This is our second visit here and we can guarantee it won’t be the last. Our server was Claire (she actually served us on our first visit too!) she is so helpful and friendly, an absolute credit to the team. We arrived with minutes to spare before the restaurant closed and this was no issue whatsoever!The food is amazing and hot ( a big deal for my fussy hubby!) very good value too! Highly recommend. Thank you Claire for fantastic service!

Decided to have a meal stay in the Hilton for a treat. So I booked a table for 6PM on Friday 10th May only to be told that the restaurant was closed. Decided to have a bar meal instead which was ok but not the dining experience or choice of menu that was expected within the restaurant. To add insult to injury I got a reservation reminder for the closed restaurant while I was having a drink in the bar. Come on Hilton raise your standards and definitely don’t take bookings if your restaurant is closed. If my room could have been refunded I would have drove back home.

Visited today before the match. Service was amazing and staff were really friendly. Now to the food. We had fish and chips, fish was frozen from a box and grey inside. Chips and mushy peas were lovely. 95.00 for 1 starter, 3 mains, 1 dessert and 3 drinks. We will return but will just order starters and sides. Can't fault staff.

When I visited the Karbon grill it was a relaxing, comfortable and chilled area. It has a great atmosphere with very kind staff. One staff in particular stood out to us. It was Claire Tweddle. We are here for a swimming gala and she showed a really big interest in swimming and she has a great memory. She really made our dinner memorable

Arrived 10 mins early for our booking were shown to table. Staff took quite a while to take starter order- I think this was due to the main course was a carvery and they assumed we didn’t want starters. The fire alarm went off 5 time within 15 mins. We were assured it was a fault and staff apologised. Starter took 45 mins to arrive however the staff explained it was due the fire alarm and the gas in the kitchen cuts off as a safety feature. The chef even came out and apologised. Main meal was nice, beef a bit tough but pork, turkey and ham all reported by other family members to be nice. We had a dessert also. The crumble could easily have served 2! The bill arrived and the starters and mains had been taken off the bill due to the wait and the fire alarm! A lovely gesture and it worked as would definitely return!

We were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. The restaurant is in the lobby of the hotel, which makes it super convenient if you are staying at the hotel. My husband had the fish and chips w/minty mushy peas and I had the chicken schnitzel. Both were good (although we weren't a fan of the mint in the peas - but that was personal preference, nothing to do with the dish itself).

Great in house dining option. Extensive menu - opted for sticky sausage bites to begin- delicious. Followed up with fish and chips and a club salad. Both were generous helpings and very tasty. Service was prompt and attentive and we were offered a choice of seats which was a nice touch. Great to have a good quality restaurant on site.

I met up with a friend who was staying at the Hilton so we dined at the Karbon Grill. The waiting staff were all very attentive and made myself and my friend feel very welcome and at ease (Johnny, Niamh and Lauren). They are a credit to the restaurant and I will look forward to coming back just for their attentive service. I had the Hawaiian pizza which was 10/10. My grind has a chicken dish and said it was really tasty too. Johnny made is an amaretto coffee which was also delicious. The restaurant was very modern and obviously well looked after.

Horrific! We went on a Wednesday night , the wait times were terrible and the restaurant was no where near full! We went to order Duck Gyoza... not in stock which was fine . We ordered the flat breads for main... they arrived raw! The dough was raw and when we sent them back we were told well we'd have to wait a long time for another dish... like it was our fault? Then when we went to pay the bill we were informed the flatbreads were removed and charged for the replacement meals... they made a very big deal like this was a favour to us? Very strange. Service was terrible and honestly it was embarrassing to take our business clients here.

I visited just after a football match. The Karbon Grill was rammed with other diners who'd had the same idea. Although busy, service was swift and smiley. The food was tasty and well presented, and portions large. A starter of bread, olives and houmous was easily big enough to share.The Karbon Grill majors on steak, and appears to do it well. My partner chose a rare sirloin steak, which was served bloodied and tender, as it should be. I went for one of the veggie options, a 5 bean chilli. The spicing was generous - if you dislike fiery chillis, you should choose something else (there are plenty of alternatives on the menu). I needed every scrap of the accompanying guacamole and sour cream to cool it down. There was no room for a pud afterwards, but I enjoyed a hot chocolate served in a tall glass mug. While we ate, footballers ordered drinks at the nearby bar, seeming unfazed and flattered when starstruck diners accosted them for autographs.All in all, it was a very pleasant experience in an upscale steakhouse, and I would definitely return.

