Plantagenet House Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was excellent, every selection we had could not be faulted."
• "The food was delicious, I especially liked the Monkfish, cooked perfectly."
• "Had one of the nicest best most delicious Sunday lunches ever, we both had the 3 meat roast, beautifully tender beef, pork and lamb."
• "The quality of food was first class, exceptional."
• "Both of us went for the local cod and chips, was absolutely delicious! Homemade tartare sauce was excellent."
• "Chefs showcased the very best food. Garlic bread was the best I’ve tasted and the sea bass & cannon lamb were simply stunning."
• "Absolutely amazing food. We had a starter, main and dessert and loved every bite."

Cons:

• "The tartar sauce was good but I think we ordered at the tail end of lunch because the chips were not fresh and fish was soggy in the middle."
• "No crab! My husband had a 'home made' pie that was meat in an oval dish and a separate round piece of puff pastry - Not a pie!"
• "I ordered a fillet steak I left the whole steak I couldn’t even chew it a fillet steak is supposed to be one of the softest steaks to eat mine was like rubber sent it all back wouldn’t go there again."
• "Sadly the Butternut Squash Wellington was a big let down, bland and tasteless and definitely not worth the money I paid for it."
• "Monk fish - overcooked, may even have been reheated. Texture was cotton wool and so disappointing at £34."
• "The food was absolutely disgusting. My Hake Steak was dry and tasteless and the sauce was utterly forgettable."
• "The food was over-priced - my Monkfish was nice, but the rice wasn't cooked & it was clumpy, the sauce was meh."

Cons:

• "Service less so - wine arrived pre-opened, lack of knowledge about various dishes and just a lack of interest in general."
• "Service was apathetic, bordering on supercilious at times."
• "They didn't care to ask us if the food was OK as I suspect they knew the answer."

Atmosphere

Pros:

Cons:

Value

Pros:

• "It's a little costly, but is worth every penny."
