A wonderful experience

My husband and I have just had a wonderful meal at this gastro pub. We chose the roast beef & Yorkshire pudding with vegetables. For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream whilst my husband had rum & rain ice cream with a rum to pour over the top. Everything was freshly made (no frozen stuff) It was the best meal we have ever had in ages. We highly recommend paying the pub a visit but book a table first. Very friendly welcoming staff.

UNTRUSTWORTHY STAFF

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights for a friends wedding. When I checked out Saturday morning I realised within 15 minutes that I had left my toiletries in the bathroom and phoned the hotel straight away to inform them as cleaners had not yet been to my room to clean. A lady on reception told me they would go to the room to retrieve the items and call me back to arrange posting. I received a phone call over 24 hours later on Sunday evening to say that none of my items were found.

Well situated but otherwise poor.

Room service poor- some food undercooked. Requested a ground floor room and had this confirmed by the hotel. Arrived to be given a room on floor 3 with no option to move. Room and communal areas very dated. Various stains in room. Communication with the spa very poor. Not enough staff at breakfast causing delays and inaccuracies in orders for group. For the cost of the room I would expect a better standard. Noise from other rooms was distracting.

Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.

Expensive and poor quality

Firstly we were not allowed to pick our own seats and were shown to a dark corner, the pub was very cold and when the meal arrived I was presented with undercooked veg and slices of turkey which had no taste at all and looked very much like the thinly sliced turkey you get in a supermarket, in fact I have had tastier turkey from a supermarket. The tastiest part of the meal were the mashed carrots. Felt it was money wasted and I will definitely not be eating here again. Don't usually write review

Really disappointing

Unfortunately we were really disappointed with the quality and service. The meals arrived promptly but both mine and my partner’s main course weren’t cooked properly. In my case the chips served with fish were under cooked and inedible. My partner ordered a mushroom sandwich was overcooked to a sloppy tasteless melee. Fish and chips is usually a pub food staple and whilst the fish served wasn’t as bad as the chips it wasn’t great either and it shouldn’t be so difficult to get right.

Disgusting service and food contamination

We decided to visit the The Royal after a family walk and ordered 3 meals. We ordered the firecracker chicken as part of our meals. In the salad was a large feather beneath the salad. When we approached the staff the bar lady was kind and polite and took the plate away. What happened next was disgusting. The manger rudely came over and stated that this was not his fault and he wouldn't be offering a replacement

Good value for money

Went for impromptu lunch. Excellent service. Food was lovely and very good value for money. I chose the scampi and changed the sides due to my foodie intolerances and this was accommodated without fuss. Staff very friendly.

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.

Really good value

Held our wedding reception at this venue. Nothing was too much trouble and all ran smoothly, from the timing of the food courses being served, even allowing breaks when needed as the portion sizes were generous. Food was all lovely and commented on by all. Big thank you to Tom, Mark and all the staff.

An experience to forget

My youngest nephew then found his glass had a serious and visible crack in it. The starters finally arrived a good 30 minutes after they had been ordered, again no apology and even then one of the starters was incorrect. They did offer, grudgingly, to exchange it.On to the main course. Five of the six meals arrived and, five minutes later mine arrived. I'd ordered from the specials board. it was said to include Mustard MASH. It arrived with hot food piled on a horrible heap of cold potato salad.
