    Very poor Christmas Afternooon Tea which was a gift for my 10 year old granddaughter. Booked for 2.30pm on arrival we were told this menu doesn’t begin until 3pm. Why were we not informed at booking? Shown to our seat one of many serving staff who covered our table told us we would have to wait. At 2.45pm we asked if we could order and be in the food queue. The body language of the person showed we were an inconvenience. When the tiers of plates arrived it was plonked on the table. No plates were provided to eat off unlike other tables. We asked for some but they never arrived we had to eat off the serving plates. Having served the champagne we then asked twice for the tea. The scones were rock hard we pointed out they were inedible. Another member of the serving staff told us they were all the same!! We showed them a knife wouldn’t cut through them and they we to seek advice never to be seen again. My granddaughter had been so excited about being so grown up only to leave feeling very upset. A dreadful experience!!!

    Quod was very lively and packed on the Saturday evening before Christmas but the service was excellent and the food was very good. The Quod formula of a range of well-coked, tasty food to meet a variety of tastes and preferences was working very well. As usual the wide range of choice on the all-day menu was supplemented with the interesting daily specials. Put simply, Quod delivers. That’s why I choose to eat there regularly.

    Special Plaice (three orders) was small and poorly cooked. Not grilled? Not fresh, tasteless , not hot ((butter not melted!). Seemed like leftover portion. Poor value. Would have complained but would have spoiled the occasion. Other food ok and duck good. Service haphazard. Got first drinks order wrong! Disappointing given previous much better experiences over many years.
