"On first impressions, lovely place in the village, lovely rooms, very clean, comfy bed, the room I was in, lovely decor, this was booked by my workplace we thought breakfast was included within the price they paid, in the morning of leaving we ordered a full English breakfast which was £11.50, we also had a pot of tea, fresh orange juice toast, when we came to check out, my bill was £17.50, I have never stayed anywhere where I've had to pay extra for a cup of tea, it's normally included within your breakfast price, so please don't be fooled by these extra prices for a pot of tea, fresh orange juice toast, also no cereal available, which is unusual for an establishment not too offer, so this is the reason why I haven't given it 5 star rating, as I thought this was quite disappointing in my opinion, otherwise not a bad hotel, this was a work trip, I can't comment for the menu as we ate elsewhere on the evening, but I just wanted others to know before they maybe ordered the above items. Just giving my honest opinion of my overall stay."

"Visited here for lunch with friends to celebrate a special occasion. We chose the 3 course meal deal for approx £23.95 each. The food was amazing. Each course was so tasty and well presented. Couldn’t fault at all. The service from the female waitress was great and she was very friendly and chatty. The restaurant was clean and other staff also friendly. Would definitely recommend this place."

"We went for a family meal, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered several starters which all came and were very nice. The mains arrived(ish) they dropped one of the meals so that came later these things happen. The special Swordfish ..was as dry as a bone, this was returned and the chef re.cooked the dish and sent a new meal out which was cooked to perfection and lovely, which begs the question Why was the original dish even served The Calzone was not very pleasant it was over powered with ricotta cheese to the degree that the other fillings were unnoticeable, however we didn't complain as they were obviously having a difficult evening! This was one of our many visits to this restaurant, had this been the first time it would have been the last."

"came twice a day here (since midday and then again later in the evening). visited during a 7-day boat holiday. such a nice friendly atmosphere here, the burger and chips were delicious. I drank san miguel and later in the evening, came out again for drinks and teller of chips, then sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. large quantities and quality. the service is not correct, although with serving meals, only wish that they eat the time so that we all close to eat the same on our table. there were 4 of us and 2 dinners first came 5 minutes later someone else and last mine lasted the longest 10 minutes, while everyone had almost finished their dinner and was on their second drink. If I'm ever back, I'll be back."

"Myself and my partner visited on the 30th of November where were served by Chloe, she was very attentive and not overbearing! She clearly had a tough day talking to her whist paying, I would like to say she was excellent and a credit to this business! Having working in restaurants as management for 16 years and a small time in this business she was one of the best! I know how expectant the public can be and for minimum wage no one should be made to cry at work in what is a demanding industry, Chloe you were excellent and I hope you get this review is read out to you! Oh and my partner just had just recovered from a massive operation and this was her first real night out and was made to feel very welcome, well done young lady Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"This is a fantastic restaurant located on the south bank of the River Clyde, offering stunning views of the river and Dumbarton Rock. There's plenty of parking available, and Langbank station is just a short walk to the west. While the prices are higher, reflecting its status as a more upscale dining option, the quality of both the food and the overall experience justifies it. The waiting staff were not only knowledgeable but also friendly and entertaining. I highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return frequently."

"We haven't eaten at the Bell Inn for some time. However, as we were passing we popped in with no table reservation. Asked for a table for two and we were quickly seated. The staff are friendly and attentive. The Menu has changed since we...were last in and has reduced in options considerably however, there is probably something for everyone. Two for one is still available on main courses and as a bonus they do Blue Light discount, you can't complain about that. We ordered two 10oz rump steaks served with chips, onion rings, peas and a mushroom. You can order sauces for your steaks if you wish. The steaks were nicely cooked, overall not a bad meal. We were too full for desert."

