Driftwood Restaurant in Havant

Too much of a scramble to take food from buffet as there were no clear ways to queue. Food was of good standard with quite wide choice of dishes.

Included in break at Warners. Good choice of food Always replenished and good and hot. Drinks ordered at table took ages to come, if ever

No allocated tables ,we were led to 4 different rooms to find a table. Self service dining and waiting staff bumping into residents who are trying to get back to there table with there food. Waiters talking to each other in there own language. Dirty glasses as well as water jugs and orange juice jugs. Food not acceptable, some foods off menu others were substituted for something entirely different.

The food was generally well cooked and presented and there was a good choice. The waiter service was a little patchy (and it wasn't clear at the outset what was served and what you collected from the buffet, although that is OK after the first time), and it was annoying to be refused water by a waitress because we weren't one of "her" tables - despite the fact she was standing next to us with a jugful of water! If I was on a long stay here, this would satisfy our needs, although I would definitley eat out on some evenings - try the Ferry Boat inn!

Table waiters/waitresses need to be retrained to provide good customer service. Out of the 24 different waiters/waitresses we had at our meals only 5 could be said to have provided a good service.

Wow! what a choice of meals for evening and breakfast. Would recommend booking a table and meal time that suits you as soon as you arrive.

Meals cooked to perfection and great choices for each meal. Delicious roast dinner on Sunday, with all the trimmings!

lovely food and service, Very good menu to choose from. Very varied . Wine list also good, and bar drinks were good.

Friendly and helpful staff serving food to the table, no buffet as before. Excellent quality, plenty of it too!

Covid safe with excellent service by all staff and a great selection of food.food was all delivered to your table by masked staff to keep you covid safe,many thanks to all staff.

Lovely food. I recommend ordering a little extra if you're hungry. The staff were nice and it was a really good coffee!

Enjoyed the breakfasts immensely- good choice and the full English very good only thing missing for me was black pudding Evening meals portions on the small side so had to ask for more in advance. Should routinely offer regular ie small or large portions. Fairly good selections including desserts.

The food has much improved as has the service. Lots of choice and food now seems to be served much hotter than previously. Some descriptions of dishes are a bit misleading, but perhaps that is part of the surprise. My only comment is that the floor can be very slippery as I saw at least two people nearly slip over when just walking to their table.

High standard as always at Warner hotels restaurants. Many items from the kitchen at breakfast the choice is vast ... at dinner you can have a starter from the kitchen (the soup is always very well made) or the comprehensive salad bar. Plenty of varied vegetables in addition to meats of the day. Deserts give a very good choice too. Wine is available and they are top class. Always well cooked and presented.

The Drift is one of our favourites on the island. Great to enjoy a drink and meal with friends or family.

The restaurant is well maintained and is well staffed. Breakfast is both self service and served should you wish to have something a little different from the extensive set out range. Breakfast has plenty of choice in both cold as well as hot items. The cook breakfast has a good variety and is well cooked and presented. my wife went for the cooked to order pancakes which looked and she told me were excellent. Good start to day with ample choice to keep your engine running until the evening meal which was again a choice between self service and waiter/waitress service of chef special meals. A choice of fish was always available as was the meat carvery with two meats per evening. For salad lovers the choice was impressive. All in all a good quality restaurant with lots of choice.

We ate in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner.Breakfast had lots of choice on the menu for set dishes but the main feature was the buffet. A variety of cereals was on offer along with fruits and yoghurts. There was, of course, a hot buffet with the usual fayre - hash browns, sausages, bacon, eggs and so on. Toast and tea/coffee was served by the waiter at the table. Also fruit juices and smoothies were available.Dinner was a three course affair - choices on the menu for both starters and mains were varied but the buffet was also available with pies, fish and carved meats. Desserts included pavlovas, crumbles, ice creams and so on.

There was a great choice on every menu, including vegataian options. The service was excellent, our witer, Nico, was a hoot.

