"Despite having only one waiter working, he did his best to attend to all customers. The personal service provided by the waiter was excellent, but the overall dining experience was lacking as his attention was divided after the football match ended. This resulted in our food becoming cold as it sat waiting to be picked up. We brought this to the waiter's attention and received an apology, but no solution was offered to warm up the food. The menu was disappointing compared to previous visits to the Stanmore Branch, where the customer service and food quality were excellent. On a previous visit to Pecking Order at the Hive, the chef had to leave early due to an emergency, so the waiter or manager ended up cooking our food, limiting our options to only fried foods instead of their signature rotisserie chicken. We ended up enjoying the chicken and waffles, but it wasn't what we had initially wanted to order. The menu only offered four items: half chicken, burger or veggie burger, fries, and rice, which was a letdown in terms of variety and portion size. To top it off, we discovered that the same chicken served at Starbucks next door was also served at Pecking Order, which was a disappointment and raised questions about the restaurant's practices. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend it."

"It seems that the staff could use a bit more experience. Everyone appeared quite young and inexperienced, except for one young man who seemed genuinely apologetic about the situation and clearly has the potential to be a manager, as he recognized the issues. The service was incredibly slow, the menu was lacking variety, and one of the bartenders had a strong odor, suggesting he hadn’t washed in days, and his clothes were quite wrinkled. The first waitress treated me as if I were at a fast-food restaurant. The food was nearly cold upon arrival, although the dessert was quite good. Breakfast items were excellent but overwhelmed by the large number of patrons; they really should manage bookings better if they’re expecting such crowds. I was even suggested to sit in the bar area, away from the restaurant, with four children, which meant I had to keep walking back and forth to get their meals throughout the morning. I had my wedding there once, and the experience was much better back then. The hotel would benefit from having some more experienced staff and a manager regularly monitoring the situation, especially addressing the issues with the bartending staff. Unfortunately, since the hotel modernization, I’ve consistently experienced poor service during three visits. On a positive note, the rooms were comfortable, and the prices were reasonable. I suppose for a Holiday Inn, it may be acceptable, but it used to be so much better."
