If I could put a minus star for service for the Brick House I would. I visited yesterday with a group of 43 ladies. We were booked for 12.30 and the organiser of our bus trip had visited the Brick House and arranged with the management to have a set menu of three dishes plus desert at a set price. We arrived just before 12.30 and our ladies had all made their menu choices last week and the numbers had been sent through to the chef last week. We had been assured that we would all be served and out by 1.30 as we had pre ordered our food. By 12.55 no one had anything Infront of them and to cut a long story short three of our group ended up serving our group's tables. We had to ring and apologise to the the place we were visiting and and ended up taking our deserts with us on the bus in plastic boxes with plastic spoons to eat the with. Don't book here if you have a large group, they want the money for your visit but won't spend anything on employing extra staff to enable your visit to be a success.

I was looking forward to my lambs fry, my favourite, always done perfectly at lunchtime. Last night the meat was hard as if it had been sitting for ages, the meal could have been warmer. The roast vegies and greens were not as nice or as abundant as I'm used to. Others reported problems with their dishes as well. A lack of flavouring.

Lastly my wife asked for some water. A waitress arrived and grumpily placed a water bottle in front of my wife saying "the glasses are over there" before storming off.

Do you have different staff on at night? The place wasn't overly busy, not like a Friday lunchtime.

We had planned to cut our anniversry cake there but decided to go home and do it.

I'm putting it down to an...
