Excellent food, (mussels/baked Camembert to start. Shared a tomahawk steak for me main. Crumble/sticky toffee pudding for dessert). Excellent service from our server Alexandria. We used vouchers from our anniversary which made for a great all round night.

Absolutely disgraceful meal very disappointed! I don’t mind the price but the food is too low quality taste like ms express food the bread look like the £1 bag of bread to be honest street food is far more better the food serve in this restaurant. If I can give lower than 1 star I would. Service was good atmosphere ok. Food -0

Visited the Marco Pierre White at the Crowne Plaza hotel whilst we stayed. TLDR: Had a most excellent visit aside from a few very minor issues. The food was excellent and in abundance. I was very happy with the scotch egg dish as well as the enormous onion rings (although lacking a lot of flavour). I also had the Gratin Dauphinois which was a highlight. The rest of my table thoroughly enjoyed their dishes (steaks and a fish dish). It did take a little while to arrive but we expected this may be due to some of the dietary requirements. We also sometimes struggled to get the attention of the waiting staff to make requests or enquiries and on one request we didn't get the item we asked for but these were very minor issues. Overall an excellent experience and would recommend highly. Thank you once again to the patient manager and staff for a memorable experience.

I would like to start this review with saying how kind, Friendly and hard working the waiting staff are at this restaurant, but unfortunately that's where the good points end. The restaurant was lovely with amazing views and so we ordered our food. I chose the Tiffin curry , I was excited to try it with the promise of fresh mango and ginger , it sounded amazing. The curry arrived at the table - what a let down, sat on my plate was a small ramekin of rice and a small bowl of what looked like chip shop curry sauce! I was so dissapointed, there was no garnish, no nan bread , not even a pot of mango chutney - this was Marco Pierre White , I had imagined all sorts of special touches/extras but nothing! The curry was bland and was the quality and look of a Chinese take away curry, I was so dissapointed, it certainly hadn't seen and fresh mango or ginger! My daughter ordered the fish & chips, the fish was just a grey mush in batter, there was no lovely flakey pieces like you would have expected for the price, just awful low grade fish! We have had nicer fish from the chip shop! My husband had steak , he said it was cooked ok but there was quite a bit of gristle running through it and nowhere near as nice as the steak he had in the restaurant Miller & Carter the night before. Whilst we were in the restaurant we witnessed 3 other customers send their steaks back to the kitchen as they were overcooked and tough. A girl on the table oppisite us was sawing with her knife desperately trying to cut her steak, eventually when she got a piece into her mouth , she spat it back out, because she couldn't even chew it. Our experience of this restaurant was really bad, it was such a shame because we had lovely staff, beautiful views but very over priced low grade food, quite honestly Marco Pierre White should be embarrassed to have his name associated with such poor food and for the prices the restaurant charges there needs to be a serious shake up in the kitchen department on providing a higher standard of quality food!! I would definitely not return or recommend.

There is no alternative to dairy on their starters, as apparently all their food is pre prepared.... Their goats cheese is apparently cheaper than their bacon..... A swap goes against their allergen policy.... And it would be creating a new menu.... at least this was the four different excuses I was given as to why they could not accommodate my allergy that they so neatly have cards printed for..... Swapping butter for olive oil in the spinach side is fine though 🙄 Well at least that's what they told me this time round... Last time however nothing was two much trouble.... But then the head chef wasn't in, so clearly whoever was offering great customer service on that previous occasion was obviously breaking the rules. Shame as Christian the waiter was consistently good on both occasions and the food was nice the first time. This time didn't get to eat, whilst waiting for the many stages of in situ complaint restaurant manager, hotel manager etc (hence the many different excuses) I was then pressured into we only have one of the dishes I wanted left (Still early evening) I can only assume in an effort to shut me up. If I wanted to eat at a pre proportioned restaurant where every meal carefully matches the till, I would have gone to a Harvester. And had more choice.... Meat and salad are never a problem there at least. Oh and to add insult to injury, a complaint online after the fact takes two week for the same manager, Shauna I believe, to eventually respond to say sorry you were disappointed and we do not recall not being able to swap the spinach, well that as I said above is because you can make swaps but only if your head chef feels like allowing a customer to create a suitable alternative dish. Next time please actually read my written complaint. Pretty sure their website states a quicker response required, and Marco must be so proud of the extended attention to detail. This restaurant plays on a good chefs name and decent view it seems. But if you have allergies or food requirements so many better places to eat. Disappointing 😕

