Broomhall Hutt — Restaurant in England

This pub has had a variable background, veering between some highs (the original Broomhall Hutt and the original Sunningdale Lounge) and some abysmal lows - the last being the Sunningdale Lounge mark two.

So luckily the 'new' Broomhall Hutt is on the upward trend. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food and drinks are good, the establishment clean and inviting. The Sunday lunch is very popular with a good choice of roasts, all of which come with a selection of vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes.

Since my first review of 4 stars the quality of the Sunday lunch has gone down. On our last visit both the meat and the vegetables were over cooked and there was a strong sense of microwave. That, along with change in ambience makes me feel that the Broomhall Hutt is not quite as good as it was when it first opened. I do hope it can...

Had high hopes based on reviews and location but had a disappointing meal here. Service was very slow, took an hour and a half for main meals to come out and even then the fish and chips was inedible. Had to send it back while the rest of the table were eating and second version wasn’t much better - would not recommend if you like it lightly battered, great if you like it burnt and crispy. Starters were nice (prawns, squid and mixed platter). They took the fish and chips off the bill as gesture of good will, but we were surprised to receive the bill with extra drinks on that we hadn’t ordered - good job we checked before paying... all in all, went away...

We visited on a Sunday night and despite there only being 6 other people in there is was so loud that it made it hard to hear each other. The staff were grumpy and unless talking to their mates (the 6 people in the bar) they couldn't have been less interested and spent most of their time sat down poking their phone. The lager was OK, Guinness not great, but the worst but was how dirty the pub is. Definitely best not to look too close a the upholstery of the chairs or touch the tables - and what is that smell? It's such a shame as it should be an absolute gem of a pub given the location, but sadly it seems to be...
