Verve Bar & Grill in Broxtowe

The service here was absolutely brilliant. Our server was friendly and happy, and we couldn't fault his work ethic. The food was delicious and not too badly priced.

Clean nice environment but I'm afraid the score gets pulled down by average food and terrible service.

For Fathers Day we decided to go for a meal as we're members of the leisure centre. We were served by Lisa who really looked after us. There was quite a wide range of healthy low carb options on the menu which really made a chanfe. Woukd highly recommend and will definitely be returning. You also get £10 every month to use for being a member of the gym Thanks very much it really made our day special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comí un bistec y mi esposa tenía salmón, ambas comidas estaban muy bien, pero las bebidas eran un poco caras, así que ten cuidado.

Breve visita con algunos amigos en una tarde después de ir de compras. Buena selección de bebidas frías y calientes. Volvería de nuevo agradable ambiente.

We both ordered a burger stack which was very tasty and reasonably priced. When it came to the drinks £5.25 a pint was a bit of a rip off.

Pedimos el 13 Curry de Espinacas y Patatas Dulces, vino como un tazón lleno de arroz con una cucharada pequeña de curry en el medio, se quejó al camarero que lo trajo y al que se lo llevó en vano. Tenía el mismo curry en el Village Leeds South y la porción era dos veces más grande con arroz y curry en cuencos separados.

Booked a table for 7.15 but was able to take the table half hour earlier as we were hungry. Unfortunately had to wait 45 minutes for the food as they lost our order. Was given a complimentary bottle of wine as we had to wait so long. Lovely food when it arrived.

An employee screaming down the street, asking if I'd paid for my bill.. pretty embarrassing. The staff didnt have a clue what they were doing,food was standard.

Great food and Brilliant customer service. This includes breakfast menu and staff. Will certainly look forward to returning

Very good service with al a carte or fixed menu and extensive wine list. Nice seating areas and quiet

Well thank goodness we went on the Meerkat meal deal, as if I'd paid £65 for the 4 Sunday carvery's I'd be very unhappy! Welcome and venue were fine, server was very polite. Now the food, soup was ok, warm so fine served with warm bread which was a nice touch. The starters were good, fresh fish, meats, pate bread and salad. The main course, this is where it fell down The chef carved the thinnest peices of meat, Yorkshire pudding was cooked to death, crispy to the point of solid. Stodgy balls of stuffing, cauliflower was under cooked and hard, so too were the sprouts. Looks like they rush cooking them just to get them out. Gravy was quite watery. This was finished with Sticky Toffee pudding which was obviously a tray bake which had literally no flavour and again stodgy, same with the apple crumble just no taste, perhaps the chef needs to find the spice rack! Custard was again thin. The saving Grace was the ice cream machine with toppings, and the small pots of mousse and cheesecake. This seems very critical, but it's not what you expect from a good hotel, especially when their poster says best carvery "proof is in the pudding". It's not and they really do need to step up and get it sorted, place was not full at prime time for lunch, that tells you everything! Hopefully the manager reads these reviews and will look to sort it out, I will give it a couple of months then have a return visit to see if they have changed.

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated but that is where the positives end unfortunately. The Sunday carvery was the worst I have eaten. The beef was dry and tough, the mashed potato was the consistency of rice pudding, the roast potatoes were so soggy they couldn't hold their own shape. The restaurant was dead and I am not surprised. £15 is great value for all you can eat, if the food is at least average quality, which this wasn't. Despite the restaurant being dead, everything took a long time. I understand that the cocktails come from another bar, but they were left on the side in the grill for 15 minutes before any of the staff realised they were there and bought them over.

Food was very good and so was the service, lots to choose from and massive portions would definitely recommend to eat here

We visited the village hotel verve restaurant whilst staying in the hotel for 2 nights in August. Although the look of the restaurant was good and the staff friendly and attentive we found the meal to be overpriced for the quality of food. I chose the beef stroganoff and side of Parmesan and chilli broccoli this cost £22 , there was next to no beef in the stroganoff, rice cold and broccoli not great either, my husband had the salmon skewers which were fairly small again came to £22 and although believe should have came with rice they did not. We won’t be dining here again.

