    This place proves you may have money but it don't buy class. It stays two stars but I did consider…read more1 star. For many years we've ordered our Christmas desserts - the pavlova is quite good, the sponge cake is excellent and the lemon meringue pie is truly awful rubbish apart from the meringue topping. All the dessert, cake and pastry prices really are top dollar for what is largely industrially processed, cheap fat and sugar - no butter in sight in most pastries. Their butter shortbread at £4 has butter but M&S is far better quality, less ingredients and far cheaper - a local bakery should be able to beat M&S on prices. We had stopped buying their flaky mince pies a few years ago as they are margarine based cheap fat with an unpleasant aftertaste while again M&S offer much more tasty butter flaky pastry at half the price. We also stopped buying the lemon meringue crap. And for my observation about class well it's this: Like many others we collect our goods on Christmas Eve and with Wu flu the queue outside on a bitterly cold winter morning, with a sharp wind, was very long indeed. We were in the queue about 40 minutes and noted others queuing comment on why the management weren't offering those queuing and freezing complimentary tea and coffee to warm them up. Goodwill is missing here. Once inside the social distancing evaporated so we froze for nothing which is falling. Fact is tea/coffee is a nominal cost and on a bitter winter day it's the human thing to do. As I said ya might have brass but it don't buy ya class.

    Food is amazing. Cutlery and dishes have always been clean. Food isn't greasy or oily and the chips…read moreare perfect. 10/10 would recommend
