    the steak sandwich was cold and didn’t come with a top bun and the fish tacos were full of overcooked and dry fish which was not appealing to eat, we couldn’t finish our meals

    Food was disgusting- the tables behind us actually left their full meals got up and left. Steak, fish tacos and all. We all ate ours - it’s a beautiful pub but food is foul. Went to order at the bar from wine list- most out of stock. Bar lady made no effort to sell the wine as I walked into the front bar and ordered a glass of what I originally asked for. We are always visiting town and it’s a shame this place keeps going further down the tube. Get some decent chefs!

    The hotel did not have any atmosphere. The bistro had an offputting stale smell, and the meal was mediocre. The only good thing was that the staff were lovely - friendly and helpful.

    Food was generous and really nice. We had Parmigiana and Calamari meals. Had some nice wine too. Girls need to up knowledge of what is wine / reds whites etc, and what beers they have but otherwise lovely team.

    Very poor quality food. Overpriced for the quality.

    Hi Anonymous Appreciate you taking the time to rate your visit. Makes it very hard for us to endeavour to improve our product without feedback, and the price may have been reflective of the public holiday surcharge too. Sorry we didn't meet your expectation on this occasion. Cheers Star

    The same pub fair, trying hard but not quite there with quality. My Schnitzel was tough and the gravy was like water, no flavour. The chips were cold, we didn’t wait long so I am thinking that a lot of items are pre cooked and just reheated. We didn’t say anything at the venue as it was busy with families and where we were sitting was where everyone lined up to order so our table was blocked in. It is a shame because our other visits here have been good.

    Hi Shar Thanks for the feedback; and we are sorry we didn't quite meet your expectations on this occasion. It was really busy throughout the Easter period when you visited but that is to be expected, so the lineup would have been longer at times we will use the feedback you have provided to try and improve the experience for the future. Cheers Star