Decided to stay in the hotel and ate at this restaurant. Staff really friendly and the prices were not too bad. Food was really good.... when it came. Ordered at 7.15 food came at 8pm. As we only had salmon skewer and a burger this was a bit too long, especially as the restaurant wasn't too busy. Would have got 5 stars in speedier service.

Myself and my teenage son visited today 20/05/18 at 1pm for Sunday lunch. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who saw us to our table and made polite conversation as she was seating us. We were informed our waiter would Be Lewis who would be along shortly. We sat down and Lewis arrived promptly, took our drink orders and explained the process to us letting us know the soup was sweet potato and carrot and the hot dessert was apple crumble with ice cream/custard. We went to get our starters and what a choice ! I could have filled up just on these! I had a prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, tomato and goats cheese and asked for a bowl of the soup which Shannon the manager went to fetch us as she was passing and helpfully said she would. Our starter plates were cleared away promptly by Lewis and another waitress who was equally helpful, the service here was second to none. All The staff helped each other, they were all Warm and approachable and smiley! It was a very comfortable experience. Meats were Gammon, turkey and beef and choice of veg was excellent. All the food was cooked well and hot! We both had dessert which again was delicious! Paying our bill we were wished well! We left feeling full, happy and AMAZING value for Money! £13.95 each! We will come again and would like to thank Shannon, Lewis, And the other floor staff for their exemplary service and the chefs Dom and Matt for making our Sunday awesome! Thanks all!

Ate here as part of a deal at the hotel. Two suppers - 2 courses from the set menu. Both vegetarians and neither of us wanted the main course, spinach curry. ANd that was the choice! We mentioned this to the waitress and she checked and asked if we could have the veggie burger and we could and did and it was pretty good. BUT served on a wooden plate which was obviously the plates used for the meat burgers too. Yuck, yuck yuck. If you were veggie you would understand. Meat juices soaked into the grain. Yuck. Please think again, very unpleasant and spoiled our dinner.

The staff here are excellent, very welcoming and polite.

This is a really nice , comfortable, clean, modern hotel, with gym, beauty salons, hairdressers, and swimming pool/sauna...... Really nice staff.... They have conference rooms too....

Took advantage of the £30 for 2 people two courses set menu. Faita starters were fabulous but the menu was extremely limited, even for a set menu. Rest of the food was ok.

Esta fue una gran comida como parte de nuestra oferta de hotel, pero hubiera sido demasiado caro en su propio. Camarera ofreció algunos campos extra, pero un tonto realmente. precios

Reservado para el Día del Padre a las 6 de la tarde para asados un del Día del padre. Llegamos a las 6 de la tarde me dijeron que era un almuerzo y que había terminado y el menú era ahora al la carta que no era tan buena, es caro y no incluyen una cerveza gratis para el padre. No éramos los únicos que nos decepcionó. . Sólo miraba el. texto en el sitio web de reserva y no hay mención de comida

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado comedor (y desayunar) aquí regularmente cuando asistir a reuniones de negocios de los Empresarios en el Evangelio completo. El servicio es amable y rápido, aunque razonable nos sirve salmón en lugar de cordero última noche (3 de junio) y tuvimos que esperar bastante tiempo para que el cordero. Cenamos allí dos veces esta vez, y mis comidas eran buenas. Mi esposa tenía un bistec desastrosa, pero no puedo quejarme ya que habría ampliado nuestra comida demasiado. El tío de mi izquierda tenía una excelente carne. No es el lugar para una noche romántica, ni una celebración - aunque había ruido de fiestas en su apogeo. Rattlely. Valor razonable (a menos que tengas un filete de duff).

La comida era deliciosa y muy bien presentada. No una gran selección de comida y para el 2 de nosotros de tener dos campos y una botella de vino era £70 + que estábamos un poco tomado una vuelta por el nivel y la sensación del restaurante. Sopa era deliciosa, pero mi pollo estaba seco en mi principal y mi pareja ofreció 'extra' por £3 popadoms. 99, cuando la comida llegó recordó a la camarera de la extra a lo que ella respondió popadoms que sólo te dan 3 como parte normal, y a él le parecía que tenía un puñado de patatas fritas poco pop. Bastante decepcionante no una gran relación calidad-precio no vale la pena el dinero.

