    If you would like a bottomless brunch… the abbey is no longer the place to go. They were under prepared with staffing considering there was a rugby match at 5pm. We attended for a bottomless brunch to which we arrived before our allocated time. We were sat for 45 minutes with no recognition of arrival, as the staff were too busy with the bar. We decided to leave and no longer continue the bottomless, which is very upsetting as we were all looking forward to it. I would advise that if you’re looking to do a bottomless, don’t go on match day as they will not be in a position to serve you. They were understanding that we no longer wanted to continue and allowed us to leave the venue with no issue.

    We did not stay for this - when I booked it Prosecco was on the drink menu but when we arrived we were told it had been taken off the menu withing the last couple of weeks. As one lady in our group only drinks prosecco it was pointless us staying - very poor that we were not informed of this and explains why the place was completely empty

    We sat down and our original server asked us to say (£180) we paid with £190 and they cane back and said we only paid £170, after we had counted it out in front of the server. The other servers we had were very pushy about getting the rest of the money, felt quite uncomfortable due to this for the rest of the event. The food was poor, and no one finished their food due to this. Tables were very sticky.

    My friends and I recently visited for the bottomless brunch after hearing great reviews, unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had. Despite the weather being over 30°C, we were refused permission to sit outside because we were told we “might do a runner.” This was particularly frustrating as we were required to pay for the entire meal and drinks upfront before ordering, so there was no risk of anyone leaving without paying. It felt more like the staff simply didn’t want the inconvenience of serving the outdoor area. The online menu available when we booked was also misleading. It offered a much wider selection than the menu we were actually given, which had only around six food options. Had we known this in advance, we would have chosen somewhere else. The drinks were equally disappointing. The cocktails were served in cheap-looking half-pint glasses rather than proper cocktail glasses, which felt poor considering the price of the brunch. There were also only six cocktail choices, making the selection very limited. The food quality was unacceptable. The halloumi burgers were burnt, as was the Margherita pizza, leaving both tasting overcooked. Overall, the experience was so poor that we left before our allocated finish time. Between the misleading menu, poor food, limited drinks, lack of customer service and the assumption that we’d leave without paying, this was not an enjoyable experience and certainly not one I would recommend.

    We booked a bottomless brunch after a previous good experience but were left disappointed this time round. We were in a group of 6, but 1 wasn't doing the bottomless. What is quite a simple request, we pay for 5 and not 6, seemed to be really awkward for them and we weren't greeted very well with this. The manager didn't seem to understand our request and we were reluctantly shown to our table, where they had to get another chair. Pretty simple! We eventually had our order taken and then the table next to us had theirs taken around 5 mins later. 15 minutes pass and we haven't got our drinks, and then drinks get taken to the other table. Not a great start. Service improved and from them on, I can't fault the young lady who was serving us. Then the chef tells us there is no cheese in the building at all, so pizza isn't an option! Not great when the choices were burger or pizza. Guess we have to like burgers or we've paid £36 for no food! Once we got our food, it was of good quality so we cannot fault them for that. We were left confused, though, when another punter got a pizza taken to their table. Oh well, didn't want a pizza anyway(!) We had no problems from there on, so we're sure we just caught them on a bad day but the start did leave a sour feeling for the rest of our experience.

    Booked a month in advance due to a group of 13 booking for bottomless brunch. Table unavailable- customers refusing to move. Nothing staff could do. We moved tables and chairs to sit at. Complementary wine for the delay/ issues. First round of drinks wasn't requested for a long time. When they came- they were incorrect. Food menu different- hardly anything. Came out different times- burnt pizza, incorrect orders. Some didnt come. 2 rounds of drinks- incorrect. Staff very apologetic but clearly struggling. We have had many brunches here over the years- but new owners need to sit with experienced staff to work through this.
