Attended here for an afternoon tea with my son nieces and nephews for valentines day.. I had not precooked, however called on the day and they were able to accommodate us which was very lucky.
The atmosphere is relaxing with a nice ambience.. but the afternoon tea is one of the best I have had in the West Midlands area. They provide a colourful array of cakes, sandwiches and delicious items to indulge.
They also provided a child's version for my son who is 4, he enjoyed it and even ate my scone.. lesson learned eat my scone first... I would definitely go again and tried to do so for mothers day unfortunately left it too late, but I will definetly go again as its a really enjoyable afternoon tea, the staff are courteous with great customer service and the venue it self is nice and quaint on the inside and they have a cute little old telephone box which has been decorated, cute picture moment.. my child did not quite cooperate lol.
Update March 2023
Well I came for mothers day afternoon tea with my son and daughter... it remains fabulous.. menu same as last time.. unfortunately again my children were not cooperating.. seems to be an occurring pattern... so I got a little frustrated and decided to leave, they packed it all up for me. Staff still helpful and great. I enjoyed it all when I got home.
Went the following day for mothers day lunch with my mother and siblings and it was very nice .. I had pre ordered and the food came out in good time .. the children were much better and every body enjoyed their meals. Nice drinks and...
Read moreWe booked Hamilton's for a family party and was immediately surprised to be asked for a £5 per head deposit - I haven't had to do this anywhere else before - should have listened to the alarm bell ringing in my head.
On arrival the staff were great, as they were all the way through, but the empty restaurant started my alarm bell ringing again.
The menu is basic for the price being charged, so I assumed we were paying for exceptional quality, unfortunately this wasn't the case. I had fish goujons as a start, they were pleasant but the pea puree needed work as it was bland and uninspiring.
I opted for the 2 Steaks and a bottle of wine deal for £50, which again is pricey in my opinion as my local restaurant charges £30 for the same. The steak was ordered Blue and was cooked to my liking, with some roast vine tomatoes, salad leafs and a mushroom, again very basic for the price.
We decided to do dessert somewhere else and asked for the bill. The restaurant has a policy of sticking another 10% service charge on top of an already over priced meal and drinks. When asked to take the 10% service charge off as we didn't see why we should be 'mugged' any further and wanted to leave the tip with the waitress, we were told no and we reluctantly paid the reaper.
In summary - it's nothing special, food is average at best and is 25% too expensive, service charge and deposit...
Read moreWe found this restaurant online. We have been twice in two weeks. We arrived and parked opposite, but they also have a car park. You have to press the bell to enter the restaurant. We were greeted by restaurant staff who showed us to our table.
For starters we chose from the specials board, crab & cod fishcakes with sweetcorn sauce and lamb koftas with flat bread, both very nice. Mains were lamb rump and I had the shrimp & langoustine pasta. This week we had mushroom, brie and spinach stuffed chicken wrapped in Serrano ham, I had pan fried sea bass with crunchy potatoes with seasonal vegetables. All I can say is compliments to the chef, both weeks the food is outstanding, presentation is impeccable. The chef clearly knows how to present and cook food. Oh! Dessert also from the specials board we shared a Lemon & blueberry baked Alaska, yum yum. It was delicious!
Lovely decoration, nice atmosphere, nice music playing in the background. Lovely pleasant staff and the service is good. Highly recommended a visit.
I plan to return for afternoon tea later in...