Food was really good and tasty. Good portions as well. Love the huge screen for watching sports on. One can be a little dark for eating but still a great place.

Friendly staff, good food, beer a bit pricey but it is a hotel. Sky TV, watched all the european games on big screen, there are several screens available to view though from most tables,overall a relaxing bar atmosphere and quite chilled.

Tuvimos una comida de San Valentín y un desayuno inglés completo. Un montón de opciones. Y el servicio era muy profesional.

Una comida tranquila pero alegre agradable - Buen conocimiento personal y la comida llegó rápidamente y fue bien presentada.

Me alojo en el Hotel Village bastante a menudo debido a los viajes de negocios y con el brío necesario estar aquí, sería mi primera elección para la comida.

we had the fixed price 3 course meal. mains were a really tasty burger, well cooked and the other was chick pea curry. again well cooked nicely spiced and tasty

Particularly on a Friday this is a good place to fill up - with their £1 burger. The service was OK and the food was good.Breakfast was good and really set us up for the day.

Lovely meal & the staff are great, lots of choice on the menu, everything done to perfection, nothing too much trouble

Had a two course dinner from set menu it wS really good and great value for money. Staff were very friendly but service very slow.

There aren't really any other decent dining restaurant options within walking distance of The Village Hotel. If you are staying at the hotel it's a choice of eating in or a taxi ride to somewhere else. The hotels Verve restaurant has recently been refurbished and offers a reasonable range of stopover cuisine. Restaurant can be fairly empty at times - but is a respectable meal with very helpful staff. Hotel breakfasts served here as well - but solo business traveller may prefer to have a bar meal in the sports bar on other side of hotel foyer.

Staff lovely. Restaurant lacks atmosphere. Food over priced and lacks taste. Struggled to cut through £26 medium sirloin, even worse to try and chew. Was a poor quality beef and poorly cooked also. £85 for 2 courses with a couple of drinks. Won't be back (even though we're local and members of this gym). Disappointed and not surprised it was virtually empty on a Saturday night!

the food has a great variety. plus they offer an under 500 cal option menu. wine is well priced too.. certainly a great standard and service

We stayed at the village and booked into the Verve on a Sunday night. The staff were lovely and very friendly. I couldn't fault them. However the quality of the meal was poor and over priced for what we got. We had three courses and ordered a bottle of prosecco from the menu. I was surprised to see on the bill we had been charged £23 for the bottle, when the menu stated it as costing less that £16. We ordered a Creme Brulee for dessert and this came out cold. We didn't complain as it was a celebration weekend and I didn't want to put a damper on anything. However the 10% service charge didn't warrant what we received. Lovely staff but a shame about the food. Go else where for a nice meal.

The restaurant was good but as we were on a deal we had a set menu which wasn’t very extensive. Breakfast on the other hand was very good with a wide choice of food.We would certainly not hesitate to go back here if the opportunity arose.

unfortunately these Verve restaurants are very average in Village hotels, service was fine but food was small portions and pretty poor value, would give a miss on my next visit to the hotel

We ate here with our Australian friends. All four of us were very impressed with all the courses. Great service too. My only quibble was the air con was really cold, so wear an extra layer just in case.

Being a diabetic they catered for me asked what I could and couldn't eat and made sure everything was ok for me

I was here on a course, the portions were massive, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner. A nice selection of food, portions are rather large, even the starters are as large as a main.It's worth a visit!

I stayed here for 4 days and the food never dropped below standard. A good selection each day meant there was always a good variation to choose from. Breakfast was especially good each morning, and as they were open from 6.30 great for an early riser

Great food and a lovely varied menu.Staff are excellent, so helpful and friendly. We recently had a hen do here and it was a brilliant evening.Would highly recommend.

