Food Quality

"Food was beautiful and a fair price for the quality."
Cons:
"The food was inedible and at no point were we asked if everything was alright with our meals."
"The food I had was ok but not worth the £15 price tag, it was real generic quality pub food."
"The burger had absolutely no flavour apart from charcoal as it was completely nuked black."
"When the food finally arrived it was not good and by the time we got the condiments and cutlery it was cold."
"The pie was chicken and very dry, I couldn’t get a knife through the pastry."
"Food was mediocre - steak tasty with chips, but just a handful of bagged salad so very much pub grub vs gastro."
"Rotten lettuce in my burger. Absolutely stank and completely inedible."

Cons:
"Decor is nice but it was very 'chritmassy' in the bar where we entered but didn't seem so in the dining room and the lighting could be warmer."
"We stayed in one of their rooms and for the price they were very disappointing."
"The showers were dirty... In one of the rooms the drain was blocked, in the other room the shower was broken and it was not possible to take a hot shower."
"The room was cold and damp. The carpet looked old and dusty."
"Could hear everything in room above, including speech. Floorboards creaked."

"The bathroom was shabby & old with black mould in shower."
