"You are slightly trapped here. Being at the spa you are not going to want to disappear off site to a local gig so there is a feeling that they have you at their mercy . My starter was the special of salt cod croquettes. Really lacking in the salt cod department and heavily over dosed in the potato section. Only 2 on the plate and small at that so disappointing. Mains was the duck breast with a caponata of vegetables.the portion was quite miserly (I suspect they achieved 3 portions out of one breast) and the vegetables bland and lacking any identity apart from their colour i.e. the carrot being orange. The ndujar Calabar dressing was split which perhaps it was supposed to be but the unforgiving element is that it had absolutely no taste at all. It gave zero to the dish. I informed the waitress that whilst the duck was succulent and well cooked, I could not praise the dish this was in response to the rehearsed is everything okay? I was given a sympathetic response and a glib I will pass that on to the chef but i absolutely felt that was not going to happen. I would quite like to have ordered the chocolate fondant dessert but as the dessert menu came after we had eaten mains and it carried a 20 minute wait warning we passed why not highlight that up front as many good restaurants do so you can make that decision ahead? In summary, I would not bother eating in the restaurant if I went there again. I would make the trip out to a local pub which would be at a fraction of the cost I suspect. Also, it was cold in the restaurant area and it is a noisy space."

Because of my health problems and also being vegan there wasn’t much I could eat.so I ordered from the sides but couldn’t eat much of it as it was covered in oil.

We ate lunch, dinner and breakfast here and each was very good. Very tasty lunch on the terrace. Evening meal was gorgeous and well presented with great service. Breakfast was buffet style with everything you could want.

Evening meal hd same menu itemw following night, had to request serrated sharp knife as too tough, pork badly cooked. Partner unable to eat his. Very disappointed to see same choices back on following dinner. Were they fresh? Ver carta

We had the most delicious meal here. I'm a fussy eater but the menu was great, very clear. The waitress was lovely nothing too much trouble.We asked for some garlic warm butter for our bread and the chief welcomly produced it instantly.

I visited with some girlfriends for a spa day and lunch. Food was lovely although the menu is quite limited. Service second to none, Monica was very friendly and attentive and kept our drinks topped up. We had a lovely, enjoyable afternoon in the sun on the terrace. Beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere.

Food was really fantastic and the staff were kind and helpful, ensuring that we had a nice table by the window (all tables have a nice view). My only criticism would be that, whilst delicious, the vegan options were not especially nourising (e.g. a main of pepper stuffed with vegetables). One slightly odd feature is the big grey curtains at the back of the room to screen off the service areas, which make it feel like an airliner. Ver carta

My husband and I stayed at the lifehouse spa and hotel and had dinner in the restaurant!The menu is rather limited for a large “supposedly”4 star hotel so we both struggled to find something we liked for our 3 course dinner!However our 3 courses were good and the young waitresses very friendly!The 4 slices of bread I got upon asking were £4.50 and the two slices of sourdough bread were dry and tasteless too!As said for a large hotel it would have been nice to be offered a more extensive menu and not just a few Italian dishes to choose from!I would have given a rating of good ,for the limited choice on offer,but you can only rate average or very good!

Visited yesterday and there was four of us, one of whom had never had afternoon tea before so it was quite a treat. Pleasantly suprised as the food was excellent. The sandwiches where lovely using really nice granary bread and there was Salmon, Ham, Egg and Cucumber with a dill butter/cream cheese. Very nice. We all received our own cup of tea or coffee. The scones where served warm and there was also a nice selection of mini cakes on the top row (mini eclair, millionaires slice, buttercream fairy cake etc. I was so full I couldn't eat the top row. The service was efficient but you do need to make yourself know to a staff member if you need further assistance as once served, they did not com...
