The Garden Restaurant at the Mollington Banastre Hotel & Spa

Disappointing from the start. Had to ask at reception to find a staff member to seat us, very quiet and a huge space for a few tables occupied. Wine choice not available, Feather blade beef had lump of fat in the middle and it was incredibly poor portion size, taste and quality. There was a large party in another function suite but this should not interfere with service or food. Breakfast was equally bad.

Our afternoon tea experience began well with a friendly waitress taking our order promptly. The sandwiches were enjoyable, but the cakes seemed to be store-bought and were left uneaten. The scones were overheated and somewhat tough, while the coffee was lukewarm. Unfortunately, after we were served, no one checked on us for refills or anything else. We had to go to the reception to ask for our bill.

Despite the knowledge that a diner was celiac, they had no suitable cake for afternoon tea!
