  “Brilliant concept. Fine dining, both cooked and served at table by the students. Six courses, all perfectly marvellous and great value. Plus cocktail trolley if you want!”

  “Set in a beautiful building with a lovely interior. The food is very good, and exceptional value at £15 for a 3 course set menu. Considering the cost of eating out these days in the UK even somewhere quite mediocre, this is remarkably inexpensive for such high quality food. The service is very friendly, although slightly chaotic - but for me this just adds to the charm.”

  “Booked a table for lunch to celebrate an 80th Birthday and 60th Wedding Anniversary. Poor service, asked 3 times for bread, we’d finished our starter before it arrived. Prawn cocktail served in glasses and it was impossible to cut up whole lettuce leaves. Meat pie’s pastry so hard it couldn’t be cut, let alone eaten. Ordered coffee, took more than 30 minutes to arrive having chased it up 3 times. The customer who ordered pie was told there would be a reduction of her bill, charged £10 for prawn cocktail, meal was approximately £14 but told no way to pay just half (£7). Not impressed. We filled in the form which we had to ask for. In the past I and friends have always enjoyed our visit, not this time. Very disappointed.”

  “6 courses for a set menu, we had the Pub Theme Menu, food was delicious. Staff, although some a little nervous, were all so friendly and did a fine job. The chefs and all the team should be proud of themselves. Highly recommend.”

  “A fabulous opportunity to eat top notch food cooked by culinary students, and attended by servers, bartenders and front of house staff in training. Incredibly good value for money, and real-time experience for the students before they move up to The Old Bakery, the college's 'finishing school'. Simply cannot recommended it enough! 🙌🏻”

  “Lunch party of 4 on first visit. The menu is set price 2 or 3 courses with choice of 2 starters/desserts and 4 mains. All agreed the food was good value, well presented and tasty. Soup was smooth, bread delicious, really enjoyed my liver main course. Offered cocktails after drinks order (wine and beer) had already been served, would have preferred the other way around plus surprised at cost of a small glass of wine (£5.95). Cocktails (choice of 3) were 2 for £10 so better value. Young staff/students were willing and eager to please, but not very well informed and obviously most quite inexperienced. No one seemed to know what the fish 'dish of the day' was and a group had a some words in front of us about this. When we did find out fish dsh sounded delicious, we all ordered it only to be told 10 minutes later none left. Asked if we were ready for dessert before we had received our mains which took a while to arrive but apologies given so not really a problem. The restaurant is smart, professionally laid out and comfortable. We will return in the future, believe the menu changes weekly so probably very soon as it's pleasing to be well fed whilst giving practical experience for young students. Loyalty card is another draw. Understand there is now no parking on site unless disabled badge holder.”
