    We arrived and were quickly shown to our table. Our waiter took our order for drinks. When he returned with them, he spilled them over the table. We had the same experience with our meal as I was delivered more chips on my lap than on my plate. Still no apology or offer to replace. Once our meal arrived we never seen him again so clearly more drinks were out of the question. We completed our experience with having a card machine thrust in my face before we had finished. Obviously we were not getting a sweet or more drinks. Poor service poor food poor all.. having a waiter with long greasy hair continually play with his hair and then put a thumb in my food didn't fill me with hunger. The classroom, please educate your staff. We were not the only unsatisfied customers during our visit. Shame, we were so looking forward to it.

    The classroom is a lovely place. However, the mains menu is slightly limited for choice. Whilst I liked most things, my husband struggled to choose an option he really liked. The service is excellent, and drinks options are excellent. Great dessert menu.
    The ClassroomResponded on April 7, 2025
    Hello Dawn Thank you for leaving us a 5-star review! We are glad you enjoyed the service, dessert menu, and drink options. I will feedback your comments regarding our main menu to kitchen and management to look at improving our option choices.

    I chose a baked potato c beef chilli and cheese. My friend chose a baked potato c 3 bean chilli and cheese. There was a separate bowl c cheese, plus salad and coleslaw. Potato was ample but very little filling i.e. like 1 tablespoon. But disappointed with the filling portions size, but we were both satisfied after the meal. Service was good.

    Hello Mairi Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the service and food but sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with the portion sizes. I will feedback this to management and kitchen to hit the mark for next time!