After not visiting for almost 2 years we decided to return after hearing the place had had a refurb and as we all have a good healthy appetite decided to re try the Sunday all you can eat carvery . Place is looking fab . With a great welcome from the service staff ,we were quickly shown to our table we had booked and our drinks order was taken .. So far so good :) We all went and helped ourselves to the starters and was all pleasantly suprised at what selections they had. Smoked mackerel was a nice addition along with pork pie , selection of meats and prawn cocktails (with a good helping if prawns) .. Soup was available which they brought to the table with fresh warm breads . Spot on . Now the Carvery . What every one likes with a carvery is a decent "tasty" Yorkshire pudding !!! .. Unfortunately this was not what we got. The Yorkshire pudding was like a huge piece of oven baked cardboard , that no matter how much gravy you put over it ,it just wouldn't cut and it tasted of absolutely nothing .. (Like the ones you get at a Toby carvery - the reason we don't go anymore !! ..) The meat was lovely and very tender and the veg selection good but PLEASE sort out the Yorkshire puddings .. All 4 of us left ours and so did the table next to us !! It's a Yorkshire pudding .. So cheap & easy to make .. Deserts were good ,not a massive selection but the guys did enjoy the waffles made to order.

Ate here whilst away on business, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy but I was asked to wait to one side before I was taken to a table - I must have waited about 5mins, which felt very long especially as the restaurant was barely full. When I eventually did get a seat the waitress who served me was friendly and polite so it made up for my initial wait! I ordered the jalapeño mac n cheese for starters, this was delicious but only had 3 pieces of jalapeño scattered over the top - it was also quite a large portion for a starter, but I wasn't complaining! For mains I had the cod, which was beautifully presented and very tasty. I would definitely eat here again as the food was bought quickly and was really tasty! It is more like a gastro pub setting and has enough space to host both large and small groups.

Ok Breakfast, good selection to suit everyone. They did a english fry up, which was nice. Staff were helpful and kind couldnt fault them at all. They had some food as well. It was all you can eat but after one plate full it was more than enough.

Ate here as part of a deal, but the prices were reasonable if paying. The food was very well presented and tasty. Staff attentive but not overbearing, and we're friendly and helpful. Decent sized portions. My only complaint was the poor range for vegetarians.

Great decor, very relaxed and comfortable, trendy but not in your face. Well thought out seating, free paper, hot fresh buffet breakfast with good selection of hot and cold food and drink. Not rushed and given space to enjoy breakfast

As there is nothing else nearby decided to get some food here. Very pricey indeed for what you get. I didn't find the price reflected the portions. Presentation was good but portions very small. The layout of the restaurant is very open and you feel as though all eyes are on you. Didn't feel very comfortable dining here at all.

The food was delicious and well presented. We ate from the set menu which was £28 for 2 courses for 2. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Visited for the first time in a number of years, living locally there are other places I would consider first, however having met friends a couple of times after using the the gym in The Bar and eaten where I found the food well priced and enjoyable, we thought we would give the Verve Bar and Grill a go for a birthday celebration. I was pleasantly surprised, serve and food were very good and they even gave the birthday girl a complementary glass of bubbly which was a really nice touch. With a mix of starters, mains and desserts we all enjoyed our choices, although I felt the batter in the Fritto Misto, could have been cooked for a fraction longer for my personal taste. it was also refreshing to see that a service charge hadn't been automatically to the bill even though we did leave a tip it was good to have the option. Worth a visit.

It's been several years since we ate here but were lured back by the two for one offer on a Taste Card. All the starters took my fancy but I went for the ham hock terrine and hubby had chicken lollipops. Definite food envy because the terrine was good but his starter was the best - really good flavours, sticky and hot.My main course (the cod with chorizo, mussels and baby potatoes) looked lovely and the fish was beautiful - pure white, perfectly cooked flakes. Dessert, we shared, pineapple carpaccio with mint, chilli and coconut ice cream. I''m glad we did as it as as big portion for just one.The staff were friendly and observant, noticing if we needed drinks etc. The quality of both the food and service was much better than our last visit, so a pleasant surprise!

Enjoyed the several meals I had at this Grill. Light atmosphere and a good choice of entree's, not sure about the Bar part because I do not drink. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and nobody was rowdy.

Friendly, if somewhat stressed staff on our visit due to an extremely busy hotel. Food was fine, but nothing special.

