Excellent venue and first class service throughout. Steak and Sea Bass were both well cooked and presented. Only Gripe is that the soup could have been hotter. A pleasurable experience

One small issue. The glasses and cutlery were very poorly presented. The glasses in particular were covered in fingerprints and did not look clean at all. I observed another table asking for clean also. Most unlike the Mustard Seed, potentially an issue with the dishwasher? Certainly not the attention to detail I'd expect as a customer of the restaurant.

The food was mostly nice, but the service really let the experience down. Our waiter disappeared, leaving us with a dirty table. We waited to order desserts, but no one came, so we decided to leave.

Dreadful service and rubbish food. When we arrived we informed the manager/maitre’d we had a table booked he just pointed at a table and said that was ours - no attempt made to show us to a table and make us feel welcome. The waitress came and took our order for our meal and drinks at the same time - all a bit rushed and pressured . Then our starter appeared within 5 minutes well before our drinks made it to the table. Our main course appeared very quickly after the starter and was well not good. We both had a rather rubbery gristly steak served on a bed of lukewarm lumpy mashed potato reminiscent of school dinners. Not good enough for nearly £32 a portion, I’ve bought better steaks from Lidl! We then had a rather weak coffee. Overall in and out the restaurant having had two courses and a coffee in under an hour at around £107. Previously had wonderful meals here but the service, ambiance and food are not up to scratch for restaurant of this calibre. We will not be back in a hurry.

Food was ok, but we’d finished our starter before the drinks even arrived. We’ve had better meals there, I think last night was just an off- night for them.

Tasty Early Evening Meal at the Mustard Seed. We had the chicken wings and the Seaweed crab cake for starters then the chicken for mains, followed by a strawberry and passion fruit cheesecake, a really good meal with excellent service.

Lovely atmosphere and staff were warm and friendly. Food was good starters were mussels very good mackrel salad ok, a lot of bones and not much flavour. Mains..steak special lovely but garlic crushed potatoes very over powering garlic taste. Halibut very nice but green beans very over cooked and leathery. Puddings nice but not the wow factor. Presentation could be better. Overall a nice meal but wouldn't rush back.

My husband and I were left disappointed. We booked a table on my birthday. Indeed in the past we were always satisfied with the environment, food and service. The food was again prepared at an excellent standard. Following the main course, we ordered the cheese board. After 25 minutes we asked the waitress what is happening. It became clear that it was not prepared and we cancelled it. However, another staff member brought up a plate with cheese and crackers stating that they run out of celery and grapes! Of course, we turned down the order. Regarding the service and in contrast to the past, the bottle of wine we ordered arrived uncorked and I asked to check the bottle. Small etiquette matters, such as the insistence to be called guys considering our senior age, question if we want more drinks with the bottle still half full did not help to alleviate our experience. We left the restaurant wondering if the standard of quality we were accustomed to has changed or perhaps it was a bad day in the office!