"my wife and I spend about 3 months in northumberland, visit a series of beauty spots, historical sites and equally important to look for great restaurants. our internet research and talks with locals led us to the old boat house in...Amble to lunch. the location of the restaurant (right on the coast) and near a series of interesting huts that houses a lot of objects was immediately attractive. this was given by entering into the restaurant and a very warm welcome by the staff and a table directly on the harbour. all very positiw, but this was just the prelude for some amazing food. we chose the common seafood plate – a huge wooden tablet with a whole lobster, perfectly cooked sea crumbs, lindisfarne oysters, roll mop herings, smoked makrele, hot cold smoked salmon, shetland mussels and delicious broken fish goujons roy pawns with delicious freshly baked freshly baked we would have stopped (should) after this amazing display of delicious food, but we ended the order of desserts – they were also delicious and glad that we did not leave. we can recommend a visit to the old boat house for a culinary extravaganza!"

"I was really looking forward to visiting this 'gastro-pub ' especially as it advertised a decent choice of vegan options which could even be made gluten free with a request to the server. Two of the vegan options were not available, one because 'the mash wasn 't vegan and the chef can 't make anymore ' and one because the pasta wasn 't vegan, it had egg in it. It took a while each time to be informed each choice wasn 't available. The 'vegan wellington ' was basically just pastry and veg (most places would make this with lentils for protein) so I was left with a choice of a very expensive burger or very expensive salad. I 'm just glad I didn 't need to start asking about gluten free options too! The waiter seemed to have no idea what was in the dishes or which ones were available. Very disappointing. I only gave it 2 stars as the kids seemed happy with their very expensive burgers."

"50th (golden) wedding anniversary! What to do that was extra special? Dilemma sorted: answer? Book Sunday Lunch in the Hotham Room for the immediate family at the Pipe and Glass, no expense spared. We were seven altogether including two grandchildren. None of us had been there before, so it was a bit of a gamble. From start to finish, we knew we had made the right choice. Excellent customer service, kind and friendly without over doing it. There was no rush at any time, and things ran very smoothly in beautiful surroundings. We started in the Chef's Library with pre-lunch drinks, and the canapes which were beyond gorgeous. The Sunday Lunch was splendid. A kings feast! Four of us chose roast sirloin for the main course, and one chose the pork loin. The little ones were beautifully catered for, and ate everything. The deserts were all delightful, causing a bit of an argument as to which one was the best. Five Reasons to Love Chocolate won by a whisker. Many thanks to the chef and kitchen staff for the great food, and to the front of house staff for impeccable customer service to ensure a wonderful, memorable Golden Wedding Anniversary experience."

"We visit this restaurant every sixth Friday when our dog is being cared for. I had the hunch to try their fish and chips, and I was delighted by how beautifully battered and crispy they were. We often bring our older friend, who absolutely loves the toffee banoffee pie. I also brought my family along, and they all enjoyed their meals; the melon cheesecake was particularly refreshing. My partner prefers simpler dishes, so they sometimes make her sausages and chips, and she loves the spicy ones. The staff is always very polite and incredibly helpful."

"The stars are for the staff who were lovely. My friend and I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. They arrived my friend had about 10 beans on her potato i didn't fare much better. Sent them back, was told they were doing a new order. We had at least 15 beans on this occasion and a bit of melted mild cheese. Wish I had taken a photo as the filling was minute. Won't be going back."

"Me and my hubby went to the cattle and cocktail for the first time tonight, and to say it was an amazing meal is a huge understatement. Not only was the steak cooked to perfection (perfectly pink), but the staff were absolutely fantastic. Welcoming, with friendly conversation and brilliant service. The decor was stunning, and the whole evening left us excited to return. Truly beautiful night. Thank you to the amazing service staff and chef. We will be back in a few weeks to celebrate our anniversary"

"We would like to express a specoal thanks to the waitress Eva who served us for a late Sunday Lunch today (9/04/23) she was very helpful , courteous,and attentive to our table from the point of arrival to departure. We were celebrating a birthday and Easter Sunday together as a family. Our review would have been higher if the food had been better. We had pre ordered as members of our group wanted roast dinner and 2 did not..despite me calling ahead twice a few days before their was a misunderstanding about one of the meal options. Although the portions sizes were plentiful the plates were dowsed in gravy which made the meals very soggy to eat so we did feel disappointed. We didnt feel the need to mention this as Eva had provided a good service. The desserts were delightful."

