Turns out that this special is only on offer between 3pm and 5pm Monday - Friday, thankfully though I had two and a half days left of annual leave at work, so I decided to take a Tuesday afternoon off and well and truly treat myself. This chocolate afternoon tea was not served in the usual way, on a tiered plate stand, it was actually served in a wooden case, which had designated slots for each item (I have uploaded an image of the display as I cannot do it justice using just words). The menu was filled with chocolate, which of course you would expect, however I was pleasantly surprised when the finger sandwiches came out and the end one was filled with savoury chocolate and gorgonzola cheese, a sandwich which previous eaters had dubbed as a 'show stopper' according to our server. I cannot disagree with this statement in any way, shape or form, it truly was a flavour sensation and pieced together two things that I never would have even thought to use as sandwich fillings. Two different types of scones were presented, one of which was the standard scone with fruit and the other of which was a brown sugar scone. Within the box there was both fresh strawberry jam and clotted cream as well as a salted caramel sauce. It was suggested that we use the jam and cream for the standard scone and that the salted caramel sauce was used as topping for the brown sugar scone - this was excellent advice as I still got a sense of traditional afternoon tea, as well as trying something totally different (and also to die for, as the salted caramel sauce was pure heaven). The other cakes and treats were heavily influence by chocolate, there was a Moroccan spiced chocolate pot where every spoon full just melted in your mouth, a chocolate and pecan tart, which was a crisp pastry base filled with rich chocolate and topped with crunchy nuts and a carrot and chocolate chip cake (sadly this was not to my taste as I have an aversion to cinnamon, in which was heavily present here). The other cake sample was a rose crunch cake - at first I found it odd that something with no chocolate in it was used in a chocolate afternoon tea, however it worked perfectly as a pallet cleanser with its fresh flavours and soft texture. I absolutely adored the cocoa nib and mint tea - it was so delicious that I actually asked our server if they were selling it. I was informed that it wasn't the standard loose leaf tea or tea bags, it was exactly what is it called, fresh mint leaves mixed with roasted cocoa nibs with hot water poured over the top and left to defuse. I was lucky enough for the server to head back to the kitchen and bring me a small parcel of the ingredients (enough to make around three cups of the tea at home). Bearing this in mind, I would say that the service was exceptional, although with this being Harvey Nics, you would expect that in the first place. I did opt for a glass of champagne with my afternoon tea, which upped the price from £20 per head to £28, this of course is rather steep for one glass of champagne, however when you're treating yourself there's no reason not to push the boat out a little. I booked our table in advance, however I'm not 100% sure it was necessary as with it being midweek and during work hours, the restaurant wasn't especially busy, however as this is a limited offer, it might be worthwhile if you really don't want to miss out. This was one of the best afternoon teas I have ever tasted (and yes, I have tasted a lot). I'm hoping that this chocolate based afternoon tea returns to Harvey Nics in the near future. A massive well done to Mr Paul A. Young for creating such a masterpiece.

We bypassed the main shopping bit - it did look very fancy, if a bit shiny and "look but don't touch" for my liking - and went upstairs to the bar. It's a nice place, clean, shiny - a bit like the shopping bit. It was full of women (I was one of three men in the whole place), and definitely geared more towards them. Cocktail list was extensive - and I'm told the small selection the other half sampled were amazing. I decided to channel my inner-Don Draper, and stuck to Old Fashioneds all evening - admittedly, they were brilliant! Daresay, if I was female/a little less rough round the edges, I'd score the place higher - it just stuck me as a little souless for my tastes.

It was clear the server was struggling with the 6-7 tables so the manager and bartender stepped in to help. It took a little while to get our simple drinks out but that is not offensive with the amount of tables quickly coming in. However the food was pretty horrid. I ordered the soup and a side of cabbage and my wife ordered their famous corned beef. The corned beef is a pate style corned beef that is oversalted and feels like it came out of a can and had the consistency of fancy cat food. It flavor was sincerely lacking. The pork roll came out first with the cabbage. The exterior of it was lukewarm and dense. Cutting into it I found the meat was ice cold. It had clearly not been baked correctly which was surprising given it came out 15 minutes before the cat food. All in all it was very disappointing and not somewhere we would recommend going for food. Drinks maybe. 2 stars only due to a nice staff.

With exquisite food and drink, there is no better to spend your lazy Sunday afternoons either outside or in the restaurant. They have a large menu to choose from as well as a fully stocked bar. With a traditional setting and conventional features, this place is quite a picture. It is stunning outside and inside! With access to a large beer garden too there is no need for complaint. On site they have their own car park which has room for over fifty cars and is huge! With decking at the back, this whole place is excellently finished. What is even better is that they have a large function room available for whatever celebration you want with its own bar and open area outside. It truly is lovely. So if you are looking for something different or fancy a meal in the country, come to the Royal George!

We were drawn originally by the story that Mick Jagger use to go in here as he lived nearby. Then we were drawn by the meal prices, so we decided to pull into their car park and give it a whirl. First thing I noticed was how dark Wuthering Heights type building it is. I wondered if a Heathcliff was behind the bar but sadly there were only young ladies and a big tall chef who looked nothing like my hero Heathcliff. Inside, the rooms are all opened planned and large and there is a separate dining area. Once we were settled, we decided to order and I chose something I had never really had before and that was a steak filled with feta cheese. When I say it was filled, I mean stuffed. The steak was made into a ball shaped and once you cut into it, steaming hot feta cheese came pouring out. I would recommend this restaurant for any time of day, it is not only fantastic but cheap and cheerful.

The menu was pretty standard, so I quickly have chosen what to have and went to take a seat. The breakfast was of the right temperature, no twists, does the job. If want a quick fix ( depending on how many people are already there) while waiting for your train or stuff at Mosi, than that's the place; otherwise might want to check out things nearby. The wait was a bit too long - but again, this is a pub, not a breakfast place, so not sure it's fair to expect fast service at this time of day.
