We had a lovely walk around Clumber Park on Thursday 29th Dec 2022 and a delightful snack from the snack bar at the far end of the lake. We were looking forward to a more substantial meal at the end of our walk at the Clumber Park Restaurant (Checking first the opening times - until 5pm). We checked the restaurant menu but only found "snacks" to be available so we decided on the turkey bap for us all. When we tried to order (at 3.07pm) we were told that the kitchen had now closed!!!

If it was listed and priced as a light bite I might simply have been bitterly disappointed, but as one of the more expensive main meals I am staggered by the shamelessness of whoever conceived and cooked this. My companions fared only slightly better with their charred & collapsed quiches, and a sloppy chicken salad. To be serving food this bad in such a setting is such a...
