"The Real Deal! This place has it all for for a great gastronomic experience. Completely refurbished with a charm of elegance and welcome home feel that puts you at ease to relax and ready to enjoy what's to come. The atmosphere and ambience is further enhanced by the warm welcome and most attentive individual attention that I have not experienced in such an establishment for a long time. I came first time with my family and were not disappointed with the range and quality of food available. Good range of beers on tap and bottled, with added bonus of cocktails. The missus had gin-based cocktail which ticked all her boxes. The current menu range was more than ample to satisfy us, and were advised the menu range was to be extended very shortly. Our starters included fish pakora (large with super crispy batter), a massive mixed grill plate; we ordered extra plate of lamb kebabs as they were so succulently tasty. The Masala chips were an excellent side dish too. Each item was very will cooked, perfectly spiced and without all that bright red false food colouring often used by lesser establishments. Main course included an exceptional lamb curry dish and a lamb keema dish that had peas freshly popped from their pods. The naans were fresh, light and thin and perfect companion for the lamb dishes. Although we were stuffed by this stage, the desserts looked too good to bypass, and we were not wrong. The brownie, locally made, with ice cream was an indulgent delight. All throughout, the level of service impeccable, the food hot and fresh and tasty, the environment and atmosphere all came together to make this an unexpectedly wonderful and memorable experience. We will definitely be adding this to our must do again list."

"So we were in Le Monde hotel before we get our train home. We had some snacks and drinks. Nice big armchairs with nice fire on. Nice blether with the waiter. Five minutes before we are due to leave. A female member of staff came over and said ‘ it’s against regulations for your wife to be sitting with her eyes closed’ . I asked what regulations and she said licensing regulations. I said I thought she was talking nonsense. Then a manager came over and reiterated we were breaking the law because Jenny had her eyes closed. My initial thought was surely it’s common in a hotel lounge for someone to be sitting with their eyes closed after eating. Anyway aforementioned manager said we couldn’t sit like this. I said I thought he was being stupid. He told me not to swear at him. I asked what swearword I used and he replied you called me stupid. That was cue for us to get up and walkout without paying. We were incredibly offended. Now if someone had come over and asked if my wife was ok I wouldn’t have thought that unreasonable. I would have said we are leaving in five minutes. I asked the waiter who looked after what he thought of the way we were treated and he said shocking. We said our protests were not a reflection on him in any way as he was a good ambassador. Interestingly there was another couple sitting across from us who said the treatment we got was appalling. The female member of staff had stuck a card on their table which was asking them to vacate their table in a little while. No mention of why to the patrons using the lounge when she put card on table. When they complained, they were told a regular comes in and expects that table. So a lounge with perhaps 8-10 tables, with two occupied, demonstrated how to offend all their customers. I still cannot believe how appalling this establishments customer care is but I will never ever, out of principle, enter that establishment again. When one satisfied customer leads to another. I cannot believe people could be so inept with customer care and communication skills. That’s regulations for you. Sleeping police no less, what next ?"