We ate here for 7 days during our stay. The menu was variable though could be repetitive. Seating was comfortable and service was average due to the number of people . More staff definitely needed. The food was very good quality and the classic dishes were nicely presented and prepared.

excellent choice of food every night and the staff were some of the best i have encountered. Cristina and Antonio were really good and helpful

the best we have had for long time, the food was heavenly , the only complaint is i have put on weight. i wish i could have tried everything but next trip. keep up the standards

Staff were friendly enough but service was very slow. Fish arrived in thick dark brown batter, chips were same colour- pizza was ok. The decor is a bit odd, they’ve tried to throw fairy lights at it but needs a bit of an overhaul- someone drew a tattoo on the mirror in the toilets to cheer them up but it just needed a good clean and maybe a lick of paint. Overall quite a disappointing experience.

I was very interested in the great reviews and given we were going to Sinah Warren to look at their leisure facilities, I thought great opportunity to also go for dinner. Unfortunately not an option :-(

WOW! So much to chose from and great quality and great service from our friendly waitress, thank you, Theresa.

Good selection of meals, all well cooked and well presented. Wide selectionof items for breakfast and for dinner either a selection of main courses served to the table or a part self-service carvery with several options accompanied by deserts served to the table. Very good waiter service.

Love bright and airy restaurant.Plenty of choices on the menu or from the carvery, Knowledgeable and helpful waiting staff.

If you've got the appetite for it after breakfast and dinner (and some people did!) then this is for you.

Great food and lots of choices every day from table service too carvery and buffet always nice and fresh and replenished all the time

We breakfasted & dined here as part of our 4 night stay at Sinah Warren. The food was very good, plenty to choose from, to suit all tastes, buffet & cook to order; starters & desserts are served to the table.

Thought I would like to say that my favourite fish is fillet of Bass and this was on the menu. This time last year we dined at Rick Steins restaurant at Sandbanks but The driftwood Bass was far superior in presentation and taste so compliments to the Chef!

Being very fussy eaters we were very happy with all our choices. Food was delicious! Our waitress Marta was very helpful and couldn’t have done anymore to make our dining experience memorable!

Good choice of food, varied every day, dinning rooms kept very clean, our stay was spoilt by having bad service from a particular waiter, had proper service from the girl who covered for him on his day off.

The choice of food was good it’s a shame that the standard wasn’t. The vegetables left some to be desired and the was a lack of variety to the soup of the day. It felt cramped and was difficult to move around some of the tables

Some places never change, you go back there after six months or a year and they are as good as ever and the Driftwood at Sinah is one of those places.

Came here for a Father’s Day meal. All had carverys which were nice. Only issues are had to wait about ten minutes for fresh roast potatoes to be brought out and you get a really small helping of meat. Other then that delicious food. Would go again

Varied menu and food well presented. Service is very good and nothing is too much trouble. Although plenty of choice,

Me and Becky joined 15 other family members for a long weekend and this was were we had breakfast and dinner.

This is a lovely restaurant and the good is really good,we have enjoyed our meals, the food is served fresh and hot.

This is a very modern refurbished dining hall within the Sinah Warren hotel. Serves great food and is very clean. The staff are always willing to help and are very efficient, we look forward to returning soon.

We were staying at Warners last week so ate here for breakfast and evening meal. The food is always good and piping hot and served with a smile.

our young portugeese waiter was polite well manered and nothing was to much trouble.the table was well laid out and plates were cleared quickly

Huge variety of dishes, and nothing too much trouble for staff who are friendly and accommodating. Menu changes every day.

The Driftwood restaurant is pleasant to sit in and again the staff very efficient and friendly. Over this last weekend we found that the food served from the kitchen was not up to its usual standard and in fact we sent back two meals, as did the people on the table next to us. We sent back ‘Beef Medallions’ which bore no resemblance to medallions and I could have put it on the sole of my boots and got some wear out of the meat. Not good. The other dish retuned was the pork, which again was so tough you could not cut it. The presentation of the food has definitely gone down, just plonked on the plate, and the ‘winter greens’ on the menu came up as very tired French beans!! Perhaps the chef needs to re-think what he puts on the menu and how it is served. Very disappointed with the food and we are not fussy eaters.

