42 Restaurant Bar At Tea 42

Service was great with really friendly staff. we ordered in the 3 course set menu. the food was delicious, although the choice of the main was a little limited. the a la carte looked very interesting, but with 2 (not interested) teenagers not worth the cost. would definitely try to leave the a la carte menu children to house next time

Excellent meal, lovely staff. Good location and value for money

Upon arrival, the service was impeccable. After complaining about my dinner being too salty though (evidented by the fact I had only eaten the baby carrrots and hadnt really touched the fish the chef, via the waiter, advised me that they had just tried it and said there was nothing wrong with the seasoning. I had not realised we all have exactly the same taste buds....?? They took 75% off from my main, and I asked why 25% was still to be paid. They advised it was because they had no issue with my meal. Total cost (minus the 75% incl. service charge was just under £70, which I was happy to pay. Was very annoyed by the last 25% though and had complimented the service up until then. Waiter continued to debate and eventually argue with me and completely destroyed the ambience of the evening. Would never eat here again nor recommend. Shame really as service had been great until he decided to debate me. So, i paid and left. All could have been avoided if they did the right thing and had just taken the full price of my dinner off the bill. I was more than happy to pay for everthing else, leave a tip, go on my merry way and recommend for others to go, but maybe not order the same as me. Let themselves down.

Friendly helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Varied menu, great food. Ham hock starter was delicious. Will definitely return.

Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing Sunday lunch. Wine a little expensive and the wine list did not include the year of the wine. One slight complaint we were not shown the dessert menu, simply told what it was. We ordered cheese and biscuits but were shocked when the bill included a £4 surcharge which we were not told about. They did, however, remove that surcharge when we complained. Cheese portions were also very small. Overall though these were minor things and we were very impressed and will return.
