Sun Terrace - Reservar una mesa

We went on spec on a Sunday while visiting combe. We got a lovely table for lunch, which was imaginative and perfectly executed. The staff were amazing, well trained and pleasant. When paying, I was totally shocked to be told that they only did lunch...on a Sunday, and it was confined to a small part of the lovely dining area. I said that was ludicrous, and indeed, was told they had turned away diners the previous week as the space was used for afternoon tea diners is of billing. Who turns that away. Further, my wife can't have gluten and her sister is diabetic of what possible use is afternoon tea, with sandwishes, cakes, scones etc. I suspect now we are more, rather than less typical of tourists in England (unlike years ago, which seems to be the mercantile era in which the Midland resides). Yet the Midland does it twice a day, every day, and doesn't offer their superb lunch except rarely and even then it's like winning the lottery to get a reservation. The lunch was also astonishingly reasonable (we live near Oxford so everywhere seems more reasonable than around here). The hotel is also very lovely, Art Deco, by the sea, although a tiny bit frayed. Also, the accommodation seems very dear Who makes these decisions? Good luck and I look forward to lunching here again, perhaps even on a weekday??

eating here was excellent, but don't leave unless they eat very quickly. we went to meet some friends for afternoon tee and booked for when we arrived, we were told that we could only have the table until we had our...tee eating and talking when the waitress arrived with two kartons and the bill with we took this a very sharp indication that we packed all remaining cakes in the boxes and departed. the afternoon to finish the house, it just doesn't cut, especially after two years lock-in and lock-out. a friend of mine had exactly the same experience. we've been discussing the termines with employees in another hotel and said they'll allow two hours. we will find alternative places to meet our friends in future.

Had a beautiful meal here on Saturday evening. I wasn't starving so had starters rather than starter and main. Potted shrimps were great, but another slice of brioche would have balanced the generous portion on shrimps better. The leek risotto was delicious. Tried a...bit of my partners chicken which was also very good. Had a very good bottle of wine good selection with helpful detail. Too full for dessert, so had liqueur coffees in the lounge area. Well worth visiting hope to be back next time we're in the area!

We ate here in February. It was fabulous. They should do lunch every day. Not doing so is downright criminal and wil let the hotel down. Afternoon tea is quaint, but not really lunch. Anyway I wrote all this down in my reveiw...of the hotel try that.

We enjoyed dinner and breakfasts here during our stay at the Midland Hotel and absolutely adored everything about it!
