Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Everything was perfect for our last day at work feed, watered at the BEEF EATER STRAWBERRY FIELDS!"

  • "Food cooked wonderfully and no issues whatsoever!"
  • "The food was cooked to perfection (Brad was the chef ... Well done πŸ‘πŸ»)."
  • "Had a really lovely meal. Started with butter chicken goujons, really nice with melted cheese, spring onions, jalapeΓ±os and a tomato relish."
  • "Crunchy wings with hot sauce was lovely, salmon was cooked to perfection."

Cons:

  • "If you want overpriced, bland (zero seasoning), dry, inedible food cooked from frozen, go here."
  • "Chicken in mixed grill seemed reformed as pappy texture."
  • "The Minute steak and fries was so thin it was little more than a slice of roast beef."
  • "Our starter was awful, looked like it was re-heated from yesterday."
  • "Food was below average, and served up warm."
  • "Expensive and the churros on the desert were cold and chewy."
  • "The calamari starter was purple which indicates it has deteriorated and really should have been put in the bin."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Two course for four came to just over Β£40. Bargain."
  • "Great value for money too."
  • "I was on a meal deal from the Premier Inn next door and so very good value."
  • "I have to say one of the nicest meals I have had, also had a 33% off food voucher which made the whole meal very reasonably priced."
  • "Kids eat free, what a winner. I doubt you will find a better value breakfast."
  • "Had a taste card so all meals 2 for 1, the kids meals are good value and healthy options available, food is cooked and presented to a good standard."
  • "The 40% voucher helped with the bill."

Cons:

  • "Was disappointed at paying Β£2.80 each for 2 cream sodas to find out it was a barr can that you get in shops for around 59p."
  • "Nearly Β£50 so very expensive for what we did actually have."
  • "When we got the bill, they charged us Β£5 for gravy! Honestly couldn’t believe it."
  • "Regularly use this restaurant when staying at adjacent Premier Inn. Generally enjoy ambiance, friendly staff - however, this review prompted by inedible (and expensive) lamb rump - total waste of money, avoid."
  • "The only gripe is the prices, just over Β£50 for 2 of us and that was for a starter and main each, with a 40% voucher otherwise it would have been Β£66 which is clearly way too much for a pub lunch."
  • "Expensive food even with 40% voucher was double cost of hungry horse and the burgers were tasteless in comparison and tiny."
  • "We ordered kids chips, which was Β£3.90 for a tiny portion of potato less chips, highly disappointed."

  • "Lovely small restaurant and bar."
  • "First impression...nice and clean."
  • "Its a lovely spacious and clean building."
  • "Really nice place. Clean and cosy."
  • "The restaurant area was clean and tidy with pleasant background music."
  • "This restaurant is spotlessly clean and seems to run like clockwork... The management and area managers must be very proud of all their colleagues."

Cons:

  • "It was like eating dinner in a playground..."
  • "Went for lunch and was shown to a table that hadn't been cleaned after breakfast."
  • "Tables were sticky from last nights beer."
  • "The place is dirty, chairs are all stained I wouldn't even use them in my garden, rubbish under tables receipt bin overflowing."
  • "The restaurant was cold and even though we was next to a radiator it was off, so wore our coats throughout the meal."
  • "Came to eat, had a drink before approx 45 mins to 1 hour and had to sit with table full of dirty glasses, which was the same as most tables."
  • "Everything had ran out we were surrounding by dirty tables everywhere with no staff in sight. No coffee or milk in machine, no cups, juice had all gone and the cereal was hanging on just."
