Cons:

• "Good service, once it happened, but won't be repeating again, there are too many good places in Bath to get a nice roast."
• "Unfortunately, the service was a bit shambolic (1 starter missing, some cutlery missing, no napkins, trying to clear the rest of the table while I was still eating, trying to remove my quarter full glass of wine)."
• "We were discriminated for the way we looked, my partner in a pink shirt and myself in an elegant dress."
• "However once seated it took us a while to get served and we were more or less forgotten about from then on."
• "But our experience was spoilt by the level of service. We were served by a very arrogant server who put us down several times."
