08/07/2025: Loved our visit. Will definitely be booking again 👌

06/07/2025: I visited The Old Granary yesterday to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed with the overall experience – particularly with the service and communication from the restaurant. To begin with, booking for more than 8 people was needlessly difficult. The website advised calling for larger groups, but despite trying to ring the restaurant three times throughout the day, no one answered. I resorted to emailing, clearly explaining it was for a birthday celebration, requesting to change the booking to 10 people and asking for a cosy corner with confirmation. I received a response the following day – just one poorly written sentence without a full stop, simply saying the booking was changed to 10. No greeting, no apology, no confirmation tone – not what I’d expect from a professional establishment. Upon arrival, the restaurant was extremely hot and stuffy. We had to ask for fans to be turned on, and even then, the temperature remained uncomfortably high. What made matters worse was the overly pushy approach from the waiter. Within the first 10 minutes of sitting down – before I even had my drink – I was questioned about a guest who hadn’t yet arrived. I explained they were running late, but the waiter continued pressuring us to order quickly and reminded us that we could only stay until 7 or 7:15pm. He even suggested I send the menu to my friend so they could place an order by phone, which I found completely inappropriate and intrusive. What should have been a relaxed and celebratory meal felt rushed and uncomfortable from the very beginning. It’s disheartening to be having these awkward conversations on your birthday before the drinks even arrive. To top it off, when the bill came – which totaled around €500 – the same waiter pointed at my partner and told him he needed to pay the bill. I found this extremely presumptuous and unprofessional. That kind of comment is simply out of line. When the guest who was running late finally arrived, the waiter attempted some odd and poorly received jokes – including suggesting she drink her sauce through a straw. It just added to the discomfort of an already disappointing evening. All in all, I’ve never been treated this way at a restaurant, especially not when we were spending a significant amount of money. The entire experience was lacking in professionalism and hospitality. Sadly, I wouldn’t return, and I can’t recommend The Old Granary based on this visit.
