16th November 2010 We recently went to Fernilea for a birthday brunch/lunch. They were extremely busy only just squeezing us in at a lovely shaded outside table. The service was prompt, with water on our table as soon as we were seated. All the staff were polite and cheerful. All the food we ordered was of faultless yumminess and plentiful size. Very reasonably priced and a wonderful atmosphere
9th May 2011 I took my wife to Fernilea for her first mothers day. I booked a table a week in advance at 10am, upon arriving 10 minutes late we were chastised by the duty manager for being late. They had us booked in for 9.30am? She seemed incredibly dissapointed that we were only having a coffee and just pointed in the general direction of our table. 5 minutes later, she came over and said taht seems so we are only having coffee that we wouldn't mind sitting on the couch and make room for someone who wants to eat. At which point we refused. We ended up having coffee and cake which was nice. To top the experience off, the cat lying on the couch we were supposed to sit on managed to lunge at my son and scratch his face from his eye to his chin (wonderful). Not sure why an animal is able to wonder freely round an eating establishment.
