"Disgusting meal. Went for the Valentines menu. Had to wait over half an hour to be told there was no roast potatoes . So went for chips. Waited another 15 minutes until it finally arrived. What a disappointment!!!. The pastry was soaked in gravy and therefore was like wet cardboard and the steak was tough to cut. Sent it back and waited again for just a steak but in the meantime my husband had finished his. So the second steak came but it was well done and I had asked for it to be medium to well done and the chips looked like they had been sitting in the kitchen for ages. Vile meal . I complained and they took my meal off the bill. I spoke to the manager and she said the cook was unaware that the roast potatoes were not prepared by the day befores cook. As a manager surely that's her job to make sure that everything is prepared, especially as it's Valentines day. Won't be going back there in a hurry."

We decided to dine at the Haywain because it is conveniently located next to the Premier Inn. We had made a reservation with the hotel reception, which turned out to be a great decision. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was excellent. The menu had a wide selection, there were some good value meal deals, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. View menu

I recently dined at The Haywain and decided to try their ribs. Unfortunately, they were different from what I remembered - they were very spicy and hot, lacking the barbecue flavor I was expecting. The fries were also a bit too hard for my liking. I asked if I could have a different meal and the waitress, Ellie, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The manager even waived the charge for the ribs I couldn't eat, which I appreciated. Although I only rated the meal 3 out of 5, Ellie's exceptional service truly made my experience much better. Thank you, Ellie!

Today we had a fantastic breakfast experience at this restaurant! We are regular customers, but today was exceptional. When we arrived, the restaurant was fully booked with only two waitresses and a hostess managing everything instead of the usual 5 or 6 staff members. It was a bit chaotic, but the service was outstanding. The waitresses were constantly busy taking orders, delivering food, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food was cooked quickly and arrived hot, thanks to the hardworking kitchen staff. We were expecting some delays due to the busy restaurant, but there was none. Despite a rude customer, the hostess handled the situation professionally. Thank you to Karen, Kaylee, an...

"The Restaurant was a great find. Went there as a party of 3 for my birthday lunch treat today. The lunch menu has limited number of dishes compared to the evening one but are very well balanced. I have never seen kadhi chaval and channa jor garam on a uk restaurant menu, so well done for being so original. The restaurant is located nearest carpark 2, so best to park there. The restaurant decor has many traditional Rajisthani puppets hanging high above the restaurant entrance, nice touch. We ordered 3 starters (Street food) which we shared, they had the correct balance of sweet, hot and sour tastes, although I did compliment mine with additional tamrind, chilli and coriander sauces. We ordered different versions of the Thali. This was impressive indeed. The variety of items, presentation, flavour, temperature and amount of food served in the thali (the circular stinless steel plate) was perfection itself. Every dish had its own traditional Rajisthani unique flavour, could not fault it. Thank you Sohan for your personal courtesy you showed us, the table you had reserved for us, my birthday wishes and for having created a truely great, clean, restaurant with a memorable menu. This was amongst the very best food I have ever had, a great birthday feast. It was a true gastronomic delight for my tastebuds. The restaurant is now firmly on my agenda, a great find indeed.

"My husband and I have been regular visitors to this restaurant over the years and never had anything to complain about, so when my husband booked for my Birthday with my family (6 adults and 2 children) we were all really looking forward to a lovely Sunday late lunch/early dinner. Our table was booked for 4.30 and we all arrived on time and were shown to our table straight away. We all ordered pre dinner drinks whilst choosing from the Sunday menu. All of our starters were lovely, including the prawn cocktail and the soup, however unfortunately we cannot say the same for the mains.....3 x beef, which of the two slices were fatty and rather tough, the roast potatoes were very very hard and tough and very difficult to cut through, the Yorkshire puddings were burnt and really quite inedible and the gravy, already on the plate, was very thin and watery. My husband had the lamb shoulder which was extremely dry. Vegetables were served to the table and consisted of carrots, parsnips and large slices of onion and swede mash, not a green vegetable in sight. We also had a bottle of wine which we continued to pour ourselves throughout our meal.......in the 'old days ' the wine was always poured for us! It was plain to see when we were 'finished ' eating our meals that there was so much left on our plates as not one of us enjoyed the dinner at all and it was all very dissapointing, hence we all turned down the offer of dessert, although my grandson ordered the kids brownie and ice cream which he enjoyed! Overall our visit was really really disappointing and sorry to say we left the restaurant all saying the same.....we will not be visiting again soon!"
