Lilily kay and Eden are a asset to the company very well welcoming and acomadating and helpfull and had great banter and where eager to help always. Besides them the mornning lady who does the breakfast is a gem besides that the rest where very rude and not very helpfull. They could do with a bigger vegan menu because I literally for two weeks was eating fish and chips or a plant burger. 🪴

First visit since the change to the new 'Sunday Brunch' menu and completely underwhelmed. The starters are disappointing, veg smoothie, lots of hipster salads in masons jars, an inch of soup that resembled dirty dish water. 45 min wait for mains that were cold, dried out meat, frozen vegetables that were cold in the middle. Frozen yorkshire puddings with a horrible texture. Limited desert options of muffin or parfait. Tables were mixed up leading to the long wait. The staff discussed this 3 feet from us and not one came over to explain the delay or appologise. Food only came out when chased and had clearly been sat under the heat lamp for some time. Would not recommend, not a patch on when Stuart was running the kitchen.

This restaurants was one of my favourites for Sunday Roast. My family and I went yesterday for the first time since it was refurbished. The décor was awful! It has completely changed into an American style sports bar. it is okay if you like that kind of thing but not a nice place to go for a nice Sunday Carvery. The food on the carvery has gone down hill. There were only 2 meat choices. The Brussel sprouts were frozen and the roast potatoes were new potatoes done in the oven, very hard and rubbery on the outside. The food was very bland. I am so sad one of my fave restaurants has gone!

After seeing adverts for an unlimited Sunday roast, we couldn't resist a visit to the newly refurbished Verve Grill. We booked through the online system but when we arrived they couldn't find the booking but after 20 mins they found us a table. We were then told the unlimited carvery had stopped. What? Available all day Sunday but now not available - not happy- we had to have burgers instead. We sent one back to the kitchen as it was very pink and underdone but the chef very quickly rectified the problem. Overall a very expensive meal in the middle of football madness, with the big screens. Don't think i'd hurry back.

I stay at the hotel once a week as the rooms are decent for Warrington. I've eaten here once before and it was very average. Again I was late arriving so opted for the hotel resteraunt. Sent the main back. Under cooked prawns (that were sent back out to me by the chef to say they were cooked) I send them back again with the over cooked tough beef kebab. Seriously don't bother. No wonder it's dead every day of the week. Terrible.

Initially looking at the menu I thought it's going to be the usual high price/low amount of food, but then came the starter and then the main and halfway through it I was full. Then I decided I need to try the deserts and the lovely Grace advised I should go for the Chocolate Fudge cake. The rest is history - I need to run 5k to get my abs back... Speaking of Grace, it's been a while since I've last seen anyone so kind and sweet in this kind of restaurants. If you ever get the chance to stop in there for a meal, pray to god it's her that treats you. You won't be disappointed. Really hope she gets treated the same way she treats the visitors.

I don’t usually eat in the restaurant of the hotel I’m staying in, they are seldom very good. This didn’t help me to change my mind I’m afraid. I can’t fault the hotel, or the bar food in the “pub” side, but can’t recommend the restaurant here. We were three guys (work colleagues) on Valentines Night. The place was empty which wasn’t a good sign. I was persuaded by one of the guys to try it and plumped for the kebab. It came out with all the meat and vegetables so over cooked they span on the skewer. One of the guys didn’t get his side dish until we had finished. I also think it’s expensive for what you get.

Put my review in the hotel section because initially I couldn’t find the restaurant listed. Not sure it’s still called Verve. On arrival at The Grill the lady that greeted us was instantly annoyed that we’d booked the round table for 9 people. She was abrasive to say the least. This was a belated birthday celebration but we felt awkward and at first didn’t quite understand the problem. We requested the round table when booking. Eventually we sat down, the same lady took our drinks order and informed us that the table was available for just 2 hours! I think this should have been mentioned when booking. We notice the the staff worked hard, but if we hadn’t cleared our own plates away(putting them on the window ledge for collection) we would have been there much longer. We felt some pressure on time and aware we overstayed our welcome by 30 minutes or so. The food itself was very nice, only one thing, the Eton Mess had little or no meringue in it. It would have been a nice family get together on Easter Sunday except for the unwelcome reception, this wasn’t a good way to greet people. I’m paying good money to eat and enjoy a family gathering not listen to a receptionist have a moan, it’s not professional either. I would hesitate to go again.

