"I booked this for a reunion and despite receiving confirmation of the booking the hotel called and asked for a credit card to secure the booking I find this unreasonable as it doesn't state this anywhere, also it was completely unnecessary as there were only two other people in the restaurant when we arrived so they are clearly not overbooked! On arrival they joined together tables for us and we were told that there was no high chair. We ordered food and drink with neither arriving for 10 mins or so, when it did arrive it was just the water minus a glass. I ordered freshly squeezed orange juice which tasted as if it was mixed with concentrate, it certainly wasn't like any freshly squeezed orange juice I have had before and I have had a lot! The orange juice and tea took another 5 mins to arrive. The food took an absolute age and despite us all eagerly chatting we all noticed the length delay. When the food arrived it was lukewarm and very mediocre. I ordered poached eggs and brown toast and I received 2 eggs and a slice of barely cooked white bread on a plate equivalent to a tea plate in size whereas the other food was on normal sized dinner plates. I was then brought some barely toasted brown bread that looked as though it was from a basic/savers range. The Eggs Benedict looked good but was also cold and rather tasteless. The light version of eggs royale was only ok. The french toast with fruit was brilliant however, it was a generous portion, the right temperature and tasted lovely. Our party was very relaxed but none of us were impressed by the service and most of us were unimpressed with the food. We also thought it was strange that there was an almost wall sized TV showing sport..."

"we have always eaten in the ship inn on the way back from south wales because it was a beautiful, typical rustic English pub. the former owner mike and his manager and chef, jane, new her profession and exactly what her customers wanted to eat simple, very tasty English kitchen and comfort. it has been for three years and in this time it has changed the hands. Oh, my God, there is our once good experience finished. it is now called 'boutique ' pub'. it has been re-designed and refurbished, obviously on a limited budget and the menu has changed. we must say that the renovation in our humble opinion is unhappy. it is cheap and sticky and we were shocked that the beautiful old English wooden beams were painted in a fungal emulsion paint and the new seats are a purple crushed velvet type material with a ring on the back? was that to fasten your dog? it looks really cheap and sticky. How bad. there were four of us, one has not eaten, two had the homemade rindburger and I had the filet steak with pfeffergrass sauce. which for a compassion did not match the ambiente of the place with the eating. my steak was perfectly cooked and tasted really delicious. the burgers were made definitiw to house, but the 'consumers' did not like the taste of a crust / ingredients in them. I personally thought it would be very nice, apart from the fact that it was served on a crooked one! what are there with restaurants today? sloping, bowling, wooden blocks? Why can't we just eat from a teller? sadly not prepared the old comfort food dishes like jane (bodied juices, steak and nierenpudding, leber and speck etc. but never less what we ate in this week was pretty good. because the ambiente and the character of the place have been completely ruined, unfortunately we will not return. unnecessary to say there was not another soul at the place from beginning to end. to put the last nail in the sarg for us, they no longer sell hobson's beer!!! sacrilege!"
