We had a lovely Sunday Roast Sirloin of Beef at The Commodore today. The Yorkshire pudding what the best we have had in years! The beef was cooked to perfection beautifully tender and plentiful. The roast potatoes were crisp and delicious and we had four each!! A gravy boat each which is brilliant as we love gravy. The value of the meal and the lovely staff made for a perfect lunch. Well done !!!!

The room was ok clean. But very noisy outside pub,music going on till late at night. We didn't get served at the bar,was told to get our drinks at the tent outside, which had run of beers but were only serving prosecco by the bottle. So as to get you to spend more money. WE LEFT. Breakfast was,awful, and served cold.toast got stuck in the toaster, tea and coffee cold. Staff took ages to come with your order.
