"3 generations aged 12 -79 visited for a family meal on a Saturday night. It was our first time and we extensively road tested the very tempting menu with 3 courses each and all having different things. It was all absolutely delicious, great portions and not too long to wait. Friendly sevice and great ambience, not too noisy and very pretty decor.We all thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Well done Agora!"

"Walked in to be left standing about as staff went about with setting up jobs. Found two staff who kept insisting “nuhin was booked” told them it was just a table for 8 no set menus which they kept mentioning. Again left standing in the empty restaurant as they went to find someone else. They sat us at the afternoon tea set up then asked us to move after about 5 minutes of being sat there when we said again we weren’t in for that. Took us about 20 min and talking to 4 staff to get to the point of ordering drinks, once they were ordered from the bar a drink was forgotten and had to be ordered again after 15 min. Food came pretty quick and for the most part was good. Ordered plain toast with poached eggs and this came with avocado on it, not a huge deal but wasn’t what was ordered. However a chicken Caesar salad came without the chicken. After telling the staff it took the best part of 25 minutes for a whole grilled breast to come to the table with muttered apologies. As part of the apology a voucher for a free coffee from Starbucks was given, the person wasn’t drinking coffee. After we had finished we sat there with dirty glasses and plates in front of us for about 30 min. In that time I watched the staff serve meals to and clear the only other two tables around us. We decided against desserts at this point and left. Genuinely just got the impression we were an inconvenience from the start, maybe as we were the first table in but definitely won’t be back anytime soon."

"Started by phoning to make a booking,this was horrendous in the end I phoned central reservations and they put me through to the restaurant. I asked if the carvery was still available they assured me it was. Arrived at restaurant nobody came to show us or table we asked at the bar they pointed to where it was.sat at the table no one came to explain where the starters were or anything else. We found the starters or should I say where the remains or maybe not were. No plates to put the food on had to go and find someone The cold plate of meat what was left was spattered with cream from the desserts which was right next to it on the table,salad was non existent had to find someone again to explain all this. The main course was almost the same very little meat left the beef was the best and that was pretty miserely. The veg and the yorkshires were only just above blood heat. My advice is don't go anywhere near this carvery any later than mid afternoon. ."

"I give this restaurant five stars for serving a surprisingly high-quality meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked lamb rump, which was enhanced by unique additions such as feta, partially roasted cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and baby fennel. My wife opted for the meat pie, chips, gravy, and tenderstem broccoli, and she was pleased with the full crust of shortcrust pastry filled with slow-cooked beef shin. The food was excellent, and I learned that a new team of chefs has been hired, which seems to have been a wise decision. While the hotel room was not anything special and there was noise until the early hours of the morning, we were warned about this during the booking process, so we can't really complain."

"The Norfolk Arms, close to Euston station(ISH). Quiet and considered, a pub focusing on wines (sherries included) as much, or more than beers. Still, a variety of keg and a couple of casks on offer. Sweet people behind the bar, a smile always offered. An honest effort to accommodate me. Perhaps more a wine bar/restaurant in a traditional pub building. I am easily confused."

"Our server was really lovely. Very friendly and helpful. We had an initial disappointment as we thought it was still the unlimited Sunday carvery lunch but it’s now changed. Still unlimited starters but you get your lunch brought to you. Our server emphasised how this meant tastier fresher food, and she was right. Two had the Sunday lunch and it was huge, with lots of lovely fresh turkey or roast beef served with roast potatoes, several fresh vegetables, a huge Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy. Really delicious. I had my usual favourite tacos. I’d recommend here. It’s quite expensive but I had a 1/2 price Gift voucher so that made it all good."

"Food awful. Bland sides served in foil cups like small pie dishes. Macaroni cheese was dry, crusty and had never had a piece of cheese near it. Served in a foil pie dish. Beef meatballs in tomato sauce were 3 dry meatballs in 1mm of watery passata. The 'creamed ' mushroons were in a watery curry sauce. Lasagne, again, bland and in a small foil pie dish. Some meat was fatty and inedible. Some was as dry as a bone. I never, ever write a bad review, there is always something I like but this was shocking. With the prices of the drinks too (4 x Pepsi Max), a meal for two of us was £77. Save your money and go to Nandos. Twice."