Always difficult to decide what to eat when presented with such delicious looking food. Always plenty to eat and all tasted good.

We had half board for 4 days. At breakfast there is a choice of cereals, juices, porridge and full English from a self-serve buffet, but there is also a menu with items such as scrambled eggs and salmon, kippers, Eggs Royale, poached eggs, and omelettes which are brought by your waiter. There is a different dinner menu each day, with a huge choice. There are several starters or soup of the day which are brought to your table. Then you can visit the buufet which has a superb salad bar, carvery and a 'themed' area which may be Indian, Italian etc. The fish special is also on the buffet - while we were there it featured red mullet, salmon and sea bass on different days. On top of this there are menu selections which are brought to your table - usually about 6-8 dishes including a couple of vegetarian options. (Although not vegetarians by principle, we opted for those on occasion because they were very interesting and tasty recipes.) There is usually a choice of four or five desserts, including 'pudding and custard' favourites. Again the selection changed each evening, and there was always a range of ice creams - we thought the Oriental Ginger was particularly good. We saw that snack meals were available from the bar at lunch time, but with such good breakfasts and dinners we didn't feel the need to try them.

When balancing: quality of food, quantity of food, the restaurent decor, the service and the price, this restaurant is the best we have been to. I am therefore not surprised to see the restaurent has one of the best ratings.

Jordan our waiter made the stay and meals more enjoyable. Food was either satisfactory or good. Fish courses tended to be above average but the liver dish was terrible; overcooked and tough. Once used to the menu and after taking advice from Jordan we learnt what to order.

We enjoyed a 4 day stay at Sinah Warren. Facilities were extremely good, rooms very comfortable and the Restaraunt's food selection was amazing.

Usual Warner set up, with servery for collecting buffet meals from. Very pleasant surroundings, but beware tables in the number...

A bright and well organised area with extensive serving areas and attentive staff. The meals were hot and varied in...

Más relajantes vacaciones Warner y hemos hecho bastante! Disfrutamos de nuestra estancia, hemos reservado para volver en octubre.

Comida exquisitamente cocinada, caliente y comida de la cocina servida por camareros muy rápido eficiente y bien informado. El curry fue el bar tenía 5 tipos diferentes para elegir, definitivamente haya infinitas posibilidades. La noche italiana ofreció una variada selección de platos de pasta. El carvery general la carne siempre fue cocinado a la perfección.

Luz ventilado restaurante. Opción de buffet o a la carta. Toda la comida se sirve en platos calientes cuando proceda. El personal muy amable y atento. Me encantó el asador.

Visitar Sinah Warren la semana pasada, tuvimos un número de comidas en el Driftwood restaurante. Como es habitual, el servicio de mesa excelente y Konrad mismo superado anticipándose a lo que queríamos, incluso antes de que supiéramos lo que queríamos. Un placer tener un servicio así. . La variedad de comida es amplia que abarque los gustos y las necesidades de la mayoría de personas y a veces lo que deseamos que podría haber más de un plato, si podía soportar. Buena selección para el desayuno para alimentos fríos y calientes. Por la noche, el bar tiene una buena selección de curry, pero el pollo Korma era un poco soso, poco más aderezos chef necesitaba! ! Buena selección de ensaladas para aquellos que quieran algo más ligero y la selección de platos italianos estaba bien, había mucho para elegir y muy sabroso. El restaurante está bien establecido e incluso en el clima caliente y agradable razonablemente fresca para comer. Todo el personal es cortés y amable y un lugar relajante para comer.

Buena selección de comida tanto en el desayuno como en la cena. Platos diferentes cada noche 'Peciality así como asados de carne hasta tres.

Three course evening meal. Fantastic table service, including bar service.Breakfast fantastic choice of cooked or cold food, can't fault the food at Warners at all.

Very good food which is both Buffet or some items are freshly cooked and served to you at your table

This is a lovely dining restaurant. The breakfast & evening meal is always exceptional. Our waiter for the weekend was Vincent who was always cheerful & helpful.

