Availability
When trying to pay as a group of 18 we wanted to split the bill between us equally rather than paying each individual item, but as some were paying with card they were only allowed to pay for what they had eaten, and as some had payed cash it left them paying more than the card payers, it was a very frustrating situation. Our table also wasnt ready half an hour past when we booked it due to someone else being sat at it, although they were good and gave us 2 free bottles of wine to make up for it
Lovely meal, great service will be back soon
Lovely food just a tad expensive
Really attentive service received and appreciated. Gorgeous food. Only tip the coffee was very weak and not very hot.
The staff were amazingly helpful to tweak a salmon dish for me so that it was gluten and dairy free as I am intolerant to both. Outstanding care and attention from them produced an excellent meal which I thoroughly enjoyed. Am rarely able to get such individual attention and therefore rarely eat out. My meal here was a real treat. Thank you!
We went for pre-booked afternoon tea. Tykes has a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, very quiet on the day we visited. The greeting and seating and service in general was excellent and the food was good. We have been before and we will be visiting again.
An excellent choice of menu. Food cooked and presented beautifully. The staff were very friendly and gave excellent service. Just a small point- the large restaurant space lacked intimacy. The washroom facilities were beautifully clean. We enjoyed our pre dinner drinks in the bar area. Thank you. An excellent venue for our birthday celebration.
An amazing experience with fabulous food. Brilliant staff that couldn’t do enough for you. Really helpful and welcoming
Just the best location, atmosphere, food and service. I have been going for years and it is always fabulous.
Our Sunday lunch was great and very filling would have preferred an option for cauliflower cheese as an extra ,although the veg was lovely , I would definitely recommend Sunday lunch.
Another great visit to Tykes for the Wednesday steak night, we have dined here a few times and always visit when in the area. the food was very nice the steaks were cooked to our liking and the onion rings were the best, the staff were attentive and very friendly so we will definitely be back soon
We felt there wasn’t much choice on the menu. It would have been nice to see a non spicy chicken dish like Kiev or chicken burger or a beef burger. Didn’t fancy a pork and beef mixed burger . And in starters a prawn cocktail would be nice. A dianne or mushroom sauce would be nice with the steak. Also if we can choose any two courses on the lunch menu like main and desert. Also more choice on deserts sponge and custard or cheesecake
Fantastic service made to feel at home while being served 5 star food
We came for steak night as we have done several times before and will do again . This time we had sirloin steaks but found them quite tough. We appreciate that meat quality varies. I don't know if you have a new supplier I would say if this was our first visit it would probably be our last but for us it was a one off. Service was excellent as always I must say if this was our first visit to you it would probably be our last
Very nice lunchtime with my daughter. Good service, great food, nice surroundings.
A lovely hotel restaurant the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was ok just standard hotel food nothing exceptional.
Superb food. Steak cooked to perfection and nicest chips ever. Also breakfast buffet the following morning. Outstanding
We went to tykes as a large group of 16 on Easter Sunday. The whole experience was lovely and the staff were amazing. Very attentive and super friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we would definitely recommend.
Brilliant food and amazing desserts. Staff extremely attentive and will be returning soon
Very friendly attentive staff who made the visit very enjoyable.
Lovely lunch - didn’t feel rushed at all but well looked after and delicious food. Definitely would come again.
To be honest I couldn’t fault anything. Service was excellent in pleasant surroundings and food was lovely.
The food was ok but over seasoned. Everything was salty. We ordered drinks which never came. We had to remind the waitress. We were staying in Cherry Tree Barn and forgot to ask for our 10% discount but we weren't reminded / asked if we were a resident. The meal was very expensive considering we didn't have dessert.
Excellent staff and service Top class food
Excellent food, service and venue