"DisgustEd and utter disappointment in the way my party of four were treated . I had booked a table for 4 people at midday as a treat for my parents before going to Strickly come dancing today. when we arrived there was a board closing of the restaurant and so we went into the bar where we approached and told the restaurant was going to be full with an oil company function and waved away to find ourselves a table in the bar. My parents are elderly and can not manage up to the high tables so we eventually found a round table for the four of us to sit. The table and chairs were dirty and covered with food. I had to go and find someone to come and clean the table and chairs. We chose our food and after a while went to the bar to see if someone was going to serve us to discover we had to order at the bar. The final straw was when we tried to order they didn’t have what we would like for our meal. There was no explanation or apologies for not having a table for us in the restaurant, for the table and chairs being dirty, no service or explanation that we had to order our food at the bar and no apology for not having what we would like to order for our meal. We collected our jackets and left. We had a lovely meal with great service elsewhere. Totally appalled at the lack of customer service and when speaking to others it would appear we are not the only ones."

"Took some family members (7) for carvery at 4pm Sunday. Starters dried up , soup wouldn’t come out of jug so had to remove lid tip out . Just a lump of cold congealed mess . Bread rolls rock solid. Main was equally terrible , end of dried up turkey (server apologised) ham fatty and no beef. Veg and potatoes soggy and just leftover from early in the day . So greasy and cold . All got left . There was a table with breakfast food on it , ie, croissants, jam . Seeded muffing and granola. This is what my two grandsons ate . We complained to server , he laughed and said yes it’s left over from breakfast! Never ever in my 60 years have I had such an embarrassing and inedible meal . I’ve never ever left a negative comment on any site before but this was totally unacceptable. I’ve sent an email but not sure if I’ve sent it correctly. We spent a great deal of money on this meal and had to take the children to a fast food outlet on the way home . I was very upset as I had chosen this venue felt very upset embarrassed by the whole experience. Needless to say we won’t be returning or recommending this carvery experience. Someone seriously needs to look at the quality of food . Potatoes , supposedly roast where just white in colour and covered in grease . There was maybe 10 potatoes in the server and there was 7 of us in our party but we asked and told there wasn’t any more . Why we stayed I do not know . Several days later I cannot stop thinking about this meal and feel incredulous that we didn’t ask for a refund, probably just much to polite to do so ."

"The hotel and bar experience was really nice but wasn't impressed with the grill restaurant. Menu was quite misleading in terms of the main courses, skewers didn't specify only one was meat and the other was veg... In addition the muscles for starter there was lots of empty shells so portion ended up being small instead of average. Fed back to the waiter in the night but nothing came of it."

"Ate here before a concert as we were staying at the hotel. Our deal included a 2 course meal each from a fixed menu with a choice of 4 starters, 6 mains and a few desserts. We chose to share a starter and a pud, plus have a main course each. The portion sizes were fairly large so this was a good choice, and it se emend like the staff were used to people doing this so no problem in getting extra cutlery etc. The food. Was well cooked and tasty and good value for the price paid. Suggest booking in advance as we saw customers being turned away."

"We were staying at the hotel attached so tried eating here on first night. We queued for nearly 10 mins to get a drink and order our food. When eventually our food came the starters came with the main meal and i had asked for sweet potato fries instead of normal. I received both. When the receipt was checked they had charged me for the extra portion but the queues were too much to go back to bar. also the food we had received was not good, I didnt eat my ribs not sure if they were cooked properly. While we were there we saw many people send their food back and lots and lots of people complaining about the wait. Also they had a man singing and out table was right in front of him and we were unable to have a conversation due to the volume. When the food"