Service was fine, starter was good (Somerset Brie) but £24.95 for a fillet steak to be served with the poorest quality frozen fries along with poor quality frozen onion rings (£2.75) was an insult to each and every one of the 7oz of scrappy fillet!

I ordered the leek tart and it wasn't what I expected but still nice. However, half of it was burnt which wasn't that great! Portion sizes are quite small as well. Asked for a dessert menu and then it seemed like we were slightly forgotten for a bit despite it not being overly busy!

small portions but good quality. Breakfast on Sunday morning had massive queues due to Saturday weddings. The hotel real was geared up for full ocuupancy at breakfast

The food served is absolutely amazing and delicious! The presentation was beautiful and the restaurant's decor is minimalist and decorated in a cool contemporary colour scheme. I only wish we had been able to select from the full menu but as we had a buyagift voucher we had a specially reduced menu to choose from

Good for a drink after a long day work, not really suitable for a great dinner as the food served is in a fast food style. Service is though great and friendly! Draught beers choice is good!

The staff here were very friendly and eager to help. It's a nice relaxing area with lots of comfortable seating in booths etc

Staff were prompt to seat us and take our order. We exchanged some items from the set menu and the food was delicious! Slow roast pork belly was cooked perfectly followed by blackcurrant and champagne sorbet! Throughout the whole meal, the staff were attentive and I could not fault the service.

Had the best meal here. Never have I tasted an apple and cinnamon pie that made me feel like I was in heaven until I ate here! Would definitely recommend

Looked nice. Food tasted nice.Side dishes tiny but dear. Too many new starter staff on a shift which meant lots of mistakes.

Meal was served reasonably fast. Food quality was good. Restaurant was comfortable. Nice waitress. I will go back.

Yes we had a table of about 15. Those of us who are actually thought it was ok. We've just finished our starters and main course on the way. My cousin is still waiting for her starter. Three soups sent back as cold. Not good, staff overrun, company much better. If you've got hundreds of covers your processes need to be slick guys!

everyone was really friendly and helpful. We ordered the steak which wasn't to our liking but the rest of the food was delicious

Been a frequent visitor here for years , no longer.Plates have been halved in size ( only brought in this last month ) , the beef was incinerated ( chef clearly can't cook beef) , no prawn starters and the selection a fraction of what it was.The 20% discount gym members used to get has been cut to ten. The place was full of pensioners and noisy kids .The village hotel / verve are clearly trying to recoup the cost of the pointless refurb .Avoid like the plague , go to the Corn mill across the road or even McDonald's .

My wife and granddaughter went there last night to a Christmas party. The food was terrible, many people were complaining. My granddaughter's vegetarian dish looked like vomit. When my wife complained, the lady said that she would talk to the chef and never came back. There were no mince pies or coffee. In short; never again.

Ate here during a business trip to Attenborough near Nottingham. This restaurant is in the Village Hotel which is also a fitness centre but the restaurant was very quiet, even for mid-week with only three diners. The service and food were very nice and the price was only a little on the expensive side. I would recommend this if you are in the Attenborough area as this is probably the best restaurant there.

Me and my partner ate in the restaurant for a dinner and two breakfasts as part of our Village Hotel package.Staff were lovely, very helpful and chatty. Food was excellent. I had the fishcake to start, cajun chicken for main and creme brulee to finish.My partner had the pate to start, burger for main and creme brulee for pudding.We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

We haven't been for Sunday lunch for a while so we were surprised to see the restaurant had been refurbished - very nice. Today's Sunday lunch was dreadful ! The only good thing was the soup. The choice of starters has been drastically reduced. We had to ask for the prawns and ham hock terrine to be refilled, the same for the horseradish and cranberry sauce. The starters are now situated in a small corner so if there are more than about 4 of you, you struggle to get round. Our table was not cleared down by the waitress so we had to move empty plates onto the next table, though she cleared plates away for the couple seated next to us. We were not asked once if everything was ok. The beef was dry, the gammon very salty, the vegetables were as dry and withered looking as anything. The gravy was overpoweringly strong so added to spoiling the meal. The custard was thin, runny and tasted like water. Upon paying, we were finally asked if everything was ok to which we said it wasn't, much to the surprise of the waitress. We asked to speak to a manager only to be told there was not one in today - what a surprise ! and what a shame the team cannot be left unsupervised. We were asked to complete a Food for your Thoughts form but it wasn't big enough hence coming here

