Praise when it's due the "chef" really knows his way around a microwave. We were a table of eight and all our food came out the same time.
Unfortunately all the food was bland, the presentation was very lacklustre. I ordered the steak which was over £25 and you really would get better in wetherspoons. The chips were almost homecooked which was the nicest thing on the plate but still could have done with extra cooking, they were very soggy. One of the specials of the day was Chicken coconut curry which had no flavour, no spice, cheap shop bought Naan and the chicken had been over microwaved. This was all quite expensive my I add.
The jewel in the crown was when I asked for the bill, which I paid but upon receipt I was handed an A4 sheet of paper.
I couldn't believe what I was reading, they wanted every member of our table to sign the disclosure form claiming that if any one of us became will with food poisoning or diarrhoea that they would not be held legally responsible!!!!
I for one have never seen anything like this and is actually illegal as it goes against our statutory rights. I did therefore write JOKE across it.
Unfortunately though the eldest member of our party who was 94 became increasingly concerned as to what we had just eaten and what was going to happen, to be honest we all were. I mentioned to the waitress that this is actually worrying and she smiled and said "it's part of their food and hygiene policy " I'm sorry but that has nothing to do with food or hygiene!! Shall never...
Read moreWell I had high hopes when I looked at the reviews... How wrong could they be... In my case I took my wife there thinking she'll get a really nice posh meal at them prices.. bonus points I thought.... Unfortunately that was not the case. So I start with the Pros
Pros The View is absolutely outstanding. The serving lady was happy enough. Parking was great. Plenty of space
Cons No table service, Pay on every item each time. Dirty items, fluff & sticky stuff over salt & pepper shakers. Staff having breaks playing on there phones in there cleaning uniform with the customers. Not up to par food for price.
My Experience.
My wife's chicken was so unbelievably dryer, was like it had been microwaved multiple times. Her chips tho were good. Her drink had floating bits in it that was not ment to be there.
My burger was ok and the fries were ok but my latte was like drinking coloured water.
The prices for this food was unbelievable, a burger at £17.65 was mental. I've had better for £5 at weather spoons. I've had top £ burgers from an award winning pub 30mins away from here for £1.65 cheaper. I think the prices need to reflect the food and then it would maybe be ok.
Would I have had a refund if I complained, who knows, didn't want the hassle, was supposed to be a nice day, so we left.
Will I go back.............. Alot would have to change and that hygiene rating would have to be bold for me to see.
But yes I would if...
Read moreGood location. Shame about the food. Inappropriate vegetables served with main course. Fruit crumble (not quite done correctly) got served with custard!!!!! (not cream). Suspect the coffee is instant and not even basic "real" - never mind the different modern variants on "real". So there was plenty of it - but that was the only thing right about it. Old-fashioned/badly done. So no I won't be eating there again. Shame to have such a good location wasted. All 5 of us in the party felt the meal left something to be desired. Management subsequently stated in response to Trip Advisor that it was quite clear on the menu what the pudding accompaniment was - and that is not the case, as I still have the "Christmas Party" menu there on my emails and no accompaniment is stated at all (hence assuming that, of course, it...
