    “We normally have a faultless experience at the seven stars but unfortunately this occasion fell far below the usual standards. Service was incredibly slow, a 50 minute wait for a near empty restaurant. Considering it’s the hospitality sector it was far from hospitable. There was no check back throughout our evening, hard potato’s served with the children’s meal, and a hot plate placed infront of a 1 year old. I personally understand the struggles better than most so please don’t see this as a below the belt review. I manage a hotel with an F&B offering but many of the basics were overlooked. this visit has unfortunately left a bad taste in our mouths”

    “We had a beef carvery. Carrots and green vegetables were so hard they were inedible. Mentioned it but nothing was done. No horseradish either! Roast potatoes were a bit tough. Beef was lovely (but not enough) and Yorkshire pudding was too. Tiramisu was delicious. Wouldn't have Sunday lunch here again as very disappointed.”

    “Terrible. Awful experience. 2 gluten free mixed grills. No alternative for sausages which we couldn’t have. Steak & gammon were dry & very tough. All eggs were dry & hard. Lamb burger was driest ever had with hardly any tzatziki.”
