The setting is wonderful, decor interesting and relaxing, and the food is excellent! But unfortunately The Old Bridge is let down by the very slack service. We had to ask for our drinks order, ask for nenus, ask for water, which then didnt come, and our plates were left uncleared for ages bewteen courses. Sunday lunch took well over 2 hours for two courses, and we couldn't face waiting any longer for desserts of coffees, so left. All the staff were working flat out, I couldn't fault them, but they just need at least three more at busy times.
Also as we left, people were eating practically off their knees at the low tables in the reception area, food was being served everywhere it seemed, not just the restaurant. They need to restrict food to the dining areas, then the staff would be able to cope. Or say booked tables only. The ambience of the reception area, with its sofas and soft furnishings, is totally ruined by the presence of food.
Rather an anticlimax, after previous good experiences here.
