"A Mix of Delightful Cuisine and Unfortunate Service I recently dined at your Thai restaurant with my parents and partner, and while the food was generally good, there are some aspects of the service that I hope you consider seriously. Starters: The calamari was fresh and crispy, although the platter for 2 felt a bit sparse with only two of each item. Mains: The steamed sea bass was exceptional. The green, red and massaman curries we sampled were good and packed quite a punch, especially the green curry. The fried rice and the late-delivered coconut rice were satisfactory, but what truly stood out was the sincere apology from the chef, who went out of his way to address the oversight. The ambiance of the restaurant was charming, seamlessly blending Thai-inspired decor with the rustic setting of an old English building. The gold bamboo-esque cutlery added a unique touch. However, the dining experience was marred by one particular staff member, presumably in a managerial role. His aggressive and hostile behaviour towards the staff was unsettling. While the wait staff were friendly and professional, this individual's conduct overshadowed the positive aspects of our visit. His actions, including snatching plates out of their hands and hissing at them, created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both patrons and staff. Constructively, I urge a thorough review of this staff member's behaviour, as it significantly impacted an otherwise decent dining experience. Encouraging and supporting the team, rather than undermining them, would undoubtedly contribute to a more enjoyable and harmonious dining atmosphere. In conclusion, we enjoyed the culinary offerings of your establishment, and the sea bass alone is worthy of a return visit. However, addressing the issues with the aggressive staff member is crucial for sustaining a positive reputation and ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all patrons."

"I visited here on the weekend with my in laws. The restaurant itself is nice with nice decor and a large outside seating area, which I'd imagine would be lovely to sit in throughout the summer. The service was great. There was a bit of a delay with the halloumi, but the staff were really apologetic about it. The food was really nice and good value for money considering. Myself and my family were full and more than happy with the food. I ordered the duck pancakes, which came on a hot stone, I just didn't realise how hot it would be and how messy it would be good job that they give me a tea towel and an apron to wear! I still really enjoyed it though.

"I have visited this restaurant multiple times because I enjoy supporting local businesses, and I am happy to report that the food was delicious as always. However, the service was lacking during this visit. It was a busy Saturday night, but the young male waiter overseeing our table was not very attentive. Whenever I asked him questions, he would say he would find out but never came back with an answer, so I had to ask someone else. I understand that he may have been new and not expected to know everything, but I would have appreciated him finding out and returning to us. Despite this, I still love the restaurant and will return in the future. It is just disappointing that the service did not meet the usual high standards on this occasion."

"Popped in for lunch on a busy Saturday after hearing good reviews and must say we were impressed. Rose Cottage is a lovely, welcoming traditional cafe, not trying to be anything its not which is so refreshing. At first glance the menu is a standard range of sandwiches, panini and jacket potatoes, but between us we tried all three and the standard really is excellent. Mum declared her panini the best she’s ever had, and my husband tucked into his hearty JP with chilli and cheese. Great quality ingredients and obviously prepared with much care. At around £8 per head including coffees we felt we’d had great value for money too. We’ll be back soon for a cream tea, several people were enjoying fresh scones and we just couldn’t quite find room. Thanks ever so much"