"Service was absolutely terrible. We waited and waited and waited... Even though we booked a table for it was after when we finally got someone to acknowledge we'd arrived and were shown to a table. Then we waited again. Got our drinks fifteen...minutes later, and placed our order. Waited half an hour for a small starter. Then waited another half an hour for one of the worst main courses I've ever had. Extremely salty chicken in barbecue sauce, a fatty strip of bacon, bit of coleslaw, and luke warm chips. It was dry and absolute rubbish. The service was abysmal, the food poor quality, it was noisy and dirty and an utter shambles. Never again."

"We had a family lunch at the Rick Stein 's restaurant in Winchester on the 2nd June, 2024, and went for 3 set menus. Fish cakes from the starter (cod) and main course (salmon) were both very dry, gaspacho was ok but the taste was far from what should cost over 9GBP. But the 'cherry on top was the Spelt risotto that was really bad: the vegetables were over-cooked and soggy, parmesan was grated before the plate was served and did not look as freshly grated. It may sound alright for some guests but this is not your local pub! Green beans do not need to be boiled until soggy! This is the place that charges 50GBP for a plate of fish! I did not raise concern on the day as I was there with two kids who are getting excited about fine dining and I did not want to ruin their experience. I do not think the restaurant is run by Rick Stein but it is rather a franchise where chefs who cannot cook or can 't be bothered, and use Rick 's name instead to charge a fortune for a 'bad pub meal . Very disappointed, will not recommend and will not come back."

"We celebrated an intimate birthday dinner here yesterday, and were quite impressed with the experience. The food tasted amazing! I had the chicken schnitzel parmigiana I'm not generally a fan of schnitzels as I think they all taste the same, but I gave this one a chance and it knocked it out of the park. Turns out, adding a layer of jamon serrano, some melted cheese on top, and a generous serving of tomato ragu can really make even a piece of chicken shine. My partner had the lamb shank and he cleaned the plate so I guess it was alright : The dessert were impressive, too the brownie was pure decadence. All in all, Chez nous won us over with the pleasant atmosphere, generous portions and careful presentation we will definitely be back. We need more places like this in Sale!"

"Really unfortunate our last experience was so poor compared to when we visited in the summer. Visited as a family on a Sunday and was surprised there was seating for us, we were grateful. Lovely atmosphere and nicely decorated. No staff members to be found but sign said to help ourselves to a table. Don’t like the ordering at the bar thing but that’s personal preference; however makes it feel very much like a Wetherspoons. After ordering, we asked where our food was as we were waiting more than 40 minutes. It came a few minutes later. Kids chicken and chips, absolutely fine. My partner’s steak was beautifully cooked to his preference and seasoned well. I ordered a burger which stayed it was “smothered in melted cheese”. Two slices of cold cheese on top, with a burnt to a crisp burger bun underneath. How they thought it was okay to serve this is beyond me. I took it to the bar, got an apology muttered at me. Two minutes later it came back with a fresh bun, but everything else plonked on top, clearly microwaved as was overly hot and the cheese shrivelled up and dry. Undercooked soggy bacon on top, way too salty. One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had (which after having a quick scan through the reviews, I’m not the only one). Ordered desserts, which were very good. Christmas pudding stayed it came with a brandy sauce, my partner asked if it was a creamy sauce. The woman behind the counter had no idea at all. What turned up was custard? Which was unusual. But the actual Christmas pudding was lovely. Think we will try again but hope the mounting negative reviews are listened to. It’s such a good spot, especially in summer so would be a waste if the quality didn’t match."

"This pub is dog-friendly and has a charming, cozy atmosphere with open fires. The food and service are excellent, and the price per person ranges from £10 to £20. The recommended dishes include Fish and Chips served with a choice of Garden or Mushy Peas and Tartare Sauce. Overall, this place has top ratings for its food, service, and atmosphere."
"Has this establishment changed owners. After my visit today I am gobsmacked as to how dirty the ladies toilets and hallway leading to them were . The actual toilets and hand basins were clean , but the skirting boards and walls within the toilets and hallway were very very grubby and stained . I have eaten here quite a few times and enjoyed the food previously. So glad I had not booked today as the attention to cleanliness has clearly changed. Disappointing"
