Clubhouse restaurant — Restaurant in Melton

Have been here twice for food and both times have been disappointed. The first time was for a carvery and the vegetables were lukewarm and watery and just not pleasant.

We tried again last night and went at 6.30, ordered starters which were ok. Shortly after about 40 people came in for Christmas meals. After a bit of a wait our meals (Not Christmas meals) were brought out. The only positive was they were piping hot. My partner and I ordered bacon and cheese burgers and chips. They chips were ok however the burger wasn't. It tasted like it had been fried in oil that had been left in the pan too long. We only ate about a quarter of it. My sister in law had BBQ chicken that was absolutely swimming in sauce, there was just way too much that it was overpowering.

Once we finished we were sat waiting for our plates to be cleared and order a dessert in the hopes they were better. However after 15 minutes of waiting, due to the staff (there was only 3 waiters on) dealing with all the customers having Christmas meals, we just paid and left. You get what you pay for, but I won't be...

AVOID AVOID AVOID! Christmas Day dinner was an absolute shambles! Prawn cocktail looked like a pile of cat sick on a plate with 2 triangles of bread slapped on each side. Main course was a carvery which by just after 1pm had run out of turkey, pigs in blankets and some veg. The managers answer to this was “well it is a carvery”. What was left was swimming in grease, roast potatoes were white and greasy, brussels were rock hard, gravy had solidified! Manager was rude and would not take any responsibility or offer any resolution just poked his fingers in our meal (nice man) Absolutely zero atmosphere and lights being switched off to get rid of us. Save your money and cook at home this was the worst meal ever! The manager (I say that in the loosest of terms) did not offer any resolution and has continuously ignored our emails/letters of complaint. What happened to ‘the customer is always right?’ ZERO STARS ⭐️ ON ALL ASPECTS!! Take no notice of this review...

Been three times in the last month for an evening meal. Experience has been consistent. Lovely friendly staff, although a little stretched. Good selection on the menu which should please most people and most things are great value. I can vouch for the fish and chips, lasagne , lamb shank and burgers as being very tasty and good portion size. On some evenings a free pudding is included. The puddings are all cold puddings in a chilled cabinet where you help yourself. On our last visit you could sense the pudding anxiety across some of the bigger tables with nervous glances from diners during their main courses to check what puddings were left. Some scurried off to grab their desired desserts during their mains and some had more than one. Quite funny to watch but personally I'd suggest they keep the puddings in the kitchen and serve...
