"This is a find table first then order restaurant which may be ok in quiet periods but to a sole diner, it 's not so good. Add Covid 19 and the fact that the carvery ordering process means queuing up to pay at one counter, obtain a voucher then head off to the carvery to get the food you want then return to the table only to find it occupied by someone else not the most efficient system for the public.Being on my own, I decided to forego the carvery and settled on Scampi chips as they had just run out of my first choice, fish chips. Ah well, we can 't have it every way.Having ordered my food, I had to give the table number but the only empty ones required clearing and sanitising. Whilst the cashier shouted to someone to get the table cleaned, it was around 15 minutes before my food arrived and the detrius of the previous occupier was finally removed no sanitising though. The tray containing my food was unceremoniously dropped onto the table, not a word uttered and the waiter simply returned from whence he came taking the previous diners old dishes. Fortunately I had some sanitizer in my pocket and did the sanitising myself.The food (Scampi, chips peas) was certainly freshly prepared and it was really good unfortunately I would have liked brown sauce but the waiter was 'off his mark ' so quickly, I had no opportunity to request it.All in all, a reasonable visit with good food but could do with changing their layout, processes and give some more training to the staff.Would I go back? Probably but only to see if things improve."

"This restaurant is a local gem, good value for money, fantastic decor and atmosphere. There's a good selection on the menu and something for everyone. My only criticisms are that the menu had options only for meat eaters and vegetarians. There was nothing highlighted for vegans. I was able to identify from the vegetarian meals and starters which one's would be suitable for me, but there was nothing for me when it came to desserts. When I asked one of the waitresses about if there was any dessert suitable for my vegan diet, she didn't seem to understand what it meant. At least I was able to get a starter and main that tasted delicious. One of my party ordered a dessert that turned out to look nothing like the photo on the menu. The explanation was that they had changed supplier. It would have been helpful to know that was the case before ordering. Having said that, they did take it away and didn't charge is for it. The other thing I always like when dining with people is that our food arrives at the same time. This was not the case at this restaurant. Staff were attentive, courteous and helpful. At one point, a few senior looking men went around to all the diners to check if everything was okay. I really liked that as it made us feel they genuinely care. I would like at least one vegan option on the dessert menu before I return again, but overall, it was a good experience and I highly recommend in. Well done Lara Grill!"
