    We attended the 20th anniversary celebration of The Apprentice. A wonderful evening, 5 courses with matched wines. We had a great meal as always. Well done to the students, they all were fantastic!

    There was a lot of food. The entrée and desserts are nice but the main was disappointing- too salty and lack of flavour. Too little veggies, mostly meat and carb. I hope you prepare more veggies next time.

    A great option to dining with the added value that emerging hospitality students are gaining essential experience and knowledge in their field. The setting, dining, service and cost will without any doubt make 'The Apprentice' a must to book.

    Service was excellent and food was superb. It’s really good value for money. The flower arrangement was beautiful as always. Been there for a few years and the service and quality of food are always the same.

    The food was excellent. The coffee was a disgrace. The service and yes this is a training restaurant was a bit of a mess and I did not see much direction from the trainers. The coffee which the student said was complimentary and we got charged for was filter coffee that had been made a long time ago and left stewing on the warmer. All hot food was served on hot plates to keep your meal hot. Unfortunately not a lot of “hatted” diners do this which is a pity. Small wine list at sensible prices. All meals were generous portions.

    Thankyou for your feedback, and for supporting our training restaurant. We are sorry the coffee did not meet your expectations, and that our student gave you the wrong information regarding the coffee being complimentary. Our beverages, including tea and coffee are not complimentary.

    able to order individually from the 2 choices avail for each of the courses. always nice to see the students putting their training into practice, and some may understandably be a little nervous - but that's part of being a customer in this venue. interesting and delicious dishes, another great visit!