My husband noticed the offer of afternoon tea at £10. We rang and booked for a hours time. We then rang to say friends would be joining us, this wasn't a problem at all. Staff were helpful and chatty. It did not take long before the afternoon tea arrived on a unusual stand. Fresh sandwiches, Warm scone and four small cakes. All was delicious except the scone, extremely dry. Unlimited tea and coffee. Nice touch was that there was a vegetarian trifle in a shot glass. Nothing was left to take home.

We visited the carbon grill not long after the Sunday lunches were launched and the first time we visited did not have the best experience. They very kindly asked us to return following our bad experience/feedback and have to say they certainly regained themselves. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to try it again. The carvery had a good selection of meat, the staff and the chef were very friendly and the restaurant manager couldn't do enough to ensure everything was put right. We had the 3 course meal and were not disappointed. Good choice of veg, hot and re-filled often. Parking is free and just across the road with easy level access, the restaurant is clean, modern and has nice décor - the image of what a restaurant should be when connected with the Hilton. For starters I had pate, which presentation was great, pate delicious and would recommend, mains we all had carvery and then for dessert the cheese cake again was very nice. There is nothing worse than having a bad experience but it's also nice when they give you the chance to correct the things that have gone wrong also. On this basis I would recommend and return. Nice food & Good service when it runs smoothly.

Visited Karbon Grill with my wife for a birthday meal. Place was fairly quiet so plenty of staff. Food was nice but had poor service from staff throughout. Had my drink spilt slightly by waiter but didn’t bother coming back to wipe it up so had to use my napkin. Was given desert menu but after waiting 20 minutes nobody bothered coming back to take order. Staff seemed more interested in setting tables for breakfast. Decided not to have desert having waited so long so asked for bill. Waited another 20 minutes without anybody coming to take payment so had to go to bar to pay in the end. My wife also overheard waiting staff complaining that there was a table of 9 due in - most places would be grateful for the business. Would have gone here again in future if it wasn’t for the poor service

It was ok. It was nothing special. I had the Thai chicken for starters which was nice enough. Very small portion for the price. For mains I had a steak. The choice was very limited tho as they didn’t have a lot of the cuts available that were stated on the menu. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium and this was cooked well. It was just a cheap cut so this meant it was quite tough. It took quite a long time for the dinner to arrive. For a business dinner by myself, where you just want to be in and out, I was there for about an hour and a half! Wouldn’t visit again for a personal visit although business may not have a choice!

I had a Beef Karbon (burger) with fries and coleslaw which were very nice, however I found the burger was 'over charred' and tasted burnt but very tasty inside.

Came for an evening meal on Sunday 19th Aug for a 40th birthday celebration. Food was ok but the service from staff was appalling- they seemed under staffed - very slow service!! our order was missing items, had to ask twice for plates to be cleaned away after sitting waiting ages - asked staff prior to bring out a birthday cake after main courses however this didn’t happen so had to ask again 3 times before it eventually came out which spoilt the birthday surprise! Staff made more effort with a large coach trip of OAPs who appeared to have a self serve carvery included in there stay - which made it feel more like a canteen than a restaurant. Rang to complain to restaurant manager after as I didn’t want to upset the birthday girl anymore on the night - they promised me a call back however still awaiting this - I doubt I’ll hear back from them! Finally they then tried to bill me for the missing items despite me telling to ensure they weren’t put on the bill after not coming out... will defo never come back here again for a meal - disappointing for a Hilton hotel

I visited here today for my Mam’s 50th birthday, using the itison voucher that gave afternoon tea for two for £11 instead of £25. We arrived today for our booked time and were seated in a quiet corner. We were offered a hot drink and I was allowed to have a hot chocolate as I didn’t drink tea or coffee. These were just average machine drinks in tea cups and didn’t even come with cream for the hot chocolate (it was free refills though). I’d made sure I had ordered a halal afternoon tea when I booked and I double checked this when I arrived. When it arrived I noticed that it had ham sandwiches. I asked a member of staff as it didn’t look halal and I was sure it was ham. He confirmed that it was halal. Not convinced, I asked another member of staff who then said it was ham and went to get it changed. We did receive apologies from her and another member of staff but we weren’t too happy about the confusion. When we got ours in the end, the sandwich options were cheese and pickle, egg, and chicken mayonnaise. They were all thickly spread with margarine (which was not nice), you couldn’t even see the egg as it was that thin in the sandwich, and all the bread was dry. The scone was sugarless and dry, and you had to share the single pots of jam and clotted cream. The cakes were nice and these included a custard pot with berry compote, a chocolate brownie, and a small slice of raspberry and lemon cake. Overall, an average afternoon tea which although ok for the offer price, is not worth full price. I’ve had a lot better in cafes.

