Admirals Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

A group of us visited The Limes yesterday evening for a Birthday celebration. It's a lovely venue but sadly let down by appalling Service. There only seemed to be two members of staff Waiting on the Dining Area, one was totally inexperienced and hadn't got a clue (not his fault if he hadn't been trained) and as a consequence the other was rushed off his feet. Problemswe experienced including very slow service, the New staff member not knowing what drinks they sold, what measures to sell them in, or how to work the "till" at the Bar. Then, when the main courses eventually arrived, one of our Guests was served with vegetables on their plate that were still frozen solid ! (Made me wonder how well everything else had been "cooked" ?). That meal was eventually replaced after others in the party had already finished theirs, and then while the guest was still eating her replaced meal, the staff began clearing the table and removed everyone else's plates - very bad etiquette which gave the impression that they just wanted to get rid of us, so we didn't stay much longer ! Having said all that the prices were reasonable, and my own meal ( Cod and chips ) was quite good, but I won't be going back.

Sunday lunch was delicious, probably one of the best I've ever had. Everything was well seasoned and presented nicely. My partner had fish and chips and he was happy as well. My mother had salmon which was very nice, the only let down was a side serving of vegetables, they had no seasoning at all and looked a bit sad which was surprising as everything else was of a high standard.

I treated my friend to afternoon tea today. I had had to postpone from 2 weeks ago and they kindly rebooked today, even though it was a last minute cancellation. The waitress was extremely pleasant and helpful and the food of a very high standard. However the experience was spoilt by the constant stream of people passing by our table. We couldn't wait to get away. They were moving building materials into the new room erected yesterday next to our table, which did not help the ambience. Probably wouldn't go back although no criticism of food or service. Reasonable price too.

We have not been able to stop sharing our experience and food taste experience with all as catered for by admirals restaraunt on chrsitmaa day which was absokuteky amazingkybtasty ans filking with large oortions and organised servuce welldone guys considering it wasba busy a big day also ans welldone for all that worked on tge days they would have probably liked to have had off to soend with loces In etc thanking all involved

The homemade lasagne was amazing!! Blueberry cheesecake too! delicious The service was very timely given that there were plenty of other diners highly recommend Admirals

See main review, don't go here for anything edible because they don't like cooking the veg, like bricks
