    Very busy as it was a bank holiday. Table was ready and service quick. They did get our side order wrong but on the scale of things it was minor mistake and not worth complaining about. Plus it was a lovely meal. My only little negative was the door leading into the marquee kept being left open, (by customers and staff) it was a cold windy day and we were opposite it. We did keep closing it but maybe a door closer could be fitted. Overall though a lovely afternoon.

    We asked for egg and bacon sandwiches bread not baps. Baps came so they went back and egg and bacon We then asked for a scone with butter didn’t want Jam and cream but the latter came so we accepted it. Waitress had wrote it down correctly it was kitchen staff had not took any notice of it. Could not fault the food.

    We come to Alderford a lot and will continue to do so. But it just felt a bit chaotic today for some reason. Both lots of drinks orders we had half the order missing and had to ask for them. Baked beans were missing off both vegan breakfasts, mushrooms were on one breakfast even though the person ordering had specifically asked for no mushrooms. Maybe there were a lot of new staff, the staff were all lovely and we had a good time. Just took the edge of the experience today.

    I took my mother & gran to alderford lake for afternoon tea for Mother’s Day. We were greeted quickly and sat at a very small table squashed between 3 other larger tables and the wall. It was quite uncomfortable but we appreciated the busy day and made do. This was until a waitress decided to try and push past my chair to get the table behind us and when she couldn’t get past said “can you move out the way” whilst holding a plate of food over my head. I responded with “where do you want me to go” to which she huffed and passed the food to another table member to pass along. We asked another waitress if they had another table and she did move us after we pointed out there were smaller groups than us sat on larger tables for 4 or 6. The food came quickly and was well presented & nice to eat. We ordered 2 teas & a hot chocolate but had to go up to the bar to ask for spoons & milk. It was also very loud in the restaurant with loud dance music playing over everyone talking and it was quite hard for my gran to hear the conversation. Fair to say we were disappointed by the overall experience but the food was nice. Wouldn’t go back
