The food was delicious too — we honestly couldn’t fault a thing! From booking the venue to the wedding day, Natasha was great at communicating - even though she had to put up with all of my annoying little questions! Such a beautiful venue with great staff who made the wedding day go SO smoothly. · via Google [carolann jones](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112831680446785129172/reviews) ★★★★★ Booked for a night away, room is very dated and needs upgrading. Bar was reasonably priced for drinks. Food was awful, starters we had pork belly which was soggy onions and 3 small pork belly bites. Garlic mushrooms was tin mushrooms on bread which was really soggy. Within 5 minutes of finishing starters our mains were put in front of us. Steak was okay but veg was very raw and jacket potato came with butter all over it (didn’t even ask if we wanted butter). Minted lamb shank, veg was not cooked, lamb was really chewy and hard and mash was dry, when I asked for more gravy I was told they ran out (literally one hour after opening). After having our food we overheard that there was a party of 10 coming in plus they had a football presentation in the main room. No matter how many people are eating they should treat everyone the same and food should be cooked through. Went back into the bar to find it swarming with teenagers who were mistreating the pool table and the language was appalling. In the end 2 boys came in and asked for the football on the tv to be turned up which they did with no consideration to anyone else who was in the bar. All in all would not go back and certainly not worth the price they charge. · via Google [Daniel Green](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112289069079409759051/reviews) ★★★★★ Had my wedding here last August . Tasha the wedding planner was great couldn’t fault her she worked hard . I felt sorry for the night porter who quit the day of my wedding as he was left to wash the table clothes, dry them as well as iron them at 6am because who ever was supposed to do them in the night didn’t do it ,as well as him having to sort out breakfast for the guests. Buffett looked amazing there was loads of food left when I looked but when I went to have some food which we paid a lot of money for it had been chucked in the bin so we didn’t get to try any .Surely we should of been asked if we wanted to have kept some After paying a lot of money for it to be just chucked in the bin ! · via Google [Mary Davies](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107611729653313005009/reviews) ★★★★★ Had lunch today which was stunning. We both had the cajun chicken hanging skewers which were incredible. Massive pieces of moist, perfectly cooked chicken, followed by sticky toffee pudding with caramel ice cream. Best meal we have had in a long time. Waitress was lovely and a nice chilled, relaxing venue. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486e166b89909ffb:0x94abb9d53c769864!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this hotel offers delicious and well-presented food with generous portions, and guests frequently mention the friendly, helpful, and professional staff.
