Cons:

  • "Visited the Seared Castle for the opening weekend this Friday and really disappointing."
  • "Sat in the small seating area on the left as you walked in through the main entrance. Very nasty sewage smell was hanging in the air."

  • "Overpriced chain boozer with sticky, dirty surfaces throughout and dismal, filthy, stinking toilets."
  • "Went to a wedding reception... Not a particularly elegant place and it is odd that you need to ask the barman for a key to use the toilet - which was filthy."
  • "Even the toilets were rubbish with no running water in the disabled toilets and laminate floor sliding around."

Service & Staff

  • "Kate and the other staff were all very polite, professional and friendly they are an asset to your company."

Cons:

  • "Service was poor as we waited at the bar for a while."
  • "Waited 15 minutes to order a drink at the table, gave up and tried to order on the app only to find there was no table number on the table so app order was impossible."
