I had the Haddock and chips, well the menu says chips but I got fries. FRIES AND CHIPS ARE NOT THE SAME THING. The Haddock was really nice and a good size the non chips (fries) was tiny barely a mouthful. You get more fries in a Macdonalds happy meal. Every meal with fries was the same. You need to realise you're just a pub and are not a Michelin restaurant and normal people want proper adult sized portions especially considering the price. I would not choose to go there again (not my choice this time. I had to go to a takeaway after I left as I was still hungry. Poor very poor.

The food took nearly 40 minutes to arrive in an low occupancy restaurant. Not the best service as it was hard to get anyone's attention and the extremely overcooked tiny jacket potato with a stick of butter was extortionate! The childs menu isnt good either. Such a shame as I heard it was a good place to eat. £80 worth of disappointment 😞

We had a very pleasant meal even though the service was very slow, staff were polite. Very nice atmosphere even though there was a very loud man in the bar. I asked a man who I assume was the manager that there was no soap in the ladies toilet he said he would deal with it but when I was leaving both soap dispensers were still empty so I had to use the disabled toilet. A mocca was ordered and we were charged for a Hot Chocolate and an Americano which came to £5.50, if we had known it would be this price we would not have ordered it, we queried it and were told we should have looked at the menu, there was no Mocca mentioned so we should have been informed.

Terrible experience, to be avoided at all costs. Hotel guest arrived before 7.30 pm, not pre-booked, car park was half empty, tables were half empty, asked at the bar for a table for six, and astonished to hear they could not cope with a table for six, disgusting, lame excuse that tables were booked, clearly a lie and staff wanting to finish early. Absolute disgrace, drove 5 minutes away to copperbeach where we were welcomed, a busier restaurant and happy to accept quests after 7.30. A long while since I've been treated like this and will not be forgotten.

Good if you want unhealthy food, I didn't, I went with my mother so the only option was a basic salad and pay extra for a small piece of chicken or beef. Food was okay and cooked as asked for. I won't go again because there wasn't enough healthy options. But saying that if you like chips and burgers etc this might be okay for you.

Most of the food was served cold. What arrived was not as advertised or as ordered. Vegetables were ordered but not initially served. When they eventually arrived they were still frozen! Exceptionally small portions (6 Chips) and utterly shocking. The staff were friendly enough but knew how bad things were and how bad the food was. Do not even contemplate visiting this place under any circumstances. It is the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting.

Buffet breakfast Saturday morning was average. Bit of a pain as you have to order your hot food but you can help yourself from the continental stuff. The building itself self is in a real state of needing repairs or just some paint. The car parks hedges are so overgrown too! A bit of care would make it more appealing to the eye.

Modern clean restaurant and bar. Service was friendly but not very quick. OK, for a relaxing meal, but not if you are on the clock. The latest menu appears even more restricted, and prices have increased. There is a cheap deal for 2 meals, which looks good value. See the back page of the menu booklet for details. We were disappointed by the Sunday roast; however, our waitress was very good and resolved the issue. The very limited menu and high prices mean I would only recommend using this restaurant on work days when the meal deals are available.

The food was very poor (think really badly done Wetherspoons dishes) and the decor was old and tired, with the chairs seemingly wobbly and gradually falling apart, everything else looked a bit like it needed replacement about ten years ago. That said the staff were broadly friendly to customers, although a staff meeting was seemingly going on in a closed off bit of the restaurant at the time - morale did not seem high!

We was sat down then waited 30 minutes before seeing a waitress for our orders, I appreciate it was busy but its still ridiculous. The food was ok, sausages were quite pale and not cooked enough for our liking but everything else was OK tho. No orange juice on the day so had to settle for apple. And the food took an eternity to come out, we was there for over 2 hours just to have breakfast. Is this a normal experience here? If it is I doubt we'll be going back which is a shame as my parents like a table table breakfast.

What a lovely manager. It was close to shutting as I pulled in to sort out my baby from crying on my way home to Essex. The manager even though closed invited me and my baby in so I could feed him and offered me tea. Thanks to her I had a happy baby who slept the rest of the hour journey home.
