The Gunroom Restaurant restaurant reviews






Average rating: 4.7
We enjoyed the evening overall for a birthday celebration. The main course meat and fish were well cooked. The sides were a disappointment. The beef fat fries too dry and powdery and the broccoli a little overcooked with covered with a powdery hard cheese. I found a piece of crab shell in my main course. The entremets were interesting some delicious others odd. Nice bit of gastro theatre with the smoked butter ( won't add spoiler here!). The deserts were excellent. Refreshing and indulgent at the same time. Made us consider a repeat visit for afternoon tea. I feel a bit mean about the 3 * for service and we did tip because the host and the female waiter were great at the start and during the meal. Unfortunately we were on first sitting and the staff were rushing around to prepare for the second sitting. I didn't appreciate being ignored when my coffee needed replacing owing to it being ridiculously weak ( when I poured it I thought it was tea!) We mentioned the service at the end but didn't complain otherwise because we didn't want to spoil the evening.
