Attended the Chris**as wreath making evening with a friend. It’s many years since I last visited. The hotel and restaurant were a much loved venue for my now ex partner and I and I was looking forward to seeing the hotel again. I wasn’t expecting too much of our evening believing it would be one of the Chris**as events where mass catering is generally provided and usually mediocre at best. I was quickly divested of this perception. A warm welcome on arrival to a stunningly decorated entrance and general area. Staff greeting us and making sure we had a drink whilst we waited. Our meal served once settled into our large room was superb and a big plus for me as a very fussy diner was warm plates! Our Chris**as meal was served quickly, delicious generous hot portions turkey, al dente veg and trimmings to go. A dessert that went down beautifully and I noticed particularly many plates going back to the kitchen empty! AND hot rich fragrant coffee,! Our evening then of wreath making was chaotic, noisy with plant debris everywhere but after an hour, with guidance, many beautiful wreaths produced with us all sharing our attempts on cameras with smiles. Throughout the evening I was able to see the staff and their courtesy, attentiveness and patience as well as helpfulness and this reinforced my love of this beautiful hotel and restaurant and my memories of previous happy visits. It’s so nice to see in today’s competitive market a venue that works hard to give guests a very enjoyable visit and I can’t wait to come after Chris**as to enjoy a meal with friends. Many thanks to you all.
