    I’ve had better food at Nova, the Mother’s Day lunch was quite average

    Our mistake was to take the English breakfast buffet option, it was as well prepared as eggs, sausage, bacon etc can be prepared but we felt it didn’t match the venue... buffet breakfast can only be so good and so we should have opted for the à la carte breakfast options instead.

    The desert served for mothers day was not up to standard, to much cocoa and had to wait for the ice cream to soften to eat it as we could not get out spoons in it it was that hard when served, the rest of the meal was absolutely delicious.

    I was happy with value of the food but the quality wasn’t that good the I didn’t enjoy the starters, the main course was too salty the chef shouldn’t put too much salt due to health issues. I didn’t want to attempt the dessert I don’t like chocolate and everything was chocolate . In enjoyed the ambiance but food not at all