£14.95 for all you can eat carvery. The main carvery meal on 28/1/18 was gorgeous, all meat and veg cooked to perfection. Good choice of starters, including soup served to your table. Just the desserts disappointing. New advertised Mega ice cream sundry is nothing but ice cream and a few 100/1000’s in a bowl, whilst the waffle machine seems to have been replaced by the sundry. Other desserts of chocolate mousse and lemon mousse advertised as cheesecake nice, but served every week for at least the last twelve months. How about a cake option? Very friendly staff, just always seems to be one or two waiting on staff short of what the restaurant requires during a busy period.

Been about three times now and all 3 experiences have been completely different. Food mostly excellent, good tastes and plenty of it. Staff on all occasions have not been attentive (have to be asked to clear your table and then you have to go and find them and when you do - they are usually all talking to one another and the back of the till area). There is no urgency to clear your table when they should. They appear untrained and a bit headless, its a shame because they are lovely young girls and what is average could be great. I also think the management are probably responsible because they are a bit autocratic when talking to the staff which we don't like to see and they do not appear to want to be part of the team.

We ate at "The Verve Grill" when we stayed at the attached hotel and the food was excellent, I can strongly recommend that Chicken kiev, sticky toffee pudding and the crème brulé (by far the best crème brulé I've ever had) The wait staff are attentive but discreet, friendly but professional. At this point I'd like to single out one of the staff members as being exceptionally good, a lady by the name of Beata, she managed to strike the perfect balance between being available but unobtrusive, friendly and professional not to mention very quick and efficient in dealing with requests.

Tried to book by phone via reception. Told fully booked until evening. Called in and found I had a choice of tables all afternoon. Able to easily book for five people. They nearly missed out on a booking for five. Thats £75 plus drinks. However carvery was ok for the price.Choice of starters and soup which were ok. Carvery was generous with the meats and there was a limited choice of vegetables. Choice of four sweets which were quite tasty. This carvery was not as good as it used to be in my opinion but ok for the cost of it.The plastic dishes used to serve the starters and desserts are really a bit naff. Where are the glass dishes?. Staff were excellent and restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Will use again and use my members discount.

Tonight we dined at The Village Hotel in The Verve Grill.I had the same as my husband, the 7oz beef burger with fries and a side of relish. The burger was serve with a portion of bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce and red onions.The fries came in a little metal tub and were surprisingly quite filling considering they were skinny fries. Served red hot as well!The burger was the size of my head and very juicy! It was thick and grilled to perfection.For dessert I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding with a caramel sauce and pecan nuts, with a side of vanilla ice cream. It was very very sweet, so a small portion was defiantly enough because of the sugar content!My husband had the Chocolate Moose with honeycomb sprinkles and cream. The moose wasn’t as sweet as the sticky toffee pudding so I believe that’s why it came in a bigger portion.The mains were approximately £15 each and desserts £3.95 each. Drinks were very expensive, but it is a hotel. A pint of stella was £4.10.I would visit The Verve Grill again as the food and staff were spot on.

There were 23 of us which descended on this restaurant for a special occasion. There was another large group in at the same time but this didn't affect the service in anyway. The food was of great quality. We ate off the set menu which was 2 courses for £15 and this was exceptional value.The only downfall was that we were expected to go to the bar for drinks - although it saved any awkwardness at bill stage so I suppose it wasn't too bad an idea.

We took advantage of the special offer - eat as much as you like..... I must say the food was OUTSTANDING, the very young inexperienced staff were very very polite and helpful, BUT, clearly not trained properly and spent to much time talking to one another and everything was done in slow motion. I did notice two managers or senior staff (one with a reddish beard) who had no idea what was happening right under their noses, they gave of the feeling that "they were the bosses, look at me". Not pleasant when they should be motivating and teaching their staff to do better. I am not surprised about the managers non Chalont attitudes as I have reported several times to the reception team, that they consistently allow non blue badge holders to park in the disabled bays and 6 complaints later they are still allowing it. I would like to eat there again, as the food was great, so here's hoping something happens, I will post my results what ever the outcome

Went for Sunday lunch, decent buffet style roast dinner with numerous extras including large choice of starters and desserts. Probably best value in Warrington on a Sunday.However some negative points which may sound trivial but worth mentioning.Why is this the only village hotel that insists on set times for a Sunday Dinner? You either need to book for 12.30 (too early for us) or 3pm (too late), yet every other Village allows you to turn up anytime after 12.30 pm and no difference in food quality.With doors open on Sunday cos of heat, numerous flies around the buffet. Appreciate this cannot be helped, but the staff made no effort to try and move them. Several remained on an iced dessert for duration of my time in the restaurant.

