Jaxon's - Eating House

Excellent
Apr 29th, 2023

If I could give Jaxons negative stars, it would not be enough. We didn't even get around to using this venue due to the disgusting behaviour of its owner. My friend planned to have her wedding reception here and I am so thankful she did not. Firstly, when going to view the venue, the excitable General Manager, told us they could provide a BBQ style buffet, with lamb shanks, grilled salmon and food inspired by the Greek/English bride and groom. We then asked to see the main dining area but was unaware an event was taking place. This didn't stop the GM from insisting we take a look so we popped in there and quickly realised we had crashed a funeral wake. We hurriedly left and said we would come back when there was no one there and in the meantime they would email us a menu. Despite clear communication and promises (by the owner and GM) that Jaxons could deliver this Greek/English style buffet they sent us a copied menu of the local turkish kebab shop selection (literally copied and pasted from a website) and what can only be described as an Iceland style buffet. At this point we thought it was best to liase with the owner with some ideas of what the bride and groom hoped for (such as grilled meat and veg, lamb shanks which was the GM's idea) and if we could get together and see what was achievable when next visiting the venue. When we arrived we were met with the owner screaming at my pregnant friend that "what you want is ridiculous, I suggest you find another venue." To say we were shocked is an understatement. The owner stood there screaming at us as my friend sobbed and was left frozen. After I interverned and calmed the situation down, I asked the owner what they were able to achieve for the wedding buffet. This consisted of him going back and forth from the kitchen showing us the Costco bought produce, oven food and deserts that they use. I mean I love a bit of Costco but didn't expect this for a "highly rated" restaurant. The owner then continued with bad mouthing other customers that they had stained his carpet and how he's had to pay for it to be cleaned and talking about his failed lorry business. We left shocked, knowing we would never come back and we could not allow our friend to continue with this venue. Steer clear!

We attended an after funeral gathering and found the function room, service and food(buffet) excellent.

Was here for a private event but was a pleasant evening. Its abit out of the way so unless you driving be ready to pay for a cab. Otherwise nice scenery and setting. Not that big of a space but it's more of an intimate setting. Staff where friendly too
