Rake And Riddle Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Environment

Pros:

• "Lovely place, I was surprised on how much room there was."
• "Arrived on a Saturday afternoon. Not that busy but food still took longer than most places to come out but was worth the wait."
• "Called in here for a meal with my family after visiting Gower Fresh up the road. I must say I was very impressed."
• "Went during the summer, the double cheese burger with sweet potato fries tasted amazing but could get a little difficult hold in one piece."

Cons:

• "Being as honest as can be this place is not for the older generation, as my wife and I are disabled and in our 70's we kept an open mind on what was to ensue."
• "The first thing that hits you is the noise level, with my deafness I struggled big time, there are huge tv's on the walls and the place was crammed to the hilt."
• "Gave 3 stars because two and a half not available. Meal Thoroughly unpleasant. Barely lukewarm soup even after returning, burger roll half cooked, chips the greasiest I have ever seen."
• "The food was too posh for me im a fussy eater, i had the pasta and it was soo greasy it made me feel sick."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food itself was tasty and hot and what we could eat was lovely."
• "This place came recommended to me. Would be helpful if the menu showed calories per meal etc. lovely meal and will come back."
• "The food was really good. I really recommend the Gower burger (lamb burger with brie and chilli jam)."
• "The salmon and pie was high standard. The brownie for dessert was delicious."

Cons:

• "Four of us had our food at the same time, my grandson had to wait a further 15 to 20 minutes for his as they forgot his order."
• "The restaurant is lovely and the food was good but it did take a long time to arrive."
• "The food was excellent, couldn't fault it, but table service was appalling, we ordered at the bar, 4 starters and 6 main meals, our starters turned up in a reasonable time, 4 of our main meals were then delivered but we had almost finished eating by the time the final 2 meals came."
• "The service was great and staff friendly, I had the curry which said medium spiced but it was bland unfortunately."

Service

Pros:

• "Staff were fantastic and friendly, the food was excellent."
• "Staff were all well mannered and polite even when busy."
• "Service was great. It was quiet when we arrived for lunch but lots of reservations and people arriving as we were leaving."
• "We had really excellent service from our waitress Caitlin last night."

Cons:

• "So, to sum up, it's a place for the younger generation who don't mind putting up with the noise levels and shear volume of people."
• "Service was a little slow. We were told we would need to order at the table because we were downstairs but we had to go get our own drinks a few times (which is fine) as the waitress was busy."
• "The staff are very polite and friendly, we were in the restaurant area so it was nice and cool there and the food was outstanding I had the pork tenderloin which I would have again and again very nice."
• "Wouldn't allow my 16 year old son to drink a NON ALCOLOHIC Koperberg cider because other customers might THINK he was drinking an alcoholic drink!! What? Pathetic, ridiculous, sad, jobsworth staff who just wanted to be awkward."
