Atmosphere

Cons:

• "The place looks as if it needs some tlc carpet looks rank and the sanitisation in the toilets not brill."
• "Big mistake selling off the bar area and blocking it off as that created much of the atmosphere that sadly, Yankee Traveller now lacks."
• "Background noise at unprecedented levels thanks to the neanderthal party of 12."
• "The decor looks like its never been updated."

Value

Cons:

• "I think it's time for me to stop thinking Yankee Traveller is anything other than an expensive sauna serving overpriced food and drink."
• "I had a coffee milkshake, and whilst it was extremely good, I believe it to be overpriced for the amount you get."
• "The prices have also increased - £3 for a can of Dr Pepper?! £5 for a basic milkshake?!"
• "All in all expectation's were not met, I understand it's under new management all I can say is I hope they get it back to what you expect, let's face it it's not cheap, not a problem if it's good, £270 bill with no deserts, expectations need to be met."
• "Awful place its so over priced, had to wash my clothes once I got home, stale smell in restaurant."
• "Travelled 130 miles to go to this restaurant, we used to go there a few years ago, 6 of us were there, as we entered being forced to load the NHS app at the door was a poor start."
• "Used to love the place but it has really gone downhill."
