"Disappointing that this pub has fallen so far in terms of general standards; I used to enjoy coming here. The food: The food was below average and when I asked if the burgers on the menu were homemade, the staff member didn't know. We opted for pizzas given how good they used to be from the authentic pizza oven on site, but the food was barely warm and lacking flavour. The ice cream sundae for dessert consisted of two very small scoops of ice cream and a small bit of cream that had been whipped to the point of becoming butter. When a jug of water arrived at the table for us, it had a couple of silverfish in it. The service: The service was pleasant enough on the whole in terms of attitude, but there was no actual service itself. I was told after our food had arrived that I could fetch my own cutlery from a table at the other end of the pub which had cutlery boxes on it; if a customer has to go and get their own cutlery, it would be useful to know this before the food arrives. Both food courses were painfully slow to arrive despite the pub being practically empty. Once i had been presented with our bill, i was completely ignored. I eventually went to find a member of staff so that I could pay, and there were several staff just chatting away amongst themselves. When I explained that I wanted to pay, no one seemed particularly bothered. At no point during our visit did we really feel we were being served and looked after as you would have expected. The pub was the quietest I have seen it could have been the time of year, could just be a sign of the poor standards there. Usually I would have a conversation with the venue about my negative experience before leaving a public review, but in response to other poor reviews, the management have claimed to have addressed some of the same issues that we then experienced, which suggests nothing more than lip service and that they just don't care and haven't fixed anything. It is glaringly obvious for all the wrong reasons that this pub recently changed hands/management and they have a lot of work to do."

"Where do I start really?! Firstly, the guy who took me to my table, was extremely rude and aggressive. The who seemed to be the manager had no authorities whatsoever! With her permission, I sat on the next table that he has allocated to me with less cold air from AC, blowing to my head in such a cold night!, but when he came back and saw me, he started interrogating me so angrily in front of my friends, who just arrived and waiting to be sited. I could not even say hello to them and he made me extremely embarrassed Not for him to creat more scenes to avoid more scenes Deborah tables were exactly the same and could have easily been changed. But he would not have it!!!. The starters were half cold and was obvious they have been cooked before and warmed up in h microwave. the pizzas’s were horrible.our food we aware not served at the same time. they brought our drinks, only after we begged them 5 times to 5 different people! We had to bring our own plates and some cutleries etc from the close by drawers Has no Waitrose did, that ! The manager was a female who was rude with terrible attitude, no patience and aggressive too. She would banged the glasses on the table if you had asked for some and had no authorities either. When we asked to speak to the manager regarding all of the shortcomings, she didn’t even bother to come to our table. The staffs were awkward and quite inattentive. In such a small space, the horrible live extremely loud marching drum they played followed by extremely loud music when bring the cake for birthdays was the total torture and could damage your ear drums! They could see most people were so uncomfortable with this that happened at least 4 times last night but did not have any care for customers. I can’t believe they do this to their customers. it is a health hazard. If you have problem with your ears, do not go to this horrible restaurant."

"Our family enjoys fine dining experiences and expect to pay more for good food, service and environment. So we were excited to come here after looking at the menu as the prices were set to what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant! When we arrived we were impressed with the environment but unfortunately that is where it all ended. Service was extremely slow even though there was only two other tables in the restaurant that were occupied! One table with 2 people and the other table with two adults and a child. We had 5 at our table. We ordered our drinks which took approximately 20 minutes to arrive and when we ordered our food that took over 30 minutes to arrive! Thankfully I asked for the starters to come out with the main course and I chose the hogs pudding scotch egg which in all fairness was nice but quite overpriced at £7.95. We also ordered the Rattler cider Glazed sausages which were basically tasteless chipolata's in a cheap apple sauce priced at £8.95! 3 of us had the seafood linguine which was described on the menu as mussels, cod and king prawns in a rich tomato sauce for £19.95. We all had 3 prawns, no cod, but the mussels were generous. The rich tomato sauce was definitely not rich! This dish for the quality in our opinion was easily over priced by at least £10! Then my wife had the chicken Caesar salad which they forgot about and we had to ask almost 10 minutes later so when it eventually cane the chicken was only just thawed which obviously was pre-cooked and then frozen and absolutely tasteless priced at £16.50 and lastly we had twin Finn jerk spiced chicken which can only be described as really not very nice priced at £17.95. We also had crispy squid and a few extra portions of chips on the side and these were just about cooked and were definitely a very cheap frozen variety! So the whole bill with the drinks was over £200 and it really wasn't worth that! When we complained at the till they gave us 10% off the bill which was a kind gesture but really I was looking for 50% for the quality! When we headed downstairs after we paid we noticed a couple of guests were ordering from a takeaway menus. As we have never been here before I asked reception if they have any menus and said anything that has got to be better than we had upstairs, even the reception staff Discreetly agreed by a nod of the head on a roll of the eyes and said no comment! It's a big shame because this restaurant totally lets down this amazing resort. Definitely asked for the takeaway menus !"
