Stunning place, the food is nice but nothing special, coffees not brilliant if you're a coffee snob. The staff could be a tad friendlier. Its worth it for the place though.

We were booked for a birthday dinner, however on arrival, was made aware that the menu had been reduced to a few items, Appreciate that there has been a new chef introduced, but then it was expect the limited items to be amazing. Overall extremely disappointed
Script Restaurant & BarResponded on 17 August 2024

Please accept our apologies, and I hope we can make it up to you in the future.

Beautiful venue, great food and excellent and attentive staff. I can't fault any of that. Food is a little on the pricey side for what you get would be my only quibble.

Thank you so much for your kind words about our venue, food, and staff! We're delighted to hear you had a great experience with us. We appreciate your feedback on the pricing and will take it into consideration as we continue to refine our offerings. We hope to welcome you back soon!

unfortunately the menu was much smaller than when I have visited before and had good meals. Even with the truncated menu by 6 o'clock on Sunday evening there were some items not available. The actual food quality was quite poor. The Sunday roast was missing cauliflower cheese! I probably would not return which is a shame as the venue is very pleasant The service was ok but not as good as I have had there in the past
Script Restaurant & BarResponded on 17 August 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet the expectations set by your previous experiences. We are in the process of updating our menu, and we regret that the selection was smaller than expected and that some items were unavailable. We also sincerely apologize for the disappointment with the food quality, particularly the missing cauliflower cheese from your Sunday roast, and the service not being up to par. Please know that we will be addressing these issues with our team to ensure improvements are made. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we really appreciate it

Was a lovely surprise to find the Script. Everything was lovely. The staff were efficient and friendly . The facilities were bright airy and spotlessly clean. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Lovely place to go on a sunny day. We sat on the balcony overlooking the golf course. Food was very good and service was attentive. Recommended

I had heard so many positive things about Script … now I wonder whether any were genuine reviews!! The restaurant was very quiet - only 3 or 4 tables being used at lunchtime and we did think it was telling that nobody seemed to have ordered a Sunday roast! Our order was taken for starters and then mains … and they all came together. “We thought you wanted them all at once” said our waiter!! We sent the mains back. We didn’t say but did think why are they called starters and mains in the menu?? We ordered 3x vegetable spring rolls. Nice and crispy on the outside and refrigerator cold in the middle. They were quickly returned but not reordered The mains were all a salad variation with either salmon or chicken and were fine, at least by the above standard! We couldn’t be bothered with desserts. On the plus side there’s a lovely view of the golf course. On the minus side …. The poor quality food and pretty similar level of service. Sorry, but this could AND SHOULD be so much better!!!!
Script Restaurant & BarResponded on 26 June 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at Script. It’s disheartening to learn that our service and food quality did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the mix-up with your order. Serving starters and mains together was a clear mistake, and we're addressing this with our team. The cold spring rolls are unacceptable, and we appreciate you highlighting this. We will ensure our kitchen staff takes immediate steps to prevent this from happening again. Whilst we're glad you enjoyed the view of the golf course, we clearly fell short on food and service quality. We take your comments seriously and are committed to making necessary improvements. Thank you for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to improve.

Gorgeous setting, especially on a summer evening. Sitting overlooking the golf course felt like being on holiday. Didn’t realise this is more of a lunch restaurant and there were only 3 other tables occupied. Food was good and value for money but a very limited menu. Only 2/5 desserts were available which was a shame, and bar closed at 9! Service was lacking which was a shame, as the staff were very pleasant. 2/4 of our mains were wrong and we were asked for our dessert and coffee order 3 times! Will def go back again but perhaps for lunch.
Script Restaurant & BarResponded on 24 June 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted you enjoyed our gorgeous setting and the holiday-like atmosphere overlooking the golf course. We apologize for the limited menu and unavailable desserts during your visit. We are working to expand our menu options and ensure all items are consistently available. Your feedback on our bar hours is noted, and we'll consider extending them. We're sorry to hear about the service lapses and incorrect orders. We're addressing these issues with additional staff training to improve accuracy and attentiveness. We appreciate your understanding and are glad you plan to return for lunch. We look forward to providing a seamless and enjoyable experience next time.