The Driftwood has a very good choice of food from table service to buffet. Salads, carvery, meal of the day etc. with very attentive staff.

Plenty of choice...well cooked and presented. Very good carvery and lovely and hot. Self service options always kept well replenished.

A nice, modern and comfortable restaurant, well appointed for access. Efficient and friendly staff. Recommend it.

Thank you to Graham and his team for an excellent Sunday Lunch today. We were shown to a quiet table with lovely views across the harbour. Service was friendly and efficient. The three course carvery lunch was beautifully prepared and the meats in particular were top quality. Value for money is unbeatable. Recommended ! Paul & Karen

This was ideal for a light bite through the day. Reasonable prices. Jacket potatoes, Scampi, Panninis just a few of the things on offer.

The choice of food must almost cater for the most selective of eaters. The service is good. My only comment would be that the food needs to be a little hotter on some of the dishes from the buffet. The fish pie in particular needs to be hotter as mine was just about warm. Tasty, but not hot enough.

The food was excellent, there was such a choice. G.F. Vegetarians, Diabetics all catered for. The food was beautifully cooked and always served nicely presented on the plate.

We arrived at Sinah Warren early and had lunch here,,it was very good. A nice choice of food along with cakes and coffees. The tables are a bit small for a restaurant. The service was very good

We have just returned from an enjoyable break at Sinah Warren. In spite of ‘Storm Angus’ which made its presence felt on Saturday night, the daytime weather was not too bad, bit windy, but dry enough to get out.The weekend entertainment comprised a singer On Friday night – Kieran Sutcliffe – who was excellent. Beautiful voice, and a sense of humour as well and was well received by the audience. Good start to the weekend. Saturday night it was the turn of the wonderful Brian Conley who as usual brought the house down with his jokes, interactivity with the audience and his singing. Great entertainer and got a standing ovation which was well deserved. Also, it was good to see Will Sammes singing on stage again. Sunday night was the in house team, who are such a talented bunch of people. Working during the day, dancing and singing their socks off in the evening. Nightfall is a great show and different from the usual type of show put on by the team. The Sailaways are a very talented and versatile band with an equally talented singer Jana, lovely voice and very elegant dress on Saturday night. Loved it.The in house team singers gave a short concern on the Saturday, prior to the main event, which showed what depth of talent they have in the team. Sinah Warren is a great hotel, with lots to offer for those staying the weekend, no matter what the weather. Accommodation is good, clean and well-appointed with varying types of rooms depending on what you want. The basic rooms a quite comfortable and more than enough if you do not spend a lot of time in your room. My only comment would be the lack of light near the mirrors over the ‘dressing table’. Not easy to see what you are doing when putting the ‘slap’ on.The Driftwood restaurant is light and comfortable, with carvery sections for the range of foods on offer. Service is good and quick with plenty help if needed. The Café in the Lounge area has plenty of seats available and food can be brought to the table. The service can be a bit slow at times, needs a bit of sorting out at the main counter when ordering and paying for food, as the same people are preparing the drinks, so one extra person doing the drinks would make a difference. Good selection of food, but prices keep going up!!Bar staff in the Pavilion need to get it together when the bar gets busy. As soon as the queues start to form half of them seem to disappear. Those that remain do not seem to be enjoying their job at all and it shows..Would we return – yes we would and will be going back in January. Would recommend this hotel for whatever type of break you are looking, active or lazy.

We both had the carrot & coriander soup to start with a fresh roll and butter. It was not highly seasoned as is so often the case with soup so I really enjoyed the delightful flavour. Roast lamb for me accompanied by roast potatoes, broccoli, peas and carrots. All piping hot and well cooked (though the peas were a little too hard but that's a personal choice). My husband had the beef and said it was tender and delicious. We both had the white chocolate & lime mousse for desert but it was a very dense texture, more like a that of a cheesecake. The only lime was actually a coulis on the plate but it was well presented and we ate it all. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, though maybe a tad monotonous when asking every diner, at every course "Was that OK"? On the whole we had a very enjoyable lunch but the major snag for us was when the chef carving and serving the meat was seen wiping his nose on his apron. For me this is a definitely no-no. Please, if you are serving people, make a point of using a handkerchief and then washing your hands. Urgh.

