Southampton Experience Days

Good food a excellent location

The hotel is lovely, clean bright and welcoming. The staff were cheerful and polite and immediately mentioned that they were aware of the emails that I had earlier sent to them, telling them about my allergies. I gave them a paper, taken from Allergy UK, explaining everything about my BOP allergy, and they were not only interested, because no one had heard of it, but asked if they could print a copy off. They said that they would show it to the chef, but also keep it as future reference for any other sufferers. We were then shown to our table, and the chef, and serving staff had gone the extra mile to make sure everything was correct, even placing different items on my server that they knew I was safe to eat. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon tea. It felt so special and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, that we felt like regulars. We will certainly be going back again.

It was a lovely experience on a dismall afternoon in very wet and windy conditions on a Thursday afternoon.

Lovely, delicate, well presented food. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Greeted by friendly staff and quickly served with a glass of Prosecco. Quality of food was very good. Only criticism was a lack of atmosphere in the room as only one other table was occupied,

Very good food Pleasent surroundings Nice polite staff

The table was ready and the staff were attentive from the minute we arrived. The food and drink was lovely. I would definitely recommend.

We have been taking our now 16 year old son to the Young Driver experience to help him for when he starts driving lessons when he will be 17, which is not only a couple of months away. This is been such a great benefit to him and has built his confidence and awareness and he is now really ready for what come next. Today, he had an hour with Ant in car 119 and had the best time, Ant really helped him, practising parallel parking, reversing, etc and at the end, gave some fantastic feedback and advise. Thank you Ant and we can not recommend this enough.

My son had a great first driving lesson. We will be back

This was originally a birthday gift from my son. 3 course dinner for 2 including a glass of bubbly. In fact we exchanged the voucher on our anniversary, and as the restaurant asked, we told them that, and they added a delightful chocolate surprise at the end. The food was fabulous, the venue spectacular (previously a 19th century Victorian chapel, and then a the gym of a girls' school) and the service attentive without being intrusive.

Was gifted the voucher as a Christmas present, was a lovey meal with excellent food and wonderful service.
