My friend booked this and what a pleasant surprise it was. Great service, very professional staff who were friendly and approachable. The food was excellent with only minor criticism and at a very good price. Definitely recommend. Wasn't overly keen on the soup for starters but my friend had the parfait which was great. Main was duck and cooked to perfection. Dessert was Bakewell tart, the raspberry purée was lovely and the combinations went well.

Great food great service from all. The menu was well presented and well thought out I actually forgot I was at a college as the food is definitely fine dining style.
Lovely young server name Lucas was very attentive as were the others.
Lovely manager name John would highly recommend anyone to visit.

Really disappointed with my visit. After seeing all the positive reviews on here, I decided to drive there on my lunch break and try out the 3 course menu.
When I arrived, the reception had no idea what to do with a visitor unless they had booked and they had to call the restaurant to even decide if they would let me on campus.
The student server was pleasant but didn't seem to know what to do with a visitor. The adult manager-type person was very cold and unwelcoming. There was a real lack of clarity over how to order food, where to sit, when to pay, how to order drinks, etc as nothing was explained to me on arrival.
I didn't get the 3 course meal offered to me as apparently this is only available if I book in advance, and I ended up in a Deli area with all the students on lunch. I wouldn't have minded so much if this is what I was expecting, but the college website didn't have any mention of this so I was taken by surprise. When I mentioned it to the manager-type guy, he didn't seem to care all that much and I felt like he shrugged it off.
I was really excited to come here and try the 3 course meal, but after my recent experience I'm not sure whether I'd return.
TLDR: if you are an external visitor, be ready to be treated as an outsider.

What a little gem fantastic food paired with a great choice of wines from Rodney Densems. We will be coming again. The students did a fantastic job.

A gem of a place that needs more publicity for its lunchtime openings. Its gourmet evenings and special events are usually sold out. The food is excellent , freshly cooked and delicious. The students are all very professional. The prices are extremely reasonable.

Wonderful vaule for money at £10.50 for 3 courses at lunch time. Students do a very well lead and attentive service and delicious food.