We are just back from Sunday lunch at £11.95 and it is truly a bargain. Sinah Warren is one of the best, if not the best holiday hotel on Hayling Island and while residents have the meals included, visitors can go there too. Starters are served as are the sweets. The main course is a carvery and you can go back for more meat if you would like. The pork, turkey and sea bass were delicious today and as good as the food was six months ago when we last went. What is so good about Sumptuous Sinah is the the price is fair, the staff are all pleasant and polite (thank you Yvonna) and the food is both plentiful and tasty. Thank you Sinah

We had breakfast and lunch here for two days and enjoyed every meal. The portions are a good size and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Food was excellent, varied and really well presented. They catered for poele with allergies and special needs with out a fuss. I would recommend them

Lovely ploughman's lunch.very fresh and well presented if a little expensive. it was very fresh and enjoyable

Good choice of menu, choice of carvery or from the kitchen menu. Plenty of vegetables and all served hot. Also a good choice of salad

Food in the restaurant is a joy.So many choices at breakfast inc fruit,vegetarian,cereals and full English and you help yourself.Toast,coffee and tea served to your table.Dinner though is just so good.Dishes of the day,Salads,Fish,Curries,Carvery`s and great Sweets as well as soup,wine,cheese boards all with perfect service.Cant ask for anything more.

Clean & pleasant restaurant. Plenty of choice. Staff are efficient & helpful. Very hot on hygiene too, with hand cleansing dispensers & a member of staff on hand in case you forget. We found this very reassuring.

A great meal with very good service. I will be going there again in the foreseeable future.The service is as good as the food which was great.

There is always a good variety of menus on offer. We concentrated on the carvery which was invariably plentiful and tasty.

The food is lovely here. catering for different dietary requirements with a lot of choices. All cooked fresh.

The choice of food is amazing. I am on a restricted diet but the chef did extremely well to cater for me. The staff were all very efficient and so polite.

brilliant restuart food good carvery or serve to table staff excelent will help you carvery if walking difculties always smile and greet you inbright cheery way

Excellent staff, meals were varied and good and catered for special diets. The tables were well spaced apart with plenty of room on them for all the items used for the meal

Excellent choice of food for waiter service or carvery. Restaurant was quite spacious compared to other Warner hotels

nice pub food excellent service bright friendly with a good atmosphere and important clean toilet facilities

We booked a table in the restaurant for a family Father's Day meal,12 people. It was £11.95 each for a 3 course meal.We bought drinks from the bar,white wine,red wine a large bottle of warm,unfortunately, sparkling water.Went to the restaurant and ordered our food.Bread and butter was served...the bread was insignificant...The starters.....arrived...they were all stone cold!Cold soup,cold croquet,all tasteless and greasy.It was now near 2 pm and the restaurant almost empty,so no excuses,just careless chefs.The main courses,all roast dinners,were just not good enough,but fabulous for our 6 dogs.I have never gone home after a meal out ,in my entire life,with so much dry, hard ,old,chewy, over cooked meat that was not eaten and left by everyone at the table in the plates.It was awful meat!Old!Old like the this place customers !The average customer age in this place is over 70 and I can only guess that they love this food because their dead palates cannot distinguish anymore,bad old food from fresh and tasty.Also in this particular hotel kids are banned!I will never go back there to be parted with money to eat substandard motorway style food.Shame because the structure and the surroundings are really good.On our return home the dogs loved the meat but almost chocked on the dry beef ! Our old Yorkshire Terrier had to be smacked on his back when the chicken got stuck in his throat to be dislodged!!The desserts were frozen....of poor quality too!This meal out left :12 people hungry and an old terrier with a near death experience!NEVER AGAIN!

The quality of the food was excellent with a huge choice. The hotel offers a carvery service but also specific dishes cooked individually from the kitchen. The service from the waiters was exemplary.

