The Marquis Cornwallis Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food and drinks at this establishment exceeded my expectations in every way."
• "A great pork belly sunday dinner, really tasty."
• "The food was actually very good."
• "This place serves really great fish (haddock) and chips which are nicely seasoned."
• "The buffet spread was great variety and really nice tasty food."
• "Delicious food all round. I had the Roast Beef which was succulent and tasty and my wife had roast Hake which was also cooked to perfection."
• "The best fish and chips I’ve ever had- they were also very conscious of my crustacean allergy."

Cons:

• "The food was ok but we ordered a pint of the draught cider (Henry Weston's) and it was like literal dish water."
• "The food is pretty poor. Shared a burger, fries and wings. The fries were ok if under seasoned. The burger was terrible."
• "Vegetarian selection was limited and my nut roast was not great."
• "Food was less than average. Fatty soggy pork belly, black pudding bon bons missing."
• "It was like they went to Iceland and microwaved the 'food'. One of our group even found a large black hair in her meal."
• "Food on the other hand is not good at all, especially considering the price."
• "Burger was so overcooked and dry, tasted more like charcoal."

Cons:

• "The service beyond the ridiculousness of having to pay for meals for people who weren't there, was non-existent."
