    Lovely setting in The Earl of Doncaster Hotel. Art Deco style. Dined early with a friend prior to an evening event. The Restaurant was incredibly quiet at 5-6pm. Good attentive service, very reasonably priced and the food (Trio of Sausages and Steak Pie) were both plentiful, tasty and well presented. Would be keen to return to try the afternoon tea, as good reviews given.

    A lovely place with incredible 1920’s decor. Food and drinks (cocktails and mocktail) were all tasty, excellent value for money. We are off normal menu but the afternoon tea looked lovely too.

    The food was very tasty,very appealing and excellently presented. Portion sizes a little over generous for me. Service was suitably attentive yet giving us privacy to enjoy our dinner and drinks. The ambience of the art deco decor with gentle popular music from soul to contemporary pop was enjoyable. A little noisy at times from another table but nothing offensive or loud. Tables are well spaced to allow comfort of dining without too much disruption from other diners. Would recommend for couples business or small group parties. Would come again.

    Group of 12 males were in the bar area and extremely noisy, unfortunately this echoed around the fairly quiet restaurant and made it an i unenjoyable experience. Even listening to the waiter was difficult and you could barely hear the music. Temperature was very cold, ordered coffee to heat myself up after eating dinner and luckily had a cardigan. Disappointed as surroundings were lovely and food good

    Food was ok, service wasn’t great, we were ignored on arrival by two young members of staff, who both walked away without acknowledging us. We were seated but not given all menus, no drink menus were given. After finishing dinner we asked for another drink and dessert menu, our server finished clearing the plates and said he would get them, after 10 mins and no sight of him we had to ask another server. It was our first visit and expected great things but the level of customer service wasn’t great and desserts were average for the price and not homemade.

    Lovely setting, service was friendly and personable. My message I sent the day before about it being my mums bday was acknowledge by a surprise robot coming out with a happy birthday pudding and happy bday song. This is without me asking for it. It was so special. We had a child with us who enjoyed his food also.

    Had 2 classic afternoon tea and 1 Childrens afternoon tea and they were amazing! The children’s was a perfect amount for my daughter and there wasn’t a thing on it that she didn’t like. The classic afternoon teas looked and tasted fantastic! A nice selection of sandwiches and beautiful cakes. There were only a couple more tables in so it was very quiet and ambient. Would definitely recommend and would return in the future

    Not too busy for a Saturday, which was nice. Food nothing special, a little disappointed to be honest. Thai curry was much too watery and tasteless - chef apologies were received and amount deducted from my bill. Sorry, I will not return.

    I want to say a massive big thank you to Andy who works in the restaurant. He did everything he could for my mums little birthday gift meal and surprised us both with a little birthday dessert on Bellabot. Plus the rest of the staff giving us a tour of the whole place to give my mum a trip down memory lane. The food, the service, the staff were amazing!!! I would highly recommend this place and for sure will be coming back to stay over this time! The place is gorgeous and is not like the other hotels/ restaurants. It makes a change of scenery to be back in the past of the 1920s art deco. 1000000/10 for sure!!!

    This was an afternoon tea celebration for Mu's 80th birthday. She loved it! The staff were friendly, attentive and helped to keep the surprise of the extra guests. A robot with an electronic cat face, came out singing Happy Birthday and delivered sweet treats with lit candles, so mum was able to blow them out and make a wish 😜 All of our dietary requirements were met without fuss. The styling of the place is fabulous - all luxury ArtDeco. Loved it.

    Very lovely time, cocktails and ambiance was great, decor fantastic. We had lunch 2 courses - starters amazing and very delicious, we had pork belly, scallops, and garlic mushrooms, (bit dry, large portion, and lots of breadcrumb topping). Mains courses were a bit expensive for what we got, (fish pie & macaroni cheese) . Macaroni cheese was a bit bland, with a very dense/heavy breadcrumb crust on top, which made the dish very dry to eat at £15/16, as was the fish pie, and the brocoli (only veg accompaniment) which was very salty. One of our group had the pork tomahawk steak which was very tasty, well presented, and had loads of side accompaniments. Too full for desserts, but we had coffees & hot chocolates in the front bar, along with complimentary birthday surprise of a remote robot singing happy birthday with mini cakes ! Wonderful touch !! Overall, we will return again for an afternoon tea as they looked very nice as well.

    We came for afternoon tea yesterday and the food was delicious. The sandwiches were really fresh, there was a large selection of cakes and scones and unlimited tea and coffee was included so it was good value for money. We couldn't eat everything and brought lots of cakes home. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our experience. We look forward to coming back and highly recommend.