We were half board during our stay. The restaurant was vert clean bright and airy. All of the staff were very pleasant and in particular I have to single out our lovely young waitress Tosia. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she did us proud. The food was well prepared and presented and the chef's clearly know their trade. Very pleasant dining experience both breakfast and evening meals wit a good choice of dishes. The fruit smoothie at breakfast was fantastic.

Well worth a visit, the quality of the food is great and the service is exceptional.Good selection and quick service too.

This restaurant forms part of the facilities available to those enjoying a Warner break and consequently provides a large number of buffet entrees at meals. However, a la carte options are available from a menu that is changed daily and these are of a high quality. Nevertheless, all food was cooked to a very good standard and there is certainly an 'eat as much as you like' attitude to everything. Service was friendly and efficient throughout.

This Restaurant gave us excellent meals with good choices as part of the resident guest stay terms B&B plus dinner,

We telephoned in the morning to book a table and the receptionist took our reservation without delay. We arrived at 12.30 and were greeted by pleasant staff who were happy to alter the table where we were to be sitting ... I fancied a window seat and they obliged without making an issue. Our waiter was attentive throughout and brought a fresh jug of water without being asked. The starters arrived quickly - melon in a mint juice for me (a very small offering but I'm not big on starters anyway) and tomato soup for my husband which was piping hot. A choice of meat from the carvery and a "help-yourself" selection of roast and new potatoes, cabbage, carrots and cauliflower. I felt slightly "conned" by the fact the plates were not regular dinner plate size but in fact a smaller version, so whilst it appeared patrons' plates were piled high with food, it was probably no more than one would expect to be served on a normal dinner plate. For pudding I chose the lemon tart which was fresh and tangy and my husband had apple & cinnamon crumble with custard, again piping hot. The restaurant is very big but well laid out although had the tables next to us been occupied it would have been uncomfortably "snug" and one would not have been able to engage in a private conversation. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and the overall experience was good.

Recommend the coffee shop which is open here from 10 till 4.30 pm.Staff all lovely.Managerss works hard to keep this all running well with a great team .Food lovely.Even if you don't stay here you can pop in and use this area.Thank you for all your great services.

Lovely light & airy restaurant. Excellent service and food. Good menu choice. Carvery + waiter service, salad bar. Food delicious & served promptly.

I am truly amazed at the reviews saying how good the food is.For me every course, including the disgusting stale bread offered, was totally inedible. The staff as always at Sinah, were delightful. Such a shame, as the place is spotless, beautifully laid tables etc, however the food and the truly appalling behaviour of some of the older people also eating, shoving and grabbing, means I would rather forage in the grounds than subject myself to that again..