"I am a member at the village gym and always come for spa day and and lunch with my friends as i love it here at Hull village. I decided to book a meal for my dad's birthday last Sunday for 6 of us as a supirse for him and what a supirse we had. We ordered 4 roast dinners and 1 child main and 1 main off the normal menu. My fathers meal and sons meal came out 35 mins before our roast dinners which we was not happy about as by the time they arrived my father had finished his dinner. When the carvery came we asked for all of them on plates and got them all on woodern boards. 3 beef dinners came out and my nephews dinner roast turkey didn't... He then had to wait another 10 mins for his dinner and another 5 for extra Gravey... They apologised and gave is a round of free drinks which didn't really cut it but we was grateful. The staff looked petrified and unsure of what to say or do and it was because of them not telling the kitchen 2 tables where put together and we had finished our starter everything where so bad. We then ordered deserts 2 hours later. We got a gluten free ice cream and 3 chocolate brownie and Icecream. 2 brownie came out but my sons Ice cream and my desert was missing so then we had to complain again. We could not beleive it. They then came back out 5 mins later after my mum and nephew finished there dessert to tell me they had ran out of brownie and they forgot to do the Icecream. I was fuming by this point as you can imagine. I decided to have the chocolate cake instead. When it finally came out it was frozen cold with cream not hot. i was gutted but i was that mad my dad's birthday was ruined i left it. They said sorry for the bad service and mess and wiped the bill which of course they had no other choice really as it was that bad they even began to laugh at some of there own team members. The whole experience was a disaster. Im suppose to book a meal for 8 in December for a girls night but now im not so sure. So disappointed."

"On Sunday evening, I visited the restaurant after booking a room at the hotel. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed and we were directed to the Grill instead. However, at 7.30 pm, there were three large screens showing football with loud music playing, making it difficult to have a quiet meal and converse with friends. Despite this, we bought drinks and spoke to the manager, who was accommodating and attentive. The bar staff seemed inexperienced with the till system, but the manager ultimately resolved the noise issue by setting up a table in the lobby area. When checking in at 4.30 pm, the noise from the TVs in the lobby was overwhelming, prompting me to consider leaving immediately. A staff member helped with check-in by shouting over the noise. I would suggest separating the noisy bar area from the lobby to avoid losing customers in the future. Overall, the service provided by the manager was satisfactory, despite the initial challenges."

"Not at the moment. Wait for the full refurb before going back. The staff didnt know if they were handling the bar menu or the grill menu. Ordering drinks at the bar, same 4 drinks, different prices depending on who served you. On the grill side 3 course Sunday lunch Starters was soup served from coffee pots in enamelled cups. Main was server on a wooden board, Desert was cookies or croissant. We had to order separate deserts from the bar menu (at extra cost) for one not to arrive at the table. (cost deducted from the bill) To be fair the food that was server was nice BUT!!!!! If I wanted a cup a soup I would have stayed at home. We ask for plates because how do you pour gravy on a wooden board? plus I don't like the taste of wood in my roast beef. Finally, cookies, croissant or a shot glass of cream with a bit of jam doesn't constitute dessert to me. Bring back the carvery! and plates!"

"We booked under a deal which included two course and a glass of prosecco each. This was really good value and generally the food was good. However, the service was very poor. Initially they refused to give us the prosecco even though I had my booking confirmation on my phone which showed it included prosecco. They were very rude and unhelpful and I ended up having to leave my table to go to the reception for help. The reception staff were great and sorted the problem straight away. Even on my return when we were served the prosecco the staff were still very rude and did not apologise for the mistake."

"I brought my girlfriend to this restaurant for Valentine's Day. We had a two-for-one deal on the main course, but the voucher we had stated it could not be used on Christmas or New Year's dinner. Despite presenting the voucher upon arrival, we were informed that they had emailed us about the voucher (which they did not), and that it could not be used for Valentine's Day. When we explained the situation to the person at the front desk, they insisted the voucher was only for Christmas or New Year events and could not be used. Normally, I would have left and gone elsewhere, but since it was Valentine's Day, I wanted to treat my girlfriend and most other places were fully booked. We decided to stay and dine, although we were not in the best mood. The food itself was excellent, although I'm not sure it was worth the £30 per person."
