"We went in for Sunday lunch and decided to have the carvery. They'd only just opened so there were plenty of tables available and we were told to choose any available table before ordering. We ordered the carverys and beers and then took our tokens through to where the carvery was being served. A pleasant young man expertly carved the meat and we helped ourselves to the veg. We asked where we'd find cutlery, and we were told that it would be brought to our table. No cutlery was at our table when we returned with our plate of hot food, so I went in search of some. I found some near the coffee machine and we started eating our meal. At least 5 minutes later, a waitress brought us some cutlery, and she looked surprised that we'd started eating. She asked us to lift our plates off the table so she could put some place mats under them. In the process, she managed to knock my wife's half pint of bitter all over the table and my leg. Nice. She did apologise though, and replaced the spilled drink without question. Two ladies had come in after us and ordered the same carvery. They too sat down with their plates of hot food and no sign of cutlery. When the waitress was asked for some, she again asked them to lift their plates so she could put place mats down. My concern with this is that having people lift their plates while the waitress tries to slide place mats in between multiple drinks, seems like a needlessly risky process. And for what? The tables don't look like they need protecting, and we certainly weren't asking for them. And if they ARE necessary, why not place them on the table, WITH cutlery, immediately after the food has been ordered? In the end, it was a reasonably pleasant meal, marred by having to find our own cutlery, some clumsy table serving and an unnecessary requirement for place mats."

"Within the impressive Devonshire Dome building in Buxton is a restaurant run by students from a local university and college that promises fine dining at bargain prices. We have a point of reference with this type of establishment having eaten a couple of times at the brilliant Atrium restaurant (run by students at Birmingham’s College of Food), so we arrived with high hopes that it would match the experiences we have had there. Unfortunately it did not quite meet our expectations as there were a lot of small mistakes that kept adding up to a slightly disappointing meal. For starters we both had the squid, anchovy and courgette salad, a dish that was pleasant without being delicious and could have benefitted from being served warm rather than cold. Between courses there was a snack of cheddar and gruyère beignets, which was tasty if you are a fan of cheese. The mains courses we had were pretty much the same in that they were good without being special because of a few minor flaws. The chicken supreme had moist well-cooked chicken which was under seasoned. The red wine sauce was flavoursome but the pastry was too thick on the red onion tartlet. The lamb rump was to be served pink but came medium-well. The Pomme Anna was great but the mint sauce over powered everything else on the plate. For dessert we had a pretty good cherry tart with supposedly cherry ripple ice cream, although it was lacking in ripple, and the rice pudding which was disappointing, particularly as we wanted the chocolate pot but was told it had run out and then watched it be served to customers who arrived after us. However, because of what happened with the chocolate pot the staff didn’t charge us for our bottle of wine, which meant the meal and wine cost us £24. We were promised fine dining at bargain price and while we would contest their definition of fine dining it was most definitely a bargain and in that sense we didn’t leave too unhappy."
