"What a hidden gem! This place is bursting with exceptional customer service, really capturing the essence of Aylesbury. Now for the food… I was feeling a hearty meal and boy let me tell you it was hearty indeed. Starting with the toast, not a fan of the pre-buttered element as the toast was a bit soggy. However it paired well with in the other components. The egg was cooked to my preference, well-done, the sausages were plentiful, and the sprinkle of baked beans was perfect. Improvements could be made with the mushrooms as they were too chewy and over cooked. Furthermore, the bacon (halal) was a little on the crispy side but the smoke element was *chef’s kiss*. Moving on to the hash browns, an extra few minutes in the oven would have been fantastic for the crispy topping. To top it all off the spicy sauce complimented this dish well. Overall a solid 8.7 out of 10. I will be visiting in the near future."

"My husband and I were staying at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham with another couple and decided to eat in the hotel's Swatch restaurant for one evening meal. It turned out to be an excellent decision! The service was outstanding from the moment we entered the restaurant area and the good humour of the Maitre d' served to set the tone for a comfortable and entertaining evening. Although there was some problem with a few aspects of the meals as described on the menu no figs as promised in one starter and no potatoes available the chef managed to offer good alternatives and produced delicious and well presented plates of food for each course. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable experience that we will definitely seek to repeat."

"It lacked atmosphere and ambiance- staff were stiff and didn’t give any welcome to customers as they arrived. Food average and average price. Very quiet in restaurant- but location and decor was good"

"We arrived at the time we had booked, they didn’t have our table reserved so they tried to seat us on another terrace, not the one booked. We asked to be seated on the upper terrace and they managed to seat us but they were very obviously annoyed, and a little rude. Ordered starters and mains which all came out together and when we said we ordered them as starters and mains were told “well that’s not what the order says” they sent them back and whilst we were eating our starters they asked us 4 times if we had finished. Hey presto when the mains came out they were very obviously reheated. There was hot salad on my plate! All the food was going to the wrong tables, wrong orders, the table next to us waited an hour for their drinks. Starters were lovely, mains were not. We ordered more drinks which they got wrong twice, so we left straight after eating what we could. To sum it up an awful evening, almost amusingly so, as it was chaos, the staff minus two lads working were rude and the food was kept under a hot plate. We won’t be returning such a shame as it’s a beautiful setting. One word of advice to the management please ask your waitresses with really long hair to tie it back, there was hair everywhere and we could hear other people saying the same!"

"We celebrated Mother's Day at this restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with chocolates and a lovely Mother's Day card! The food was delicious, making for a very enjoyable meal. I never would have considered booking a hotel restaurant, so I really appreciate OpenTable for helping me secure a reservation at the last minute!"

"It seems that the staff could use a bit more experience. Everyone appeared quite young and inexperienced, except for one young man who seemed genuinely apologetic about the situation and clearly has the potential to be a manager, as he recognized the issues. The service was incredibly slow, the menu was lacking variety, and one of the bartenders had a strong odor, suggesting he hadn’t washed in days, and his clothes were quite wrinkled. The first waitress treated me as if I were at a fast-food restaurant. The food was nearly cold upon arrival, although the dessert was quite good. Breakfast items were excellent but overwhelmed by the large number of patrons; they really should manage bookings better if they’re expecting such crowds. I was even suggested to sit in the bar area, away from the restaurant, with four children, which meant I had to keep walking back and forth to get their meals throughout the morning. I had my wedding there once, and the experience was much better back then. The hotel would benefit from having some more experienced staff and a manager regularly monitoring the situation, especially addressing the issues with the bartending staff. Unfortunately, since the hotel modernization, I’ve consistently experienced poor service during three visits. On a positive note, the rooms were comfortable, and the prices were reasonable. I suppose for a Holiday Inn, it may be acceptable, but it used to be so much better."

"As an IHG Platinum member I chose dine at the hotel restaurant however due to dairy and egg allergies I was very disappointed that the soup was labelled vegan but contained cheese. The vegan burger was labelled vegan but was not and on some menus not all the vegan logo had been crossed out next to the burger! Eventually I asked for bread as none of the vegan options were actually vegan and I was told the bread contained egg and although it was on the menu as an accompaniment for vegan dishes it was not actually vegan. This is unacceptable as anyone with allergies to dairy or eggs could suffer an alergic reaction the these foods and the Vegan."

"What a fantastic service we received! Starting with Reception-Mathew was so lovely and informative. Our room was slightly dated but very clean and comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant to which the staff were lovely. Dinner was very nice and all in good time. The staff all made such a fuss of our little girl who is going through chemotherapy with balloons and even a complementary drink for myself and my husband. We used the playroom which is a great asset to the hotel! Then we had full use of the pool and gym facilities until 2030. Love the team and hotel, definitely coming back. Thankyou"

"I often stay at this hotel but have never finished work early enough to dine in their restaurant. The dining experience was quite enjoyable, with a good selection of dishes to choose from. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern, and the staff is both friendly and professional. My only complaint is that it feels a bit pricey for a hotel restaurant. While the quality of the food is good, it doesn't quite match the standards of the Marco Pierre White hotels that I also frequent. This experience, however, was a pleasant one."

"The whole evening felt chaotic and poorly organised. Several things on the menu were not available. We waited a very long time for our food and drinks. A glass of wine, when it finally came, was not the wine ordered (with no apology). The food was horrible. Salmon hideously overcooked and solid in parts, chewy in others. Bao bun defrosted in the microwave, burger overcooked, duck like old boots. Other bun left in the microwave too long and turned to rock. Wondering if there was a chef in the kitchen at all on this evening. Waitresses doing their best but we were extremely unimpressed."
