Booked in to try the Sunday roast and was not disappointed! Great value for money, the setting is beautiful and the food was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and we loved the homemade sides - special mention for the crispy roast potatoes and cheesy cauliflower cheese! We will definitely be back!!

This was our first time visiting The Glasshouse Restaurant and I don’t think we would return. The service was appalling, some of the staff most definitely need updated training on customer service. The table was dirty, cutlery missing, even though it was already set for the dinner service. Our daughter was served a coke in a filthy glass, only finding this out once she had drunk half the coke and the red sludge around the inside of the glass became visible (stomach churning) and we dread to think what it was. The food was actually really nice, which is a shame as it was just the poor service that let it down. We would have liked dessert, but I think the waiter must have been offended, when I told him my daughter was still eating when he tried to clear our plates, because after this, nobody came to ask us if we wanted to order dessert or anything else for that matter. In the end we got fed up waiting and paid the bill and left. Luckily for us this wasn’t a special occasion as it really did spoil our evening. I do believe we were unlucky as other diners appeared to receive much better service than we did. Needless to say, we didn’t leave a tip, which says a lot as we generally tip really well for good service.

Came for the roast . Meat was awful , fatty and poor quality . Veg was nice . Potatoes were so dry . Carefully counted out at 2 potatoes per person and 2 stocks of brocolli each, would have appeared the presentation on the board was more important than dishing out a decent sunday roast . Children's burger over priced , so dry served with nothing but a tiny side of tomatoe sauce . We were left and never once approached to ask if food was ok. Perhaps service staff knew it wasn't . The person looking after our bill took 20% off, they didn't seem surprised by our feedback . Was a waste of money and not a good meal out which we were looking forward to, disappointing given the prices and location. Better at social media than actually service or cooking .

We were in for the Sunday Roast offer that had launched that day. We were in at 5pm and were one of maybe 3/4 tables in the restaurant so the atmosphere was odd, a bit too quiet for a Sunday in my opinion! Food wise, it was fine. The beef didn’t look anything like the advertised version (I’m aware that no two roasts are the same) but ours was very rare (cold), thinly cut and quite fatty. The sides were average and nothing to write home about. The service was great although we asked for water and didn’t receive any and were left with our finished plates for a while as the couple next to us were being attended to quite well. Nothing bad about it though. It was our first visit to the glasshouse and unfortunately we’re not planning our next visit any time soon. From talking about our visit for weeks, we left a little disappointed.

Our table was only set for two when there were three of us. Seemed to be enough staff but not very organised. One variety of cakes was missing from our cake stand but was brought out later. Was ok but expected better. Venue is lovely and surroundings beautiful.

Despite having preordered our meals it took close to an hour for our table to be served with our order which was very disappointing.
