"I’ve been to Middletons a few times before and always a had a good experience/food. I was looking forward to the meal all week. First thing I said when we sat down was ‘this is a cosy table of 8’ our elbows were literally touching the next table. Felt uncomfortable having any sort of conversation as everyone was looking. None of the spot lights above us were turned on, we had to turn the torch on our phones on to read the menu, as did people either side of us. The only section in the restaurant with no lights on. We were told when booking and when we arrived that the table had to be back by 8.30. Starters came out 7.16pm we joked and said we’d be out by 7.45pm if it’s this quick. Wrong! We had to ask for our mains at 8.05pm. The veg in my halloumi and veg skewers was slightly warm and didn’t looked grilled at all. We asked for some more drinks in the long gap as we were getting thirsty and the waitress brought over someone else’s and even read out our correct drinks from the ticket and apologised. When I got my mains of steak and chicken with jacket and greens.. the chicken was half the size I’ve previously had and dry, steak was fine. Greens were cold and crunchy and potato was raw and hadn’t been baked in the oven at all and rushed in the microwave. Waitress was very apologetic and replaced these straight away. Both male and female toilets had a cubicle that needed assistance. Lighting in there was so bad that my husband walked in to another man as they just couldn’t see. When we also got up to leave, we knocked everything off the next table as they were so close, so that was embarrassing picking it all up. We should have asked for money off but just wanted to get out of there. This is the first time we haven’t tipped in a restaurant ever and my husband joked it was that bad he feels like setting up a trip advisor account just to leave a review. What a shame. As it was Valentine’s Day, I feel we’ve all been crammed in and rushed out. We certainly got forgotten."

"a table for a rare night as a group of four. another group of four were the only other customers. wein order right immediately followed by our food order. 40 minutes later, it was necessary to ask for something more wein, as has not been checked since. after another 25 minutes some of our food arrived, but not all. the salads arrived without dressing so we asked for some. I was offered mayo or pesto dressing for a nikoise, but especially for a French dressing. some more food came followed by some pesto dressing when I was reused for a French dressing was asked what that was?! I excavated some oil balm. a diver escape was served hard with cold kartoffels, so that was sent back and a suppe reordered in the hope, it would be fast, it wasn't. the other table of the customers also had problems, especially the order of sea bass fillets from a whole fish. instead of the cook that took it out of the bone for her, they made her order something else crazy eating waste. the waitress seemed to have only a limited autority when we asked to talk to someone else, said the cook couldn't speak English. she was understandably annoyed that both customers were happy while she was not the most attentive waitress I felt for her that she was left with the training or skills to deal with things. how can a restaurant with the ability to sit about 30, not cope with 8 diners? they annoyed the owners who wanted to come, but a little later we said they couldn't make it. we paid for the two bottles wein left disappointed not back."
