Really
lovely
but.....
SLOW!!
I
ate
here
for
the
second
time
today
(Sunday
11th
July
2021).
It
was
a
special
family
meal
to
celebrate
a
birthday.
The
quality
of
the
food
and
coffees,
together
with
the
luxurious
ambience
really
make
this
hotel
feel
very
special.
The
food
was
absolutely
delicious
and
the
staff
do
try
to
provide
a
professional
service
at
the
table.
But
the
service
was
incredibly
slow
and
somewhat
disjointed
with
the
coffees
arriving
over
a
period
of
about
15
mins
(after
a
half
hour
wait)
and
the
desserts
then
arriving
about
15
minutes
after
that,
again
spread
over
a
15
minute
period.
Very
odd.
I'm
not
blaming
the
staff
because
they
were
probably
just
short-staffed
and
that's
always
management's
decision/fault.
The
gardens
are
wonderful
too.
I've
given
5
stars
but,
as
I
said
earlier,
the
service
can
be
slow.
PS:
Really
enjoyed
the
young
guy
kneeling
down
in
the
restaurant
and
proposing
to
his
girlfriend
in
front
of
us
all.
Fortunately
she
said,
"Yes!"
Congratulations
to
both
of
them.
I
ate
here
again
today
-
16th
October
2022
and
the
service
was
so
SLOW
...
AGAIN!
No
real
problem
with
the
starters
and
main
courses
(and
they
were
tasty)
but
we
then
ordered
coffees
and
desserts
.....
The
coffees
were
served
after
about
20
mins
and
were
nowhere
near
hot
....
and
then
we
waited
....
and
waited
....
and
waited
for
the
desserts,
which
took
another
40
minutes
plus.
Unforgivable
at
this
price.
Yes
there
was
a
table
of
15
who
received
their
main
courses,
which
probably
caused
the
delay
in
our
desserts
but
that
happens
in
many
restaurants
so
this
one
has
to
find
a
way
of
coping.
No
communication
about
the
delay
until
we
complained.
No
offer
of
free
coffees.
No
explanation
as
to
why
the
coffees
were
served
40
minutes
before
the
desserts.
Don't
the
waiting
staff
and
kitchen
staff
talk
to
each
other?
Obviously
not.
I
was
not
paying,
for
which
I'm
very
grateful.
At
these
prices
you
have
to
do
better.
And
another
thing
....
my
wife
really
fancied
the
sweet
cheese-filled
pancakes
from
the
children's
menu
for
dessert
....
but
our
waiter
told
us
that
the
owner
had
forbidden
the
staff
from
serving
dishes
from
the
children's
menu
to
adults,
as
they
were
priced
lower.
Seriously!
A
table
of
8.
A
bill
of
maybe
1,000
zloty
and
my
wife
is
refused
a
children's
dessert
on
principal.
That's
a
really
poor,
short-sighted
attitude
on
the
part
of
the
owner.
