"Ate here for dinner on a Friday Night, and Breakfast Saturday whilst staying at adjacent Premier Inn.There are a number of restrictions due to Covid-19. For example, separate enttrance and exit routes, no cutlery on the table when you arrive, and food is brought to the table in a different way. I have no problem with any of this, as it is Government regulation, and although not ideal, it has to be.What I did have issues around was the stupidly limited menu offered for dinner. It was unimaginative and featured 4 very bland starters, about 15 mains and about 6 desserts. The limited menu could have more imaginative offerings and sell them to the customer in a more attractive manner.When the food did arrive, (after a 35 minute wait from ordering), it was poorly presented, and the cooking was decidely average. Generally the service seemed very slow, and one could get the impression that the management were running with too few staff, by keeping most of them furloughed at the Government expense!For breakfast, we were not presented with any form of menu, and when a waiting staff memebr did present at the table, they offered a list of cooked breakfast itemms, and did we want youghurt? There was no mention of cereals, although another member of staff offered cereals to an adjacent table. Why no printed disposable menu??? Normally, it would be a buffet service, but as that is impossible under Covid regs, why not print menus? They do for dinner!The breakfast when it did arrive was less than good quality. Poached eggs were snotty and undercooked, the toast had been waved in front of a heat source, rather than been browned off, and the beans were clearly not Heinz, and tasted disgusting. To cap it all a membber of the waiting staff firstly demanded in a very aggressive manner; DO you want more juice? Surely, a softer approach of Can I serve you some more orange juice would be less intimidating? The sma member of staff later returned, and agressivelydemanded whether we wanted any pastries. When we declined, she said You can take them with you... are you sure ? I 'm sure the management don 't condone customers taking food away with them!All in all, poor expereince, and we won 't be back."
