Booked a table for Sunday lunch with family on Tuesday and I was contacted by the restaurant on Friday to tell me the restaurant was closed due to refurbishment? Very disappointed!

Nice place and grounds but our afternoon tea was a bit of a let down. I think the food had been left to stand before we got it as the sandwiches tasted stale and the scones were clearly past their best too. We weren't asked if we wanted more drinks so had to flag down the busy waitress to order tea and coffee which was served without a selection on sugar/sweeteners etc. I expected a better service from that kind of place to be honest as I've had much better afternoon tea elsewhere.

We were served well and attentively by the staff. Most people seemed to be having a 'tea and cakes' but we went for a cooked meal - salmon and duck respectively. Both appetising and well cooked and presented. A relaxed enjoyable meal in good surroundings. The flower beds outside were colourful and attractive which added to the pleasure even though the sky was cloudy.

Booked in at 6:30pm. Fairly quiet not many staff in sight. Went to bar for a drink slow not all lagers were on. Seemed to be a lot of irritable staff leaving impression not a happy ship. Only saving grace was the food was excellent, [no Salmon available on a Bank Holiday]. Not sure the food made up for the poor service and atmosphere.

Service was quick, polite and friendly. When I raised an issue with something (a matter of personal taste rather than them doing anything wrong) they sorted it straight away with no questions. And although it might be in the pricier range the food is well worth it.

Seated quickly upstairs and drinks order was taken. The drinks were brought quickly. Great service up until then. Had to find someone downstairs to order our food as we felt we had been forgotten about as we were seated upstairs alone (we must have been sat there for at least 15 mins waiting). Other people were now being seated upstairs whilst we were eating our meals but after we had finished even though the waitering staff were around no one came to take our plates away and again we were sat for a while. This prompted us to get up go down stairs and pay the bill. Normally the service is excellent but on this occasion I found it to be very poor. If this had been my first visit I would not be recommending to friends and family. One of the guests had a roast beef dinner and most of the beef was left on the plate as it was very fatty and hard to cut. The chicken had pepper on although it tasted very nice is comes with no warning and if you are not a person who likes pepper this would not be pleasant.

My friend and I had afternoon tea here on 17th June 2016 which was lovely. Good selection of sandwiches, cakes and tea served in a proper teapot. Tony - one of the gym instructors - showed us around the place which looks amazing. Lovely building in beautiful surroundings. I had 2 different massages in the morning which I thoroughly enjoyed. Spa facilities including the pool look great. Had we got ourselves more organised we would have arranged a proper spa day. Will do that another day! Overall a lovely day and will go back again

Lakeside is a favourite lunchtime venue for us as there's lots of easy parking, it has friendly staff and a nice ambience and they serve the best lasagna and big chips we've ever had.

The food and service was very good, but the choice of seating areas were the only thing that let it down, it was next to the exit door or what felt like sitting in the walk way.

Once a month my friend and I visit new places for lunch. When we saw that Lakeside had changed, we wanted to try it and we weren't disappointed. The booking was made through their website and almost immediately a confirmation came through, good brownie point there. On arrival, we were escorted to the upper level having ordered wine beforehand. The wine waitress made sure that our order would be correct by bringing to our table two different (but similar) bottles of the chosen wine, another brownie point. The waitress taking our order was also very efficient, very pleasant and smiled all the time, third brownie point. The food was excellent, fourth brownie point. All in all we had a great time in beautiful surroundings, eating good food and sipping our prosecco. I would recommend Lakeside to all who lunch. We will be trying an evening meal there very soon.

The restaurant is in a lovely scenic area. A bit difficult to find if you've not been around there before like myself so a sign post might be helpful. The staff were pleasant and the food was great with fantastic value for money! Highly recommend and will certainly be going back soon.

Restaurant manager was quite abrupt and rude. Assumed we were there with a group on offer which we weren't. Sandwiches dry, scones hard and dense. The lady who makes the cakes was going round the tables asking what diners thought of her cakes which was very intrusive and unprofessional.
