Sunday Roast Day . Well appalling really because we had a great table , with a great view and the table service wasn’t too bad I suppose. The food was shocking - tiny amount of gravy for nearly £20 each , absolutely no flavour , everything was completely bland. For the price it was terrible . If it was £10-£12 each I probably wouldn’t be writing this but for nearly £20 each just for the food without a drink is terrible . The chef really needs to sit down and taste his food , potato’s specifically Absolute crap the best part of the dinner as well the thing everyone looks forward to . Should be better. Would avoid as go somewhere cheaper for a much better experience. Table service like I said wasn’t too bad . But I did have to ask 3 times for the bill which eventually came .

The food was lovely, the setting was nice and the restaurant was clean. However the service was none existent - we were seated and received our meals in good time, however we sat with empty plates in front of us for 30 mins. I had to ask for a dessert menu, which we were given but plates were still not cleared for 10 minutes after that. I also then had to ask for our dessert orders to be taken. No one came to clear our plates again so I had to go to the bar for the bill. No one checked if we needed drinks throughout our visit so we had to go to the bar ourselves even though when we were seated we were told it was table service. We would have liked a craft beer option to be available on draught as an alternative to lager/ales.

Received the steak pie meal with "honey glazed carrots". It was one carrot boiled in water and cut in half. I told the waitress I thought the menu says honey glazed? The carrot was rock hard not even cooked through. She took the plate without saying anything, and later returned and they had sprinkled some pepper on the carrot and call that honey glazed. Not worth £15 at all. No apology, quite rude in her approach. No waiting staff either, so you will be waiting 20 minutes in a queue at the bar to order your food.

We have visited here 4 or 5 times. Each time the food has been excellent, fresh, hot & tasty & decent beers too. Unfortunately I do have to give negative feedback on some aspects: I appreciate the staff are busy, however, there were many tables full of used dirty plates, cutlery, glasses, bottles, crisp packets etc and they were not cleared in the 1.5 hours we spent in the bar area. We came in on both Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd March & experienced the same issues for the full visit. People were looking for a place to sit but the tables weren’t cleared. Both days saw tables full of used dishes/glasses uncleared. I requested napkins, member of staff answered yes but didn’t bring any. There were used napkins on the floor in front of the bar & all staff just walked over them without picking them up. I myself cleared the glasses etc to the end of the bar & cleaned the table with antibacterial wipes I carry with us to enable us to sit & eat. This has left me reluctant to visit again but I do love Shardlow. Please ensure staff are trained to clear tables or indeed employ more staff as this has left a really bitter taste on what should be a pleasant experience.

Whilst the food here is very nice, the service certainly could do with some improvements. We attended on a Saturday night and granted it was busy, however the service slightly dampened the overall experience. Initially when we were seated our drinks order was taken, which was convenient, however we waited 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. The water for the table we requested was also missing. When it came to ordering food it was a bit confusing. A lot of signs indicate to use the online ordering - trying to use the online order app was a nightmare and it crashed twice deleting the order. We gave up and when to the till to order, whilst we were doing that someone then came to the table to take the order but we never got told they’d come to take the order. Clarification could be made with people when seating as to how they need to order. And when ordering at the till unfortunately there were a few meal options unavailable - but thats not always controllable so understandable. The starters came out extremely quickly which was nice, and the mains followed about 20 minutes after. Once arrived we were missing a side however no one checked back with the table and the wait at the bar whilst people were off doing other things was a general put off to trying to resolve this. No one came to see if we wanted any other drinks throughout the meal either. The food was great, and it’s a shame the service couldn’t quite meet the same standard on this occasion.

Three of our group wanted the lemon tart to be told 'because of the change in menu etc etc offered lemon meringue. Well no merange, aweful squinty cream and nearly £8. Aweful!

