City: Milborne Port (near Shaftesbury), Gainsborough, DT9 5BA Milborne Port, UK, Ukraine
"There were just a handful of diners for our lunch time meal at the Clockspire which has a large open dining room. The cavernous space was cold and lacked atmosphere, exacerbated by so few fellow travellers. Staff were attentive without being intrusive. The kitchen offers fine dining and yet most of our dishes were over seasoned with salt very prominent. Portions were tiny and relatively expensive, as were wines. Overall the restaurant fails to offer value for money, and we are unlikely to return in the near future. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £70–80 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2 Recommended dishes: Duck Breast"

"Unfortunately the staff have been rude every time I've visited. Whether it is on the phone or in person they are rude and aggressive. Unfortunately they don't have masses of competition which is why people have to put up with it. Over the lockdown period the way they speak to potential customers has been appalling."
