"We arrived upon recommendation from a local restaurant as they were fully booked. As we walked through the restaurant doors, the room was decorated as if expecting a children’s birthday party. We were greeted by an enthusiastic staff member dressed as a pirate, who escorted us to a table. We were offered drinks and told it was a buffet service. Without doubt the poorest buffet selection we have ever experienced! Nothing was labelled to explain what we were eating. Staff were clueless not only on what food was sat festering on a hot plate but also struggled with the simplest of questions like, “Where is your restroom?” Although there were plenty of staff members in the room, no one seemed able to perform any duties without supervision from a man in a suit, whom I presume to be the manager? Food was quite simply disgusting! Everything was lukewarm and the rice was still rock solid and uncooked. All throughout dinner we were interrupted with pirate jokes and constant attempted entertainment, in spite of the obvious distress of the two young children at our table. However, the pirate did apologise and bring our oldest child a chocolate coin. If only he had learned from this and given the table some space, by the end of the meal I felt like offering him a seat to join us as he was hovering so often. Upon payment we waited at the desk to pay our bill, being igonored by staff for a very long time. When the aforementioned man in a suit was called to attend to us, he was shocked to hear that we were not guests of the hotel and we were made to feel like an inconvenience for merely visiting the restaurant as passers by! All in all a very disappointing and bizzare experience which was definitely not worth the £15 a head! We would not recommend to others and will definitely not be returning!"

"All went well for the first part of our visit. Orders taken, food delivered and delicious. But then it seemed we were forgotten for the rest of the time we were there. No check backs, no opportunities to order anything additional, and we had to go up to the bar to ask for our check."