Booked afternoon tea for 4. It was of a poor standard (even compared to a local café) Very disappointed with the lack of customer service skills from the staff, seemed very inflexible to suit the needs of my teenager daughter and her friend. The teenagers were given less sandwiches than the adults - even though they had paid the same amount and staff would not rectify - stated I would have to buy a full plate of sandwiches costing £7 nearly (only wanted 2 small triangles - plain ham). Will not be returning. Very disappointing experience.

We needed to park outside the entrance as one of our party is a wheelchair user but the hotel does not appear to have such designated parking which should be addressed. We were told that we could stay there for the duration of our meal. At the restaurant, we waited a while to be greeted, then seated, then further delays ensued. Not a good start. Menu was limited but adequate. Food arrived after a short wait. The burgers did not look as appetising as in the photos. Half the dry bun was covered by a lettuce leaf and one slice of tomato. Come on Chef,this is really poor presentation. I liked my veggie burger overall but felt the hummus/avocado base should have been a bigger portion. The 2 members of staff that attended to us were friendly; however, the food let the Hilton name down. On paying, I gave an average verdict to the staff member and doubt that the Karbon Grill will receive my custom again.

Our daughter took us there for a recent celebration. Staff very attentive and friendly. Restaurant not too busy so staff had time for everyone. There was an a la carte menu and also a 2 courses for £10 which my daughter and I chose from. The waiter arrived with a bottle of water and tomato focaccia while we ordered - neither of which were charged for, which was a pleasant surprise. The wine, a merlot, was lovely and under £20. Linen napkins, huge wine glasses and tables not too close together - all in all, a lovely setting and a lovely evening. Will definitely return. Plenty of parking too.

My husband and I visited tonight. Booked for 5pm. When we arrived the restaurant has just opened for evening service and no one was behind the bar, in fact there were no staff around. We only waited a few minutes (felt much longer) but we were warmly greeted and shown to our seat.

Excellent food but service was a bit erratic, we ordered drinks, a bottle of wine and some glasses of lemonade to make spritzers. The wine turn up quite promptly but we had to ask again for the lemonade.

Discreetly lit the Karbon Grill restaurant of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel was most relaxing. Nicely set table and smartly dressed guests was rather a change from what seems the norm nowadays. We started to enjoy the holiday feel.

Excellent breakfast, plenty of choice, buffet style though you can order to taste if you wish. Not vast amounts of piled up food put out at once as some buffets, small amounts regularly re-stocked so it look much better. Usual english and continental fare but better that usual quality. Dinner menu is fine, ample choice, quality much better than usual hotel fare and service and friendliness of staff was excellent.

Our family of four dined here recently and it was quite enjoyable. Three of us had burgers and the other had a (massive) hot dog. Portion sizes were good and the burgers mostly enjoyable, the only negative was the person with the plain cheeseburger said it was dry. The other 2 choices from the menu that came with many other items were pretty good.

We were staying in the hotel and had a quick meal in the bar before heading out. Really tasty burgers and massive portion of nachos which my daughter couldn't finish! Prices were really reasonable for a hotel meal. Would def use again if we were back.

Visited before going to an event at the SOL. We were there early so the restaurant was really quite which was nice. We were seated and brought water and a basket of breads. As it was before 7 we were given a choice of the normal menu and the early bird menu which was a lot cheaper than the normal menu.

Had a very nice Sunday lunch here. Portion size was just enough. This was very reasonably priced for 2 courses around £25 for 2 people. Only thing missing was roasted root vegetables.

Are here recently when staying in the hotel. Very modern and friendly staff. The starter was very tasty and the fish fish of the day was pleasant although the veg were cold. British style and if you like steak or burger all the better. They do have lighter meals salads , pasta dishes etc as well

I guess this would have been so much better if the restaurant had been busier - but I guess that's just how things go sometimes

Dinner - average. Lots of dishes were absent. Breakfast average but didn't stop some massive neighbours' plates and removal of stocks for later. No black pudding

I had in my mind another dull hotel restaurant - but no, the food here is really very good. Have eaten here several times and never disappointed - it's top quality, varied, tasty and great value. Recommended.

Eat here whilst staying in the hotel, the food was good and very reasonably priced. Where I'm from the bill would have easily been double the price and probably not as good quality. The staff were all friendly and attentive.

The charming little village is home to a delightful pub that offers both indoor and outdoor seating areas, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The staff at the establishment were exceptionally welcoming and friendly, ensuring that we felt at ease and well-catered for throughout our visit. The food presentation was impressive, and the taste was equally remarkable. The chips, in particular, stood out as exceptionally delicious. The availability of Staropramen on tap was an added bonus, enhancing the overall dining experience. We look forward to returning to this establishment in the future and sampling more of their delectable menu offerings.
