4 of us had a meal booked at Middletons, we arrived on time for our booking to find our table wasnât even set, we were eventually seated with just knives and glasses at the table. When we requested forks we were informed that our waitress was âtrying to find some in the kitchenâ. After waiting quite a while, our order was taken, the service was continuously slow all night. The starters, particularly the scallops (one of the most expensive starters) were poor. Served with a plain looking raw onion on the side and only 2 or 3 very small scallops in some sauce. The mains were much better, the steak was cooked well and the sides were nice. Whilst we appreciate it was perhaps a busy night due to it being the festive period, we found our 10% service charge automatically added to the bill was a little cheeky given the slow service. Itâs also stated itâs âoptionalâ however our waitress seemed shocked/confused when we paid a lower amount than the bill total, not paying the full ÂŁ23 tip. 10% tips are understandable for larger groups but not for a table of 4. Overall fairly disappointed with our visit, had we have been a walk in then we perhaps wouldâve understood but given it was a reservation it seemed the staff werenât able to keep up. We didnât feel we got value for money at all. Middletons is a local for us so weâre disappointed it didnât impress as much as weâd have hoped!

This is the second Bar + Block I've eaten at when staying at a premier inn. Honestly the food tastes alright. It's nice. But it is so overpriced for what it is. ÂŁ18 for a small burger and chips. Really poor value for money. The burger and chips at the Christmas markets actually work out cheaper, bigger portions and were very tasty. Our company has an evening food allowance of ÂŁ28 and it struggles to cover some of these meals. A waiter said it's because it is apparently higher quality but honestly, I've had the same tasting food for less money at a Brewster pub. Either bring the prices down or up the meal quality, portions and presentation in my opinion. I wouldn't choose to spend my own money here. (Obviously I had eaten half the burger in the photo before taking the photo đ it was served that way)