The restaurant is now more of a cafe atmosphere and the foods not up to cafe standard. The staff are non exsistent but when I complained the waiter side the manager was out but I could fill out a "Food for your thoughts" card. That card was ever going to be big enough.Starters: soup nice but the warmer was almost empty had to ask for moreSalad: no ham hock. No prawns had to ask for someMain: veg dry and almost raw. Gammon had soft skin sloshing around and the meat was over cooked, not sure how that's even possible!. The gravy had more powder than needed and was overpowering the food. Had to ask for the condiments to be refreshed as most were empty.Desert: crumble very nice but ruined by the weakest custard ever made.Each course we had to load the table next tou ours with the used crockery as no one came to take them away. Two tables near us made very comments as ours when leaving.I have used the Village for years but that's over. You would be better off going to a Toby, they know what there doing is cheap and cheerful.

Only 2 tables occupied at 7:30 p.m. Got the order wrong. Chicken dry and gnocchi gummy. Suggest a trip into Beeston for a more acceptable meal. The pub in the hotel is no better.

Came here today for Sunday lunch with my family, haven't been for well over a yr as every time we go the food just gets worse and worse,so today we thought we would give it a try as it's been refurbed, well no amount of investment or lick of paint has changed the food in any way, there was hardly no selection of starters or deserts, were as last yr there was a good variety of both, it seems that they've totally cut back on many of the starters and deserts they once served as they were actually pretty decent, we're it goes down hill is the carvery, the meat is always dry and tough were it has bin sat under the lights all afternoon the Yorkshire puddings are a joke and every thing else like greens and what not are just over cooked and not appealing at all, I realy think the top bosses of this place should come here for dinner one Sunday and bring there family and see if they would be satisfied what they got for the price they paid, this may seem a harsh review but we go and try to give it a nother go and totally regret it afterwards, the service I can't fault we was seated promptly drinks came fast and was asked numerous times if everything was ok, I was honest with the waitress and just told her it was not good and was very poor, she didn't look to happy but that is by no means her fault, sorry but won't be wasting my money here ever again, I've been a faithful customer here for over 4 yrs, if I notice no change surely I can't be the only one,,,

Went here for Sunday lunch todayWe havnt been for nearly a year because food was going down hillNow it's all been changed and it's even worse Less choice of starters & desserts They used to have a pasta stand which kids liked that's gone now there's nothing they'll eat but carvery which consists of dry meat & hard yorkies and dry vegPrice seems to have gone up aswell but no improvement on the food

The verve restaurant has been refurbished and is now more cafe style which is a real shame.One side of the restaurant appeared modern, while the other side was shabby chic, & not sure it really works. It's a mish mash.It was a busy Saturday night and as we walked in the noise level hit you, it was really loud the noise levels didn't seem to decrease as people left either, which was strange.The manager served us the wine, well, I say served,he put it down on the table and when a chap on the next table spoke to him, promptly ignored us and went off !!The food was okay. We had 40 minute wait to be offered dessert, while every other table was served. We just seemed to be ignored, although we did get a complimentary drink for the delay.All in all, it was okay, but could and should have been better.

Great food,excellent service, a pity the refurbishment wasn't complete so we could have enjoyed the new menu, sounded scrumptous!

Absolutely lovely meal.....lovely ambience & nice decor! Variety of menu catering for all taste buds! Very pleasing & tentative staff.

The meal was mostly ok, nothing to write home about. The menu strangely describes their butchers steak as 'cut from the diaphragm' which put lots of people off. Goan fish curry was sent back as rice undersooked and virtually raw and the curry itself so salty it was inedible. replaced very quickly though. Service fine. Quite expensive, roughly £6 for starter and £10 for main, i would recommend going cheaper and going to a nearby pub.

i always prefer to eat at the Verve Grill rather than the restaurant which is lovely but very expensive for stretched pockets.

