    Quite boring approach to serving from female waitress at dinner table. Air conditioning in bedroom that sounded unusually loud. Uneven floor under the carpet in the room. Otherwise satisfied ✨✨✨✨

    Food and cocktails amazing, as always. The staff are always nice and helpful. But no matter what time of day we go, we always find the service is slow, both for drinks and food, which lets it down. I still go, but with the expectation that we could be there a while. However, it's difficult to consider for a client lunch on that basis.
    The LamperyResponded on April 14, 2025
    Dear Joanne Thank you so much for your continued support and kind words about our food, cocktails, and team - it truly means a lot to us. We're sorry to hear that the speed of service hasn't matched the rest of your experience. That's certainly not the standard we aim for, and we understand how this can be frustrating, especially when considering us for client lunches. Your feedback is valuable, and we're actively looking at ways to improve timing without compromising on quality. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, our food and beverage manager will be reaching out directly to you to follow up and ensure your concerns are addressed. We're committed to making improvements and hope to welcome you back soon for a smoother experience. Warm Regards Nondu Dlamini Hotel Coordinator

    This is a great places to go for a business lunch. The menu is varied, reasonable and the quality of food and service is also good. The decor is light and airy but the best thing is the tables aren't too close together, so you can actually hear a conversation rather than having to shout.

    Three of our party were seated facing the huge LED screen, which we found annoying. It’s a very weird thing to have in a restaurant. Service was extremely slow, although the servers were very friendly and polite. The burgers and club sandwich were good. However, the Lampery Pie was disappointing - a shallow dish of mainly potato, the fish/prawn/mussel filling was very small and that’s all you get for £21. No veg! The main course had taken so long we didn’t have time for dessert. Even the coffees took ages. Two hours for one course. Can’t recommend this restaurant, unfortunately.
    The LamperyResponded on March 31, 2025
    Dear Andrew Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that parts of your experience didn't meet expectations. We appreciate your comments about the service and food, and we regret that the wait times and the LED screen affected your visit. Your feedback on the Lampery Pie is valuable, and we'll be reviewing it with our kitchen team. We always strive to provide a great dining experience, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Our Food and Beverage Manager will be reaching out directly to you in hopes that we can make things right. Warm Regards Nondu Dlamini Hotel Coordinator

    Loved it. We came for the Valentine’s Day experience. Staff were attentive and very helpful from seating to explaining dishes and serving us promptly. Ambiance was cosy with live music and comfy chairs. Food was incedible, not a bad thing to say about it! *chefs’ kiss*
