Every review you bring in, each one put against the person it names. Nobody is credited until a manager says so.

Narrow it down

Tripadvisor is not connected — nothing has been read from it, so it shows no reviews rather than zero reviews. No review platform has given us credentials yet; their reviews here arrived as a CSV export. 64 notes came from the group's own feedback form, shown unsigned as “Our own form”.

Waiting to be counted

Each one is a guess about who a review is thanking, with the words it matched on. Confirm it and it counts on the board. Reject it and it never does.

    Walked in without a booking on a Tuesday and got treated like regulars. Katherine had the timing down to the second. the cheese cart alone is worth the trip. Our 8:00 table for 2 ran long and nobody rushed us. Room runs loud when it is full. Already booked for next month.

The staff board

Confirmed credits only. 190 attributions are still waiting to be confirmed and are not counted here. A credit nobody confirmed is a guess, and a guess should never settle who won the month.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. The board fills in as the queue above is worked through.

Worth a look

Patterns in the reviews themselves, put in front of a person to read. None of this is an accusation and none of it touches anyone’s standing. Read the reviews side by side and decide what it is.