Beautiful view and lovely staff but unfortunately the food was a dried up tasteless sandwich and chips! How can anyone get a club sandwich so wrong?

Extremely disappointing service and food. Save your money and go-elsewhere. Acclaimed 3 star Michelin chef Marco Pierre White! How exciting to be visiting one of his restaurants for afternoon tea!! Even at the eye watering 20 pounds a head it was worth trying. Well, nothing had been baked freshly. It looked like cheap packet goods were used. The scones were small and hard, sandwiches tasteless with zero fillings and the cakes were dry and uninviting. The two service staff were unhelpful, complained that they had to “make it all myself” (coffee), even an order for earl grey tea was a bit much to accommodate. The words ‘Indulgent, luxurious, charming, freshly baked and delicious’ were on the website, well NO, NO, NO, NO AND NO.

Second course of just cheese and creme brulee another 40 minutes! Total of 2 hours for 2 courses. MD was impersonal and very brief. Not a good experience. Overrated and not a service experience. Stay away - it's not worth the wait!

Disappointing….very slow service with inattentive and slightly rude staff. Shown to table and waited for 20 minutes before a drink order was taken. Noticed other tables had similar wait time too. Food ok except for 12oz fillet steak that was over seasoned (way too salty) should have complained and sent it back but that’s not our style. Won’t eat here again even if we stay at the Crown Plaza again.

Quite possibly the worst meal I've had in a long time, and definitely not cheap. Ordered the chicken forestiere. Chicken ok but tiny portion, instead I had a plate full of frozen spinach and what I suspect was also frozen not fresh mushrooms. It was supposed to be served with confit potatoes but there was only one slice of potato and just a huge mass of chopped frozen spinach. The spinach and mushrooms were warm but absolutely not fresh. I ended up eating the chicken but leaving the veg as it was inedible. Ordered a sticky toffee pudding which was ok but I suspect had not been cooked fresh either. I can't believe that for the price of eating at this place that the chefs can't serve freshly cooked food. Will never eat here again. I might as well have eaten at wetherspoons if I'm going to be served reheated food!

Very average food not what you would expect from MPW. Food ok if you haven't got a good allergy or intolerance. There were Coeliac's dining also and the choice and availability was very limited. Very good card system showing the person's food intolerance. Over-priced for what you got, seemed more like prepared, shipped in food than fresh chef prepared, more like up market pub chain food. Nice friendly staff. Would I recommend it no not really.

Food we had Scotch Egg: cooked fresh and was delicious Tart of mushrooms (special) : delicious but could do with more sauce but personal preference Mains Lamb: Cooked perfectly pink - small downside was 2 tiny potatoes but husband demolished it fast enough!

The fish was good, steamed rather than grilled and the rest of the ingredients, spinach, mushrooms and watercress not seasoned at all. As a side I had Gratin dauphinoise which was quite nice but other than that, it really did not feel like a cohesive dish. I am not one to complain about restaurants, but I had high expectations, and I was not satisfied. Probably not going to come back.

Unfortunately all the hype, all the glamour for a bland tasteless meal. The steaks were poor, tasteless and unfilling. Food overall abysmal. The service Unfortunately wasn't great. The young lady tonight was polite and well mannered however the gentleman we had as our waiter for the majority of the evening missed the mark. Yes of course he did the normal bits and pieces but he was at times away with the fairies and for some reason off with the female guests. Now the steaks came out about 5 minutes before the chips so you find yourself waiting. The drinks were overpriced. I cannot stress how bland the food was. It tastes nearly of nothing. Then the added service charge almost £40. Sorry but your arnt that high enough to charge such prices. After all the hype. We tried. We didn't like. And won't be back again. Miller and carter definitely are better and ahead of the game.