I booked this restaurant as a meal for my husband and I plus our 3 daughters (late teens) as a treat for my birthday and I can honestly say that it was the best carvery and one of the best dining experiences we have experienced.I'd had a particularly hectic Christmas looking after everyone else so it was a real treat for me to be waited on by others. We were shown to our table which was elegantly dressed, located in a pleasant area and close to the carvery, so not too far to walk. Our waitress took our order for our starters which comprised of Home made Tomato and Basil Soup (thick, creamy and lush), Pheasant Pate with Potato and Onion Salad and Toast (delectable), Smokey Cheesecake (a light salmon mouse on a crushed biscuit base - utterly divine) and a Melon Cocktail (ideal for my daughter who has the appetite of a sparrow). Drinks were ordered too and promptly delivered to our table as was the free table water.After our starters we made our way to the carvery where a selection of Beef, Lamb, Turkey and Pork was carved fresh for us. We were then able to help ourselves to a selection of potatoes and vegetables from beneath silver closhes' all of which had been hand prepared and freshly cooked. The meat just melted in your mouth and the lamb was the best lamb I had ever had in a restaurant. Even my picky, sparrow appetite daughter tucked in and said how lovely her food was. Wow!For desert we chose Apple and Pear Crumble with Custard, Baileys Cheescake, Jaffa Cake Ice Cream in a Brandy Snap Basket and Blueberry Cheesecake. All of which were superbly presented on slates (apart from the crumble as the custard would have sploshed everywhere) and all home made.The cost of this lovely 3 course meal was £11.95 per head (exluding drinks) and in all our opinion it was excellent value for money and worth every penny. I know that vegetarian and special dietary food was available as well as the carvery. The restaurant is located inside the Sinah Warren Hotel. Parking is available (free) on site and there is disabled access and suitable tables for wheelchair users (disabled toilets too). The hotel is an old but first class building but the Driftwood Restaurant has a light, clean, modern and contemporary design. We felt relaxed and unhurried during our meal and noticed that the dress code was 'anything ' from casual to smart suits and dresses (more the mature generation opting for this).After our meal, we relaxed some more in the hotel's coffee shop but this was our choice as coffee would have been served to our table in the restaurant had we wanted it to be.I had thought that the Sunday Carvery was only available to guests staying at the hotel but anyone is able to come along and enjoy it. Booking is recommended and children may enjoy the carvery too (cost £9.95). Just to point out though - the hotel itself is adults only so whilst children are able to enter Restaurant they cannot access any other part of the hotel.Will I go back - oh yes! Every Sunday if I could. It is ideal for a casual Sunday lunch or a special occasion and I definatly will not be waiting until my birthday to return.A massive thanks to all the team and the chef(s) who made our experience so tasty and enjoyable.

Three major 'holiday camps' survive on the Island, where once there were five. Two have disappeared, replaced by housing and two have changed their names, but Sinah Warren remains! There was a series of night clubs on the site, which I visited in my younger days and I used to frequent the place with my parents and their friends over the years. I have also seen some good musical acts, including Humphrey Littleton and Helen Shapiro, as well as some forgettable variety shows.However, the only reason to visit these days seems to be their Sunday Carvery, formerly unique on the Island, but now with quite a bit of competition.It used to be a treat, but now has lost its novelty for me. So, when I was recently asked to join some friends for lunch there, it was with some reluctance, I'm afraid, since I knew what to expect!Sadly, my fears were justified, as the roast carvery itself, with same old variety of meat, veg and condiments was provided, with the quality no more than average.However, they do offer three courses, unlike most of the competition and my starter and dessert were excellent, justifying the higher price than other places on the Island.Two out of three ain't bad!The service was also excellent ,

Excellent food ,service and all round comfort. A large choice on menu, either carvery or served from the kitchen to order, abundance of selection regularly topped up .

I visited as a non-resident for Sunday lunch with 5 other people and we all thought this restaurant provided great value for money. We'd booked a table for 1.30pm and when we first arrived there was a long queue for the carvery. We needn't have worried because both drinks and starters was done by waiter service. By the time we had completed our starters there was no queue at all for the main course of Carvery. Dessert orders were also taken by waiter service.The quality of the food was very good although the menu choices were somewhat restrictive. Overall I thought the meal was excellent value - under £12 per person for a three course meal is very reasonable - and I'd happily visit again.

The Breakfasts were fabulous with everything you could want including freshly done pancakes and lovely porridge. Waitress service was excellent, friendly and efficient. Evening meal not as good. Carvery fine but roast beef two nights out of four. Calves liver nothing of the sort. Instant mash! RTher than try to be fancy would be good to concentrate on the staple as and do them well, e.g fish and chips, meat pie, chilli con carne, lasagne, pork chop, improve salad bar ie provide ham, cheese and boiled egg. For starters nice prawn cocktail, normal pate, soup, melon forget the weird sounding stuff. More meals to table could cut down on waste and probably help the budget. Older people don't want buffet style they like to be served at th table a and so do I!

the food here is wonderful, breakfast is divine with everything you could wish for. Meals in the evening are fantastic, 3 courses and really worth every penny. The food here is amazing, tastes good, real restaurant quality, a place to get dressed up for x

Lovely food with a huge choice,the 1/2 rack of ribs were to die for,the waitress looking after us was very attentive although she had several tables to look after,wouldn't expect any less from a Warner..
