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.

Ideal if you're visiting the showground (opposite), it has a Premier Inn attached. Food is OK and when we last visited it was very busy so the service was very slow. As I said it's OK but the decor is very tired and the whole site could seriously do with a refurb.

Great all you can eat breakfast offering continental, cereals, cooked breakfast and a large selection of drinks. Service can be a little slow but you have plenty of time to help yourself to the continental stuff so it’s not too bad. Plus up to two children eat free with a paying adult so what’s not to love

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. Staff were polite and welcoming.

Not bad food, and staff good, but as other reviews suggest in desperate need of a revamp. Carpet was really sticky and worn out, tables sticky, walls covered in years of food stains. It just needs a good paint and some new flooring and it would be 1000 times better.

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.

We ate here on a Saturday evening and again for breakfast on the Sunday morning. Whist our food was okay on the Saturday. It was lookwarm and not particularly amazing. But the breakfast on the Sunday was an absolute shambles. We sat down and waited 35 minutes for someone to take our cooked food order. We spoke to a staff member politley twice and told to wait our turn. However they has forgotten us. Ended up just having toast as we did not have time to wait longer. Will not be back.

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.

We had a lovely meal with friends and the food was great, the server was patient, polite and helpful. He and the kitchen cheerfully made minor menu changes to vegetables. The widow frames have all been changed recently, so look very smart, but curtains, chairs and tables are ready for refurbishment. This did not detract from our overall pleasure though.

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. That kindness I will never forget and now we plan to go in every time we make the journey now to see the parents. 10000/10

Went for Sunday Lunch Waiter spilt one of our drinks across the table on serving, mopped it up but didn't top it up. The Roast Pork was tough and inedible, very fatty and couldn't cut the meat with the knife let alone chew it. Response from staff on both situations " oh sorry about " Very Poor food and service!
