Lovely starters and pudding but main course disappointing. I had roast beef but the Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and beef difficult to cut. I also prefer to add my own gravy as it smothered the plate. We hoped to add Salomon's to our shortlist for wedding venues but the food unfortunately did not have that extra special quality. However the staff were very good and helpful in letting us look at the wedding areas.

Thank you for your recent feedback following your Sunday lunch with us. I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your main course and the quality of your meal. I have discussed your comments with our Kitchen team and improvements will be made. I would like to invite you back for a complimentary afternoon tea and full tour of the Estate. If this is of interest, please let me know and I will be happy to arrange. Kind regards, Emma Martin Operations Manager

This visit not as good as our previous 1st visit. We had afternoon tea for 4. We took 2 ladies as a treat. Their regular afternoon tea was really good - however our gluten free version was not equal to theirs. Our sandwiches were much smaller and with far less filling. The smoked salmon was hardly there. And sadly the bread was very dry. We've eaten many afternoon teas and there's no need for gf bread to be dried out these days. The scones were delicious. Thank you to the chef! And the little dessert cakes also delicious but whilst the regular afternoon tea had 3 dessert cakes our gluten free version had only 2 cakes. We thought this was a bit naughty because we paid no less and the menu didn't say less for us. I was told it was because we're gluten free. On our first visit to Salomons, which we hold as one of the best afternoon teas we've had, there was no difference between gluten free and regular afternoon tea. It was superb. The atmosphere was so wonderful. Sadly Salomons seems to have lost some of that energy which was there before.

Dear Guest, Thank you for getting in touch and providing feedback on your recent visit. I’m sorry to hear that on this occasion, your experience didn’t match that of your previous Afternoon Tea. I have discussed your comments regarding the Gluten free Tea with our Kitchen team and expressed the importance of consistency with our offerings, regardless of dietary requirements. We will review the menu and ensure that changes are made going forwards. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we have the chance to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, Emma Martin Operations Manager

It was just ok. Probably wouldn’t go again. Booked afternoon tea for my mum’s birthday. We were shoved in the corner at a pretty unpleasant table. I asked if we could move and was told by the manager that the conservatory was full and we had to request it (no mention of this when booking). The food was ok, service was ok. Just generally pretty average. Couldn’t help but think we’d have been pretty off at gales.

Very good, attentive and with spillages resolved with ease. I'm sure they used to have higher quality food and a wider selection. As Afternoon Tea it be nice to have a Tea to drink menu and a run through of the different plates.

Unfortunate miscommunication about the fact we were able to book for high tea whereas only Christmas lunch was being served. So we settled for just appetizer and desert which both were of moderate quality unfortunately. Staff friendly and helpful.

Beautiful surroundings, gorgeous food and great service.. all at a very good price. This is always feels like such a special venue to visit and the food is really top notch, cooked wonderfully and also stunningly presented. I am fussy with my roast dinners and this is perfect for Sunday lunch!
