We came in to work at the pub and had lunch whilst we were there, with a few coffees and finished off with a couple of pints. The service was 10/10 from all staff as always, and the piri piri skewers and large English breakfast were great - perfectly cooked, came out hot and really quickly. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice pub, nice staff, great for dogs, service in food was very slow we waited 45 minutes for a very badly cooked steak that was unchewable, very polite staff for sure and the young manager gave me a refund which was fine but I was still starving Thank you

Went for a meal today. Something as gone wrong. The food was poorly cooked. We waited an hour for the meal. No one asked if we were happy with the meal.They said it's taking a while because they had a new menu started. That was a poor excuse. It will be a while before I go back. Maybe they should have learnt how to cook by then. The price you have to pay these days they should be on the ball.

We chose The Hardwick to hold the wake on 25th February after our mother's funeral. The atmosphere was perfect, which is totally what we needed and everyone commented on how excellent the Buffet was. The staff were also excellent; nothing was too much trouble. Truly can't fault anything & can thoroughly recommend here. A big thank you to all the staff, we are eternally grateful for your kind hospitality.

We went and had lunch on a Monday afternoon. A very good meal, hot and fresh, and very tasty. I had battered mushroom, sausage and mash, and ice cream. My wife had parsnip and butter nut squash, soup, also ham egg and chips. Then sticky toffee pudding. The waitress who served us was pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed the whole experience.

Service and staff nice but for what I got for the price I'd have preferred a McDdonalds. Really feels like the trickle down of quality of product and portion control of the cost of living crisis is hitting the service industry to the point where its barely worth ordering a meal for the cuts and savings that the kitchen is trying to make on the menu items. Maybe next time just a catch up ad a drink, I'd give the food a miss.

Avoid this place if they offer you the buffet, unless you’re willing to ration it out between your party. You’ll end up with a cold reception from the staff with zero customer service skills. Food margin is high, just give a fair amount of food for the price.

We visited your pub today, to say we was disappointed is an understatement, our starter of prawns was delicious, the main meal was an absolute disgrace my self and my sister chose ham egg and chips, the plate was swimming in water from the ham so that was definately from defrosting it was also very slimey our garden peas were like little green bullets, so basically we had egg and chips for our main meal Oh and there was shell in my sisters egg, we waited 1 hour for the main course and then a further half hour for desert and this point we had a few mouthfuls and left as we was so disappointed and staff were not very helpful at all.Shall not be visiting again

Went there tonight for my birthday celebration, all tables were reserved, we found one that was not reserved and sat and ordered a meal for 4. We spent over £100 and was just about to order desserts, our friends were joining us for a bit to eat and drinks about half hour later, we were in bar section . One of the staff came over and put a board with reserved on it at 8pm, when I questioned it and asked if we could stay at table for the evening , it wasn’t reserved when we sat earlier she said no! We had to leave. I’m absolutely disgusted , we drink in there a lot all throughout the year, we left and went somewhere else, we shall not return

Just awful! We last went here several years ago and had a bad experience so vowed never to return. Unfortunately my parents decided to book here for an evening meal last night, table booked for 7:00pm to 9:00pm, they arrived at 6:45pm ordered their food and didn’t get served until……….. 10:30pm. To top it all both starters were stone cold and had to go back. They came back reheated, the main meal was edible and as an apology the Wick offered them a free pudding due to the 3.5 hour wait for cold soup and cold mushrooms. Unsurprisingly they said don’t bother and left. Not good enough! Avoid like the plague!!!!!

Ember Inns have recently changed their menu for the worst. There are very few plain food choices, e.g. Hunter's chicken is now Chicken Shintzle instead of a nice plain chicken breast. There are also no pasta dishes except for lasagne. The service is okay if not a little hap hazard by some staff. I was handed my plate of food and I commented to the server that the plate was hot (not warned that it was hot) only to have the reply of yes I know I've just carried it from the kitchen! My opinion is that this pub was so much better when it was locally owned by my neighbour (Selwyn Holden) and the food was good quality home cooked and not fast food as it is now. I live just a 5 minute walk away and I truly miss The Bell of old days with its good old fashioned pub values. Pub chains have definitely ruined good, local old school English establishments. These days it's not a place I frequent, even though it's convenient.

The stay ended before it even began. The receptionist was incredibly disconnected and acted like they were made to work by force, no helpful gestures or offers of any help. When basic requests like an extra pillow were made it seemed like we were asking for too much from them. I get customers can be tough but it’s not the sort of attitude you expect from any hotel be it 1 or 5 star. To be more specific, the female receptionist became very defensive and then played the victim when asked why their service was so poor. I get rules are rules, but almost crying over a pillow request was just too much, so I had to practically beg for the money back which was done rudely and abruptly by the hotel manager, shoving a card machine in my face and telling me to leave. Absolute joke of an establishment - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
