"Newcastle Village Hotel, you can’t REALLY expect to deliver a shoddy cash-grabbing experience like the party of 09/12/2017 and not be called out on it. £30.00 for a turkey dinner? Maybe, for a quality Norfolk bird with ALL the trimmings cooked to perfection; absolutely NOT for this spew. In fact the difference between what it said on the menu and what was served up is so brazen that one can almost admire the cheek of it. The “Proscuitto Wrapped Turkey Breast” was not wrapped in ANYTHING: it was just cheap-tasting turkey breast, like cash and carry stuff. Likewise the “pigs in blankets” HAD NO BLANKETS: They were just cocktail sausages, and not quality ones but the type that contain trotters, ears and lips. The stuffing made Paxo taste like the work of a culinary master by comparison, and the only things I’ve EVER tasted that were soggier than the roast potatoes were the roast parsnips in the next tray along. I can’t comment on the sprouts or carrots as I don’t like either: it would have been nice to have had a greater choice. When the hotel emailed us the menu weeks earlier it asked about any dietary needs, so we advised that one of our party had a gluten intolerance. If he expected a bespoke meal he was sadly mistaken: on the night he was just told not to eat the sausages or the stuffing. Two and a half hours later, following complaints, the man who seemed to be in charge offered to knock up some gluten-free pasta. It was way too late by then. To be fair this has been my experience of Christmas parties over the years: the food is invariably overpriced and substandard yet enough people are persuaded to cough up in advance to make them highly lucrative ventures. It’s a cynical business, and the Village Hotel is down there with the worst of them. Oh yeah, and my cracker contained this tiny little spinning top."

"DisgustEd and utter disappointment in the way my party of four were treated . I had booked a table for 4 people at midday as a treat for my parents before going to Strickly come dancing today. when we arrived there was a board closing of the restaurant and so we went into the bar where we approached and told the restaurant was going to be full with an oil company function and waved away to find ourselves a table in the bar. My parents are elderly and can not manage up to the high tables so we eventually found a round table for the four of us to sit. The table and chairs were dirty and covered with food. I had to go and find someone to come and clean the table and chairs. We chose our food and after a while went to the bar to see if someone was going to serve us to discover we had to order at the bar. The final straw was when we tried to order they didn’t have what we would like for our meal. There was no explanation or apologies for not having a table for us in the restaurant, for the table and chairs being dirty, no service or explanation that we had to order our food at the bar and no apology for not having what we would like to order for our meal. We collected our jackets and left. We had a lovely meal with great service elsewhere. Totally appalled at the lack of customer service and when speaking to others it would appear we are not the only ones."

"I think the staff here don’t get enough credit for the amazing job they do. You won’t find staff like this in any other Starbucks. Nick in particular is so patient and so kind and so knowledgeable. He thinks nothing of helping anybody and is always so professional. On one single day I saw him tending to a disabled customer repeatedly, including helping the customer sit down safely (the customer has visual difficulties), helping explain which sandwiches were available (remembering the customers favourites) and generally tending to them whilst also serving others. On that same shift a customer came in half an hour after closing asking for a ‘green drink that looks like pondwater’. The customer questioned the closing time and hovered around with no regard for the fact he had said the place was closed but he had offered to make anything he could with the equipment still turned on. Fifteen minutes later as we left he was still helping this customer figure out what she wanted, well beyond closing time when he really didn’t have to. He endlessly goes above and beyond and he’s never remotely unattentive. It’s worth mentioning Rob as well who is always cheerful, chatty and working hard. It’s just a lovely Starbucks and somehow the drinks always taste better than elsewhere too. Maybe it’s the kindness of the staff I don’t know but, it’s quite the hidden treasure in chillwell."

"I was in Reading to view an office building. It was a warm day so i popped in to the bearby Creams in Reading on my way to the car park. Ive visited many Creams in towns all over the South East and this one has the same expensive design and big store size. Sadly this one also had the rudest most surly inefficient staff ive ever come across. As an employer myself of some 40 plus staff I wonder how this business will survive with such staff. I wemt to order as per attached receipt) cookie dough...immediately the man behind the counter was ignoring me talking with his friend behind me....than arrogantly with no hello no eye contact he asked me for my order....I told him in clear concise terms triple treat cookie dough for table 8 eating in again no eye vontact it didnt seem to be registering and i was starting yo feel unease. I repeated and he took the money and i went to sit at table 8. 15 minutes went by and a lady shouted out from far away are you takeaway i said no eating in . Another 10 monutes later she stomped over and asked me again takeway i said ive already told you eating in. She asked me what i ordered i told her and this ignorant sour faced lady informed me id asked for a takeaway. In the background i could see behind her the same surly tall slim young man whod tajen my order so nonchalantly....i felt i was veing intimidated so i said to the lady i didnt order a takeaway youve made a mistaje and i dont appreciate your rude bolshy way. I left not wanting a scene In my 25 minute wait for nothing i noted there are more staff than customers . One of them had his bare arm in a machine to swirl water. I left without a refund as i wasnt offered one. Horrible experience horrid staff i wont be visiting creams in reading ever again."