Upon arrival at the restaurant was greeted by an adolescent youth dressed in jeans and an untucked (unironed) polo shirt. I was told that there were no tables available for 15 minutes, so I waited at the bar which was fine. When I got into the restaurant I was a bit puzzled about the wait as there were a lot of empty tables - I assume the chef or waiting staff cannot cater for the restaurant when it's full. Waitress took my order (again, a teenager in a tshirt and trousers) although at least she was a bit smarter than the waiter.I ordered gnocchi with a side order of sweet potato fries. Based on my previous gnocchi experience it's never enough for a main dish. And I was right. The portion was pretty small and not quite warm enough. The sweet potato fries were nice though.There wasn't a lot of choice on the menu, mainly burgers and steaks or ribs. The restaurant was also quite cold with an eclectic mix on the stereo. Probably won't come back for the price or atmosphere.

Was disappointed that it only came with one accompaniment (choice of chips, salad, etc.). The price put me off getting a dessert, but the staff were friendly, if a little young and inexperienced. Overall I would say the prices suggest this restaurant is trying to be something its not. The menu is also limited, and as far as I can tell there were no veggie options (surely a must for any restaurant these days?).

Lovely pub type venue offering varied menu - although we didn't eat food looked fab. Music very loud and unnecessary which made it difficult to chat but nice place.

Very limited menu, but the quality is OK with good flavours. Top prices for a nosh in Warrington drops the score to average.

Hotel restaurants are always a little hit and miss, but this one is definitely a miss. The service was friendly, but very slow. The menu had some interesting options by 'grill' standards, but sadly they did not deliver. Starter portions were insignificant, the salt and pepper squid was measly and cold by the time it got to the table. The chicken and veg broth was also on edging cold. The flat iron steak was overly fatty and chewy and the chips were soggy, as they had been served on the plate with the steak and were floating in its juices. Serving them in a side bowl may have saved them a little, but even then, they didn't seem fresh. The salmon main was over-cooked. Overall, overpriced and very disappointing.

A typical hotel bar, although due to it being focussed on sport, not always to everyone's taste, TVs everywhere and volume up when games are on. Outdoor drinking terrace, booths for group meetings, average food and drink but a definite if sports watching and drinking is your thing!

Excellent value cavery on Sunday's excellent choices for starters, main meal and puddings, plus you can each as much as you like. Nice relaxing place. If you do over eat a walk around the lake is lovely, you wouldn't think you were in the middle of Warrington

Been going to this restaurant for 5 plus years and am always happy, food is good quality both at evenings and carvery and have never had any problems, they have a new menu that is very different to the others as less steaks and more other meats and fish that suits me, Prices are average for restaurants on normal menu but have started doing a meal deal on Friday and Saturday nights where 2 people can eat 3 courses for £30 great value as can spend more on drink.staff are friendly and always give us a warm welcome most have been here a while and recognize us one lady who has been there since we started going always takes the time to ask us how we are and we enjoy the atmosphere, Would recommend the visit to anyone just wish I'd known about trip advisor sooner

Not as good as it used to be during 2010 with less choice but still very very good and well worth a visit even though expensive.

I went to the VERVE many times on Sunday because they have a wonderful carvery. Apart from the price, that is really good, they have a wide choice of vegetables, salads and dessert. Also they have a good selection of dishes for vegetarian, you can choose pasta or fish and the chef prepares your dish at the moment. The food is really fresh, the meat is tender and there are a lot of sauces for salads and meat. In addition they proposed a Waffle stand in which you can have a fresh waffle as dessert together with fruit or cream or chocolate siroups. I tried many carveries in UK but this one is surely one of the best. It is worth a visit.

Visited on numerous occassions, whilst it is a hotel chain the food is really nice and fresh on the carvery buffet. Excellent additional choices included in price like soup, pasta and numerous desserts. Just do not understand why sittings are now at set times on a Sunday rather than all afternoon.
