The Bishop's Table — Restaurant in England

So disappointing. We wanted to take my 88 year old mother out for lunch. Only 3 of us to serve and we all ordered a cold dish. Told 20 minute wait for service, fine agreed to that. Ham hock arrived for my husband, nothing else. 5 minutes later one bowl of prawns arrived. So we waited and waited for the second bowl of prawns to arrive...nothing. 10 minutes later.... Tried to find a waitress. Busy waitress said she would find out..... So after another long wait an identical plate of prawns arrived. Lots of apologies. If this had been a hot meal it would have been a disaster as we would have had to have started to eat before either my mother or myself would have been served. Then to find it was totally tasteless, was it seafood?????Prawns, scraggy bit of lettuce and slice of bread, awful for the price and awful for a chef to send out. Sorry, this is a total embarrassment you should try to rectify ASAP. I worked at the Cathedral school for many years and always recommend you to parents, visitors, performers to...

I would give 0 stars if I could, honestly. Absolutely abysmal visit! For a table of 7 of us, our food came out at such different times that some of us had finished before others even got theirs. The poppadom with the curry was so unbelievably greasy it was quite literally dripping. 2 curries were ordered and one was half the size of the other as they were in completely different sized bowls. My cousin had avocado toast and specifically said no seeds as she is allergic, to then be given her food with seeds hidden under the tomatoes?! Food was sent back and then returned with no seeds but raw instead of grilled tomato. My sourdough toast was forgotten and when asked they just said “oh, do you still want it then?” And then when it was finally brought out it was just dropped onto the table by a waitress with such a vile attitude. Disgusting place that can’t even make a good hot chocolate and will make you wait 40 minutes or more for your meal - will never set foot through the...

Definitely over promoting the award they won in 2021 as it certainly wasn't award winning on my visit today. Had high expectations and the menu sounded delicious but was very disappointing, food was subpar and overpriced for what you get. I ordered the avocado on toast and my friend ordered the vegan breakfast. They were the same price but felt very disproportionate in value as the avocado on toast was £13.95 for one slice of toast, overcooked poached eggs, and the vegan breakfast had more avocado than I did on my toast. Was a bit something of nothing to be honest and was still hungry after. The vegan breakfast was a much better portion size however the onion bhaji was so burnt to the crisp it was unedible and the crispy kale my friend was looking forward too, was substituted with baked beans without anyone saying it would be. Would have been satisfied and a lot cheaper to go with one of their ready made sandwiches. Or even better, go into town for something tastier and...