Very disappointed. The decor and building look amazing but the customer service, quality of food and pricing were just not what you’d want from a place like this. After waiting five minutes to be seated for a table we had booked, we purchased two drinks. £13.10 for two pints is extortionate. I ordered a medium Ribeye Steak, which came out well done. I sent it back and didn’t get another for over 20 minutes. My girlfriend had finished her meal by the time it had come. No one offered me a drink whilst we waited and I had my empty glass on my table. The first person we alerted to the wrongly cooked steak didn’t even apologise. Even with a voucher and some money knocked off my bill, it still came to £30 for two meals and two drinks and for the quality, it wasn’t worth it. Sadly, cannot see us returning.

Another lovely meal. Our 3rd visit in as many weeks. My wife is on crutches and my request for a suitable table was catered for. A lovely corner spot in the dining area. Tonight we were served by Carolynne and Ashton who gave fantastic and friendly service from start to finish. The dining area was very busy and both worked amazingly hard to meet customers needs. Drinks and food was served after only a small wait. Tonight we both had the chicken and mushroom pie which was of an excellent standard. Love this place and wish all the team a prosperous and busy year. It's also an amazing place to photograph.

I had pan fried seabass which was OK, dessert (lemon tart) was obviously brought in and freezing cold.

Food was delicious, but the service was horrific. When we first arrived the bloke said to wait at the front and he'd be back, 10 minute's later he came back, but in that time we'd sat at a table with the help of a lady in blonde. During the meal, we asked for some more gravy from the same guy and again he disappeared for some time. He returned once we'd spoken to a blonde lady and said our dinners are now cold. The guy did appologise and offered to warm our meals up in the microwave. The atmosphere is very chilled, and lovely decor. They have a big car park and are dog friendly, but we are overly disappointed with our trip, considering how much meals cost. I know this post may sound like I'm a nagging Karen, but the food is not cheap and we do expect the basics such as service and being asked how our food is, to be met. I'm sad to say we won't be returning.

Great venue for lovely occasions, in our case pre Christmas family dinner and it was lovely. 3 course joy that started with breaded mushrooms , steak and ale pie with all the trimmings and cheesecake. Food was so good and portions a really good size. Lovely cosy setting my only concern and gripe was the prices of the drinks , taking the piss if I'm honest and what makes this place down £13 for pint of cider and larger and the cider was old mount but apart from that really enjoyed it and would love to return to try their regular menu but the price of drinks does make me hesitate slightly.

Our 3 course Christmas meal was lovely, turkey cooked perfectly, vegetables not over cooked and where flavoursome. Dessert was lovely too. This was our 1st time not cooking on Christmas day and we are so glad we chose the Clock Warehouse. All of the staff where very busy but all had a happy face and helped anyone who needed assistance. We are going to try to convince the family to join us next year. Thank you so much to all of the staff who worked Christmas day. Happy new year.

Stopped here on the way home on Sunday. Only about 12 other people in. Rushed when we were ordering. Haloumi sizzler brought out instead of Haloumi wrap. So we had to send it back, no offer to give us the price difference back. Waffle fries sent out instead of skin on fries ( said we would just keep them.) however realised they were rock hard and all stuck together. Garlic bread side and on both lasagnes was burnt and tasted of old oil with black bits stuck to it. Both lasagnes burnt underneath and covered with a 2.5 cm layer of thick cheap cheese meaning that was all you could taste. When the Haloumi wrap finally came back out the had forgotten the cheese on the chips we asked for when ordering. Stood with it at the bar for a good 5 minutes waiting for a member of staff so they could add it. In the end it was the chef that came out and took it. When it came out for the 3rd time the lettuce was all burnt and the Haloumi rock hard. They must have but it under the grill or hot lamp to melt the cheese. Daughter ended up just eating the chips which were anemic.Chicken gyros was cold ( it says on the menu free replacement if your skillet isn't sizzling) it wasn't even whispering never mind sizzling! But at this point we had given up. Partner ate the 6 tiny pieces of chicken that he managed to find swimming in juice in the bottom and a few of the chips but said it didn't taste right. Even The onion rings were burnt and when trying to cut them they pinged across the table. The only thing that was edible was our youngest daughters chicken dippers and peas as her chips were also undercooked (how do you mess up chicken nuggets, chips & peas?!) So we left hungry, nearly 70 quid down and never to return.