As per normal we booked for a family gathering at the Village for the Sunday lunch.This was and could be in the future THE best Sunday carvers in the local area without a doubt, but the following is why it isn't at the moment.We were taken promptly to our table and then left, I had to call someone over to take a drinks order which came about 10 minutes later.Off we go then to sample today's soup, which was empty.The salad selection was non existent and we had to wait around another 5 minutes for someone to come past to ask them to replenish. No apology just ok I will get some.For the mains the carving chefs seem to have a bet on who can cut the thinnest slices of meat, no care is taken to remove fat or gristle. Why do they have to serve the stuffing and Yorkshire puddings??? They were awful this time stodgy and flat, they were commented on by everyone in the queue!The veg is very hit and miss the Chelsea cauliflower is great, Brussels were hard, mash has too much salt and the parsnips are really good.Never enough gravy and its gone very thin, it used to be nice and thick but now like water, more cost saving?The condiments are always low or empty and getting it replenished is near impossible.The desserts selection has halved from what it originally was and the hot pudding was an empty dish from when we went in to when we left.Clearing of the plates needs some more attention. It would be so much better if they restaurant was zoned for the staff, so that's my part to concentrate on. Manager or supervisor to check every 15 mins for what needs replenishing in the salad and pudding area.Chefs to cut meat thicker and learn how to do risen Yorkshire puddings.We love coming here but it is going to be so difficult now to get the family back as they were all disappointed in the dining experience and I was embarrassed as I preach to family and friends how good this carvery is.The manager needs to experience this to understand its not moaning, well ok it is, but constructive criticism for them to be able to improve.We may give it a month then try again but if its not changed then we will start going to a local pub like the Manor or Corn Mill.

We went for dinner there about 2.30pm one Sunday afternoon and the food was poor and the tables were cluttered with plates that we cleared ourselves. The food was cold and raw. We decided to complain and the manager was very apologetic as it was the start of the season. He offered us a free meal next time if we came early as that was when it peaked. We weren't too bothered about going back but thought we would just to see if an hour and a half earlier made a difference. We were very surprised at our return as to how much better the food and service was. Compliments to the manager who has made us go back more regularly but they still need to maintain throughout the day and not just at the start.

Been here a few times for the Sunday Lunch. Its a bit different as it is all you can eat at a pretty cheap price. The food used to be okay and it was an enjoyable meal out however my last experience there means I will never go back.We booked a table, they didnt have the reservationStarters were okay but the carvery was the most disgusting thing I have ever seenHorrible joints of meat, I dont even know where you could buy such bad quality meatThe beef had chunks and i mean chunks of fat running through itThe potatoes were not cooked on the inside and greasy on the outsideThe mini sausages were not cooked at allSo fair enough everywhere has an off dayNo one came to ask us if our food was okay, no one came to clear our platesWhen we approached the front of house lady she could not have been more disinterestedWe listed out everything that we were not happy with and she did not look up onceI don't know whether she though we were time wasters or whether we were just the 100th people to complain.She then went to the till and printed a bill for the drinks we had, I gave her the money and again she did not even look at us when she handed over the change.Not one word of an apology for serving up a plate of food that literally made me gag.I have never been so amazed by someone's attitude and I will never eat here or again nor would I advise anyone else to.

We saw these prices and assumed it would be good quality. £25 for a rib steak which was tasteless is not good value. The onion rings were so soggy you could wring the grease out. Had to ask for a steak knife. The peppercorn sauce was very runny which, served on a flat wooden platter, is not a good move. Overall, the staff were polite. The price for 2 steaks and 2 cokes was just under £57. Expectation of the experience forms a large part of perception of value. Either the price needs to come down to something more reasonable or the quality and experience needs to raise significantly.

The food was very good with an early bird offer dining before 7pm you could choose a set menu with 1,2 or 3 courses that was very reasonably priced. After 7pm you could choose from the menu or opt for the two dine for £29 menu. Breakfast was a eat as much as you like full english with coissants and danish pastries etc.

We ate here a couple of times whilst staying at the hotel on a business trip.The service was excellent and the food was generally good - especially the deserts. The only exception was a tuna salad that was fairly inedible. The restuarant did have a decent atmosphere.
