Possibly a little difficult to assess properly, as our booking was for January 1st. 2024. Pleasant dining room, great view of the river, and service very good.

We had a nice time for NYE but we did think it was a little overpriced. The quality & volume of food wasn’t fantastic and I would have expected a bit more. Staff were lovely & helpful.

Christmas Lunch was very unpleasant. Crowded. Food poor. Queue hovered our seating table the whole time making the atmosphere claustrophobic. Wait staff could not see our table hence no service for water or wine. Both items were requested and on the 2nd request got water but no wine was ever delivered. Food I felt was poor for the prestige of the hotel. Meat was cut very thick and unpleasant to eat. Vegetables were limited and stodgy. Seafood was of a better quality. Desserts were limited some fresh fruit/fruit salad would have been appreciated. I don't believe the time slot system worked because when we arrived at 12.30pm most tables were occupied. Maybe two sittings would have worked better. Also more serveries would have eased the long queues. A carver for each meat. This limited number of serveries (especially desserts) created the food platters emptying too frequently. In conclusion, the breakfast sessions were very good, however, the special Christmas Lunch will need some refining if I was to recommend it to anyone else. I was very disappointed in my experience for this special lunch which I was looking forward to and definitely was not worth the cost and the service I received.

The Christmas lunch buffet was poorly planned and poorly serviced. We had to flag staff to place a drinks order and it took 40 minutes to arrive. The line for the buffet meant some tables were swamped by people lining up. The lamb chops were chewy and fatty. Replacement of food and plates was slow, and only done once we asked staff for more. All in all, pretty disappointing especially for the price. Definitely expected more.