Tonight we had a table of 18. Sat before 1730, left around 2030. The people serving were attentive and obliging but there were clearly problems meeting orders, plus the quality of food was poor, with several dishes going back and many others not sending them back for fear of delay. Between servings some were waiting a good 30 or 40 minutes and that was after prompts. In fact between main and dessert we were waiting over 60 mins for the entire course. The quality of food was no where like what we have had on two previous occasions, before I would have praised this place. Genuinely a well known lower std chain would have been more consitant which is a real shame to say. Even from the start, after ordering drinks, some people were still waiting for a bottle of wine to the table after the starters were arriving - thats weird isn't it. The management of a large table was clearly a struggle, you would think moving all servers for 10 mins to blitz would have been the right thing. The cocktails were gd, that's possibly the best point I can mention. Our host spent a lot of money, well over £40 per person on food, probably more like 75 to 100 with drinks, not worth it by any means.

Great location, very attentive and polite staff. We'd visit more often if it were closer.

When we arrived there is a main menu up outside the restaurant with a good variety of choices. However we were given a new lunchtime menu which had just been introduced and had a number of choices were missing and NOT on the website. We found it hard to choose something and this was somewhat disappointing. Overall the food was ok but for those prices, we expected something outstanding! On a good note Darcey the waitress was lovely and attentive. I’ve attached both menus

We enjoyed a very nice Afternoon Tea today. Food and service were fantastic. Only down side is that they have gone cashless and would not accept cash. I do not support a cashless society but it was a good experience none the less.

The service from staff was great and they were helpful and lovely, however, we were in the restaurant for 3 hours total as it took such a long time for the food to come out.. even though we'd pre ordered. The food was ok but pretty standard, I'd compare it to basic pub food. And for those prices, we expected something outstanding!

Appalling! One of our party of four is vegetarian and allergic to red peppers. It appears there is red pepper in the cooking oil so he could have nothing except a salad (on a December evening)! He was prepared to settle for a mushroom omelette but the chef refused to make it!! The other staff were great and completely mortified but could do nothing. Go elsewhere.

Fab venue with great views. Staff were great - friendly and efficient. A couple of us found our steaks were a bit overcooked so would ask for less cooking time next time. Wouldn't put me off coming back. Loved it!

Stayed at the crowne plaza November 2023 for my partners birthday and because we had plans in Plymouth the next day. Arrived and check in and found the menu for the Marco Pierre White restaurant offering room service so thought be nice to enjoy from the comfort of our own room while looking out over the city. This was a Sunday afternoon around 4pm so didn't think would be too busy and sure enough the food arrived to us within half an hour. All can say is what arrived was honestly the worst meal me and my partner have ever had. The lamb was so tough and full of gristle it was literally inedible. Hard uncooked potatoes and cold green beans covered in a gravy that was swimming in melted butter. My partner had the burger and chips and said the bun was stale and the beef patty completely tasteless and not seasoned at all. And to be honest I thought it looked like something you'd of gotten off a burger van somewhere. The desserts were ok but nothing special at all and just tasted like any standard dessert you'd buy from a local supermarket. 2 mains and 2 dessert came in at £75 which I wouldn't mind paying anywhere for good quality and decent food but this was just an absolute joke considering it is supposed to be owned by a celebrity award winning chef. If I had of been sat in the restaurant I would of sent it straight back but seeing as my partner didn't want any fuss being her birthday and just wanted to get ready and for us to go and use the pool and spa I decided to bite my tongue and let it go. I never ever leave bad reviews but it was truly diabolical what they sent out from that kitchen and I think the crowne plaza should maybe review which restaurants they want to be associated with.
