Henry Tudor Inn Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "Gorgeous decor and lovely atmosphere."
• "Nice, atmospheric pub/restaurant."
• "A great restaurant in a beautiful historic building."
• "The place itself has a great ambience."
• "Beautiful place to have a lovely lunch or dinner, the 'historic figure' paintings are a great touch! Food and drinks amazing and great service!"
• "Very welcoming atmosphere."
• "Lots of exposed wood and beams and a spiral staircase add to the upscale ambience."

Cons:

• "The room upstairs is way too hot and cramped when there's 100 people in there."
• "The only thing I’d warn peeps about is the uneven cobblestone walkway outside in the alley in front of restaurant - tread carefully."
• "It’s very old and not particularly friendly to baby prams, wheelchairs or high heels, nor, I imagine, drunken patrons."
• "I've never really liked this place but don't know why. I think it is probably something to do with the layout which isn't quite a bar and isn't quite a lounge. It can seem cramped and noisy."
• "We sat in the 'cell's' area, which was freezing."
• "The restaurant was very noisy and very busy."
• "Not a great place to eat when the bar is busy as punters all walk though dining area to get to the toilets! But it's usually busy so maybe it's just me!!"

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Slow cooked short rib of beef retained immense depth of flavour. Possibly a little fatty for some but could have just been unlucky with the cut."
• "Fish & chip heaven. Flaky cod wrapped in Green Monkey crispy batter was served with skin on chips, sweet crushed garden peas and the best homemade tartar sauce, so good we had to ask for more!"
• "The roast dinner was near to perfection."
• "Pork belly and beef Wellington were amazing; served with yummy vegetables, mash etc. all beautifully presented."
• "The meal was fantastic. The breads, lamb, burger, fish. The desserts too."
• "The food is always phenomenal."
• "The menu offered a variety of delectable dishes, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor."

Cons:

• "The food was obviously reheated and overly salty."
• "The fish option was very very disappointing. It flaked away as if it had been frozen, very dry, quite bland."
• "Probably the worst Christmas Dinner attempt I have ever eaten."
• "Pheasant was burnt and accompanying 'curry' drowned the flavour."
• "The steak pie I had was dry and didn’t taste good."
• "The pork belly looked delicious, but not one to order if you're hungry as the portion size was tiny!"
• "Roast potatoes resembled a brick, that were totally inedible."

Service

Pros:

• "Absolutely fabulous service."
• "Staff very helpful."
• "The waitress was hospitable and attentive."
• "Staff were very attentive and welcoming."
• "The staff are really helpful and friendly and a real credit."

Cons:

• "After waiting for 10 minutes at a table and no one said anything. We were told that it was booked. No one to greet you at the door, at least to know from the beginning what are the rules."
• "Not once were we asked if our meals were ok."
• "A long wait to take our drinks order, despite waiting staff walking past our table to serve others who had arrived after us."
• "Service was really slow."
• "The service was awful, the staff were inexperienced."
• "Had to ask someone to take our order of drinks."
• "The service was terrible, we kept having to get up and ask for things."
