The Park

Fantastic experience: The Parks Restaurant is good value for money and an amazing way to support students with their sights set on a career in hospitality. The young man who served us was attentive and was a great ambassador for the restaurant. You get 3-courses for £14.50 which is incredible value, the pigeon salad was particularly nice. Definitely one to try.

Negative experience: Awful experience. Food was terrible, all beige and everything badly cooked. The aranchini was a tough fried pellet, as were the doughnuts. Nothing fresh. Very like a bad school meal. The food labeling was confusing and writing so tiny it was impossible to determine what food was veggie /vegan /gluten free etc which was an issue for our party. Also, the staff did not seem to care about whether we had a pleasant experience or not. I know it's cheap but avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

Negative experience: Chips reheated and half of chicken was more like a sparrow

Negative experience: Three of us came here today at 12.10 pm. Asked if there was enough time to eat a quick lunch - one of the summer menu courses (just one course) since we had to leave at 12.50pm for an appointment. Was told there was. Ordered a chicken pie and 2 burgers. Come 12.43pm, no food arrived and no one came to update us on the status of the order since I ordered... So I cancelled the order... I am sorry I had to cancel it since they were probably in the midst of preparing it, but basically from this experience, I would say be prepared to wait at least half an hour for food to arrive. The restaurant wasn't full, it was just us and another table with 2 ladies seated. The staff are trainees, I get that, so I'm saying it just to give you an idea of timescales. Ordered 3 Cokes with the order. Those were delivered soon after we sat down, so drinks seem fast. However was charged £5.75 for the 3 Cokes, but on the menu it actually listed the Cokes as being 70p each. So basically they ended up charging us around what a high street restaurant chain like Pizza Express would charge for soft drinks. Fair enough but at those chains, at least food would be served much faster when the restaurant is quite empty, and if not, complaints would be in order. If you want to charge normal restaurant prices, give the same level of service. Overall not impressed. Also it would have been easier if they hadn't told me at the start that there would be enough time for us to eat something! They should be more aware of timescales for cooking. Most proper restaurant staff would tell you how long it'd take for the food to be ready and how long the wait would be so you can decide if it would fit your schedule.

Fantastic experience: Love the whole experience. . Treatment is amazing.. wouldn't have anyone else do my lashes than faye.. she is so friendly and welcoming and I love my lashes. Thank you faye.

Positive experience: Students of hospitality skills serve the meal, sometimes a bit clumsily. Food was excellent, especially succulent roast sparerib.

Fantastic experience: Lovely Spa and Beauty treatment centre. Perfect for a relaxing massage or any of the other treatments they offer. Very friendly and helpful staff with a nice calming atmoshphere. Wonderful treatments mean that you leave feeling much better than when you arrived! A true hidden gem.

Fantastic experience: A great hairdresser training centre

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming. Great colouring

Fantastic experience: A good range of beauty services, gym and restaurant. They are training facilities so expect variable service, but variable in a good way. You can see the students are trying their best under the instruction of their tutors. They are on a journey in their learning and it's a privilege to be a part of it to help them. I find the services are top quality and it is exceptional value for money, you just might have to be very clear in your description of what you are wanting. Would highly recommend.

Positive experience: We use the astroturf friendly staff I like it.
