“I dined here with my wife and my brother and...”

I dined here with my wife and my brother and sister-in-law after driving through Chobham and seeing their special 40th anniversary offer of a 3 course evening meal for £14.95, I thought I was seeing things and drove back to look again.

I had not been to this restaurant for over 20 years and remembered being excellent so was more than willing to book a table and look forward to the event.

I wish I had not bothered ever going back, it was absolute rubbish and the prices sky-rocketed as soon as you sat down as anything decent on the menu was at a supplement and even charging extra for a bread roll that was not mentioned when it was offered.



When I received the bill the bargain price of £14.95 per person had turned into £35 per person including a glass of wine each.

The service charge of 12.5% was also annoying and the comments regarding bringing my change were also angled at hoping to get even more.



The interior of this place has not changed since my last visit 20 years ago and is now very tatty and the place is poorly lit, no doubt so you do not see the food too closely.

I very much regret my mistake of dining here and consider it to be a sheer waste of money and an evening spoiled and under no circumstances would I return, even if it were free!



I have had to describe this restaurant as quiet and refined as there was no option for dingy rip-off joint!