"I visited pub and grill bar in other village hotels, but that was my first visit. to say I was disappointed, is an understatement. I booked well in advance for table. when I arrived, no table was booked, even if one of the employees brought my reservation on his tablet and I had previously confirmed my reservation. I was told to find one table and sit there. as they want, it was very busy because of football and rugby. After we wait for table to become available, we have settled. After waiting for someone to come to us (what they did not) I went to cash and explained that we included our meal in our stay and which menu we could use. I was told that they always used and one was pointed to me. we choose our eating and patiently waited at the bar for 15 minutes, just to say that we had the wrong menu it was a set menu from which we had to choose. I went back to my party of 6 and asked her to choose again. back to the bar for another 15 minutes waiting and ordered our food. after a 35-minute waiting period, our starters came out. After we had waited five minutes for my starter who was humous, we ate. our main meal began minus the cheese on our burgers, for which we paid extra. my daughter waited for her 10 minutes after we got ours. when we ask where her meal was, we were told that we were sorry we forgot to get out. when she got her steak, they had forgotten the pfeffer sauce. ! after completing our main course 2 of my party had paid for dessert, it was obvious to wait after another 20-minute, it was not appearing. until now it was 10.45 we had our table for 8 o'clock booked. when I approached a worker, no apology or explanation was offered about the series of failures. we had booked a night to meet the family. to celebrate the 30th birthday of my daughter. that has proved to be a sniff. I'm sure they can understand why my party of 6 was so disappointed."

"I’m rather snobby when it comes to pizza, I only consume pizza that is of outstanding Italian restaurant quality. I will never order it when I am of sound state of mind. Being the 20 year old I am however means I engage in “binge drinking” and clubbing. This often leaves me being in a state of mind that is not sound given the impacts of alcohol. I am prone to being in desperation for food when I conclude these nights of drinking and debauchery, anything I can consume that is non toxic is holy like the bread given out by Jesus at the last supper. I find myself in the company of someone I do not know, in a place I am unfamiliar with. Takeout pizza is often the solution to this dilemma and with great shame I have resorted many times to ordering subpar pizza. I digress. I ordered my first pizza from this establishment last night. I was tired, hungry and depressed. I certainly was in no hurry to do anything productive such as cook myself dinner. Alas, the hunger I could take no more and at the point of starvation I was given no choice but to turn to takeout. Pizza was my only option given that the only thing I despise more than bad pizza is Chinese takeaway. I don’t even order that when drunk. Begrudgingly I searched for pizza, I realised I was stuck with Dominos or Papa Johns. The shame in ordering pizza this time was greater than ever before as I didn’t have the excuse of being drunk and being somewhere I didn’t know. It felt like an assault on my sense of taste, given that I insist on only the highest quality pizza as previously mentioned. It only added to my sadness, but my hunger was too great. By the grace of god I found a third option that gave me another local option. Dodo pizza. Perchance I give it an opportunity. After all it could not be any worse than Dominos and Papa Johns. I have been writing this for an ungodly amount of time now, so I hope given my utter hate for takeaway pizza it helps emphasise how pleased I was with my experience. I shall get to the point. My two margherita pizzas arrived, one thin crust and one normal (bogof for your first order on THEIR app , not just eat, which is the reason for two). It came within an incredibly short time, I hope that doesn’t mean you don’t get much business as you deserve more than other places. I opened the and my eyes noticeably widened in surprise at how good it looked in comparison to other chains. I tried both pizzas, the crust and thickness were good on both. Not the standard of restaurant pizza but incredibly good given it is takeaway. It was light and not too heavy like you’d usually expect. The sauce was flavourful and has a nice sharpness to it. Cheese was well distributed, not too thick and rubbery. They make a pizza that I don’t have to feel ashamed of ordering sober. I cba writing a decent closing to this now but know it’s better than other chains and I would recommend it to anyone after a takeaway"
