"Visité con otras dos personas un miércoles por la noche. La reserva se hizo de forma rápida y sencilla unos días antes a través de los sitios web de Spice MerchantOpen Table. Nos ofrecieron una mesa junto a una de las ventanas delanteras, que aceptamos con gusto. Desde este lugar, noté que varias personas pidieron comida para llevar reservada, lo cual fue una buena señal de que la comida es popular entre los residentes locales. El servicio fue excepcional, desde el momento en que llegamos hasta el momento en que finalmente nos fuimos. Nuestro camarero fue extremadamente educado y atento, pero no entrometido. Nos reunimos con el gerente, que fue realmente amable, muy servicial a la hora de elegir nuestra comida y vino al final de nuestra comida para ofrecer un "gracias" muy amable y generoso. La lista de vinos era extensa; Pedimos una botella de tinto y una blanca. Mis acompañantes quedaron muy satisfechos con sus selecciones, que complementaron perfectamente la comida. Tenía una botella de cerveza Cobra. Inicialmente pedí la variedad sin alcohol, pero estaba agotada, así que tenía una Cobra "normal" y limité la ingesta de vino que conducía. Estuvimos allí para la comida que los menús que habíamos examinado en línea eran extenso y esto no defraudó! ¡Las porciones eran buenas y el sabor, la textura y la presentación eran excepcionales! Este restaurante debe tener los mejores chefs indios de Berkshire. La factura era razonable, considerando lo que pedimos y el hecho de que este negocio sirve a un área próspera. Una de mis amigas estaba tan complacida con la comida y el servicio que reservó allí su comida de cumpleaños para el mes siguiente. La gerente fue muy complaciente con respecto a sus deseos y esperamos regresar justo después de Navidad para otra noche excelente. Bien hecho a todo el personal de Spice Merchant, Cookham, usted se merece premios por producir comida digna del "Premio Michelin" y por cuidar a sus invitados muy bien"

"We arrived early and had a drink downstairs. While waiting at the desk the manager came up to welcome us. Then something very odd happened: one of the young waiting staff pushed in between us and the manager rather than go round us. The manager shrugged and gave him an odd look rather than give him advice. We all laughed it off. We sat down at our table and were immediately asked if we would like something to drink before I had even had a chance to look at the wine menu. We pointed out one wine glass was dirty and it was taken away. Minutes passed. In fact about 25 of them and nothing happened. So we asked for the wine and a glass. More time passed. I read the advert on the table which promised a ‘Stylish Easter’, which seems to miss the point of Easter. We spoke to the people at the table next to us who we knew and asked after their food. They said the pork belly was cold. The sea bass was ok. Our wagu burger and fishcakes arrived. Both were lukewarm to cold, as were the chips. We called the manager and he replaced them immediately, looking increasingly harassed and at odds with his young naive staff. The burger was too chewy to eat. The fishcakes were ok. Before we had finished one of the young lads stood by the table staring at my plate oddly. He asked me if I had finished my main course when I clearly had not. We asked for the bill and left. The manager did not say anything about the problems. I reluctantly paid the £51 but did not leave a tip as the service was non existent. And the final irony: when I went to the loo on the way out, there was pumping hip hop music totally at odds with a restaurant setting. We drove back through Bray and stopped at the pub on the high street there. It was like entering a calming world of normality. No music. Young but experienced and trained staff in control. Happy customers. What a contrast! The new manager at The Ferry clearly has his work cut out to improve standards."
