Good resturant and food and service is good. Food is super tasty. Price is a bit high but affordable with a discount voucher. Could be a regular resturant if prices are reduced.

Went for an afternoon tea, location, venue and ambience was great, food was exquisite and very filling, good quality tea and coffee, however, the staff were miserable, no happy greeting, no checking, is the food OK? Then when the bill came, we had been charged for a coffee that was supposed to be included and despite there only being two of us, a £5.85 service charge added. I asked the waitress to amend the discrepancies and she stormed off in a huff! The table next to us noticed and said 'use my discount card, as I have been here 5 times this week for business meetings and the way she has just behaved...you deserve it. When the waitress arrived with our amended bill I explained that the lady next to us had offered us her discount, she snatched the card off me and yet again, stormed off in a huff. Customer service here needs to be seriously looked into. A smile goes a long way, general chit chat or even faking an interest in the customer, makes a difference. The staff were indifferent and then damn right rude!

Beautiful location, lovely interior, tasty food. Went there in the hope for afternoon tea but with 2 tables in a very large dining space been told nothing available and have to pre-book. We ordered their pizza instead which was tasty. Atmosphere a bit sad, Sunday afternoon very quiet, but even if it was busy it would have been nicer if they wouldn't have stuffed every single crevice with a table and chairs. Staff clueless, from ca 5 people we encountered only one seem to have been working longer there than an hour ago. (Kids menu? Don't know. How to get to the riverside terrace? Don't know, is there one?).

I took my wife and son, for a meal there to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were received by 2 very polite receptionist, and was shown to a very nice table near the bar. The meal was of high quality with first class table service. The whole experience was very good and one that we will repeat again.

Everything about the Kingfisher was perfect. My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary. The customer service was excellent, there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be done. The restaurant was warm, quiet and inviting and our food and drinks were delicious! Will definitely be back. Thank you to the incredible team.

Incompetent staff, booking tables are hassle for the staff. Drove in to find out they didn't book in for the right day. No apology and wouldn't be dropping by. I was considering this place for the wedding venue, but I would be avoiding this.

I attended a workshop in the Northill Suite on a day of heavy rains and I was blown over by the staff’s professionalism and overall sense of calm while they dealt with the flooding all around the hotel and car parks. Our event went ahead without a hitch and not a single cutback in service levels. I felt safe and kept informed throughout the day.

I took a friend for afternoon tea, we were looked after by a very pleasant young man. He listened to what was needed & my friend who's birthday it was throughly enjoyed it. It's a very nice classy place to be.

Came here for my brother’s wedding. The staff were incredibly hospitable. Breakfast was lovely every morning with options to have freshly cooked and then a buffet style option too. Rooms were comfortable but a little on the colder side.

Visited first time following recommendations of friends. The area is fantastic, the venue after renovations can cater for functions. I was curious about the dining - restaurant really looks nice. We chose seating outside by the river. I ordered by the bar- the tapas option- order was mixed up- not received one item despite promises it was coming- in the end apologies from the staff that it was not put on the order. Me and my partner had to chase up cutlery, and drink ordering by the bar was hectic- drink brought twice, but forgot to take payment. I will give it another chance despite my disappointment with the service.

Came here for a meal and it has been decorated beautifully. Staff very attentive maybe a little bit too much of whipping away of glasses the minute they are empty but very polite and helpful. Unfortunately the food was a let down. My tatertots could have been bought in a supermarket with a bit of cheese on top. Pork burnt ends were ok but some a bit too burnt and hard. Not much flavour. My friends seafood pasta had a lovely amount of different shellfish but the sauce was far too rich and he left most of it. Realised when I got home that my decaf cappuccino was definitely not decaf as I was awake until 3am!. They need to up their game foodwise.

I stayed here for a night. It’s a cute hotel on the river. it’s clean and friendly. I had a pretty awful room facing the car park. Water pressure in the shower was non existent. I assume there are better rooms with nicer views. Breakfast was ok, but not going to win any awards.

Absolute great find as a wedding venue, very well catered and hosted. Lee and Mia were both fantastic and hosted us very professionally. Would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a wedding venue. Rooms are spacious with both shower and bath and the bed was very comfortable.

Roast beef Sunday lunch. The beef was very fatty with 20% left on side of plate. Vegetables were ok. The main was disappointing overall. The dessert, sticky toffee and ice cream was very nice but overpriced. Service was slow to table, ordering the main course was 45mins after we got seated.

Excellent on every level. Food was amazing and very reasonable prices. Service was great. Someone at our table spilt hot tea on my daughter by accident and they jumped straight into action with cold towels and burn gel. Very impressed with everything

Hotel rooms are decent, clean, we had the river view room so its amazing to start the day with the view. Hotel has restaurant, or restaurant has hotel hard to say :), which serves very very very delicious food and the cocktails are great 👍🏻 you can even come only for breakfast, plates are abundant and tasty 😋

I ordered from this shop after seeing an post on FB. I ordered 3 items and apparently their system has only logged in 2 items. So they charged me £7.51 for delivery and claiming there is a minimum order for delivery and as I haven’t reached that minimum amount, they charged me an extra £4.51. There is no where during the ordering process this is clearly evident. The delivery fee is not clearly shown either. The owner claims to have received only 2 items on the order. He was patronising, talking over me, unapologetic and rude over the phone. He said he will send me the receipt of WhatsApp, I told his he doesn’t have my permission to send me a message on WhatsApp and he still sent me an unsolicited message. Absolutely horrible customer service. Will most definitely do not order from this shop again. I will seek legal advice for sending me an unsolicited, unwanted WhatsApp message.

Would not recommend. Waiting for my food for two hours now. Taking long to be delivered and no one is picking up calls.
