    The burgers a bit bland, but the real issue was that 3 of the puddings were not available???

    The Taste at Manley responded on Mon 06 Jul 26:
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the burgers did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you letting us know. We do usually get rave reviews on them so I will definitely look into it. We also sincerely apologise that desserts were unavailable. As it was our last trading day before our annual leave from 6 July to 23 July, we made the decision to offer a selection of dessert specials instead of preparing our full dessert menu, as we wanted to avoid unnecessary food wastage while ensuring we still had delicious dessert options available for our guests. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back after our break, where we look forward to providing you with the full menu once again. Kindest regards, Nadia

    Very friendly waitress. Generous portions. The venison carpaccio starter was large enough for a main course.
