Went to the Gutenberg for Lunch. Server was great, friendly and helpful. I ordered the Burger with Bacon and cheese. Burger came, and looked fantastic, until I cut into the Burger. The Burget was completely raw and cold inside. It was uneadable. I complained to the waitress, who was very apologetic, and offered me to change food straight away. By this time, I was put of my meal, but tried an alternative dish. The restaurant was not busy, infact we were the only customers in the dining room. Very disappointed and won't be back!

The servers were lovely and friendly, but we ordered from the lunch menu and found the food to be quite poor. The cheese bites were over cooked and the tagliatelle carbonara was absolutely tasteless. Some of us had ordered burgers, but were told they had run out. The desserts were good. We could have sent the food back, but there was only one chef on and we had already waited over an hour before we could order (again, servers were lovely and were obviously doing their best). We had really looked forward to lunch as it was a family meal while we were on holiday, and the reviews we had seen were excellent. Maybe the food from the main menu would have been nicer but as we were only visiting the area, I couldn’t say.

Finally made a visit here with a very picky friend after loads of people told us to try it. Received a very warm welcome and some hot tea - much needed with all the rain! - whilst we went through the menu. Have to say the service was exceptional and attentive. They have a varied menu including traditional pub classics which they do well. Our waiter knew the food and bar offering, or would find out, and made good recommendations. Would be our first local choice now. Beautiful bar setting but the light wood panelled dining room reminded me of Eltham Palace's art deco style. Simply loved it.

We were passing through the area and had a lovely, very reasonably priced three course lunch here. The restaurant area was busy on a Monday which is always a good sign and well behaved dogs are welcomed. The home cooked food was very tasty, every course was well cooked, well presented and piping hot. The restaurant area, bar and toilets were spotless and the hospitality was second to none. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, a really good team. Thanks for a great meal. We’d highly recommend a visit and next time we’re passing, we’ll be back.

I had the extremely good luck of booking a special birthday dinner for my wife, now 75! and family. From the day I booked, Clair and her staff have been extremely helpful and last night, the dinner was absolutely fantastic. Great service from respectful and friendly staff. Our dinner went well and my wife had an absolute ball. The food was excellent and delicious from a varied and thoughtful menu. I will most definitely be back again and I thoroughly recommend it to you. p.s. Best steak pie I've ever eaten!

It's very easy to overeat here. Portions are not small. I recommend starting with a main and seeing if you have room for a starter once you've finished it. I had the lasagne and two pints, and simply could not have had anything else. I stopped at the half-way point on my cycle along the coast, and barely made 5mph on my way back. While I might not be ready for the Tour de France just at this point, I don't think those riders typically stop for such a delightful-yet-unreasonable amount of stodge. I will definitely be repeating this experience.

I recently dined at The Prestongrange Gothenburg and the food and service were both good. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were attentive and friendly. I ordered the Highlander Sizzler, the ribeye steak and haggis fritters were delicious and was only let down by the poor amount of frozen skin on fries. The meat was cooked to perfection and was full of flavor, and the sizzling platter added a nice touch to the presentation. The portion size was fine apart from the pitiful amount of fries. However, while the quality of the food and service were great, I couldn't help but feel that the pricing was a bit too high. Although the dish was delicious and satisfying, I have previously worked in the restaurant business and I feel that while my meal was priced relatively fair to a little high, other items on the menu were very over priced for what they entail. Overall, I would highly recommend The Prestongrange Gothenburg for their excellent food and service, but I would caution potential diners about the high prices for the area.

Went for dinner with family expectations of sitting in the newly furbished restaurant to end up sitting downstairs in the same old run down room with tatty table mats. Couldn't hear each other talking thanks to noise from the bar then to make it worse they had a singer booked who wasn't exactly great all songs sounded the same. Food was slow garlic bread was still chilled on the bottom clearly just grilled on the top. Both steaks were cooked wrong.( med rare sent out well done when arrived) Just not the nice relaxing atmosphere we were hoping for probably won't be back.

A lunch time meal at a local pub. The menu was small but covered a nice range of options. We opted for fish and chips with a pot of tea. The meals were delicious and the batter on the fish was crispy and light. The portions were also plentiful. There is also a children's menu and our granddaughter had a decent sized meal.The drinks prices were also great value for such a large selection. The service from Kirstie was friendly, professional and helpful. It was not over busy and the beer garden had customers enjoying the food and lovely weather. All in a very good experience that I would recommend.

Have been meaning to go to this pub and microbrewery for ages and last night we did. Their current beer that’s brewed just behind the bar area was amazing- it tasted of oranges- it was lovely. Good price too. Friendly barman and it’s just opposite the sea. What’s not to like?

Was in the establishment last night. Very accommodating about changing times and number of people in the booking. However upon arrival no-one to greet us. Had to wait ages to order drinks and food. The Sangria was good. Food arrived nothing to rave about, starters ok, next course diabolical. The Paella was more like a thick stew, rather than a rice dish, mussels took ages to come and had no flavour, Pisto ok. Person who had the dessert said not nice apart from the ice cream. Music was the best thing of the night There was no-one about to really say anything to. As the team seemed to concentrate on the bar. Coming from a hospitality background there should be someone visible in the dining area, in not continuous but back and forth regularly. Seemed that the establishment could not cope with the bar and dining area at the same time.

Went for friends birthday. At first guy servicing was very nice, can’t fault the food it was lovely so well done chef. Unfortunately went downhill after that. Service was atrocious. No one came near to ask if we wanted anything else, we were just left to it! We had to keep getting up going through to bar asking for drinks. We really could have walked out without paying as no one was bothered! We gave up in the end and had to go through to the bar and ask for the bill. It was brought to us but never asked if we enjoyed. We left the exact amount no tip! You only leave a tip if good service! It was a Thursday night and very quiet so not like they had an excuse as rushed off feet!

Large room on 1st floor. Great for dogs. Staff are excellent friendly and helpful. Great location not far from the beach or the town. Food in restaurant is excellent. Enjoyed the breakfast and main meals. Will be back later in the year. 11/24 Now our third visit. The quality hasn't dropped. Staff still excellent and so friendly. Food is still top notch. Sunday roast was beautiful. The room is comfortable and warm. Doggies love their sausage in the morning. Love the service of filling out your breakfast requirements the night before. Good choice as well.

My wife and I went early Saturday evening for an anniversary dinner. The starters were excellent, but then the main courses arrived. My wife had the Sea Bass, expecting a reasonable sized piece of fish, she received a few thin pieces of tail end the skin was very rubbery. The accompanying, what she thought was something aubergine based vegetables,didn't look appetising at all, in fact it had a resemblance to something a dog had regurgitated. I had the Beef and Bone Marrow burger. This at the start was a very tasty burger albeit, with the dressings rather oily, until I got to the last mouth full, which appeared to be more marrow than beef, which I had to remove from my mouth rather quickly. At this point I decided against a dessert, I had one from our freezer when I got home. We had passed The Winton many times and had said we must try it. We had returned from an Holiday the day before and with it being our anniversary I thought we would go rather than cook at home. I am sorry I did now. To be honest I found The Winton to be slightly overpriced but under average food quality when compared to other restaurants in the surrounding area. Very unlikely we would return.
