Bramblings - Menu

There is a full review of this restaurant included of a stay I enjoyed under the title Abbey Hotel!!

Ham egg and Chips at lunch. Ham was barely there! drinks are expensive! and the area was FREEZING. Needed a winter coat indoors!

The menu is limited and slightly pricey, but the food is of very good quality and the portions are large. The restaurant offers a lovely view overlooking the 18th hole.

We decided to give this restaurant another try after a disappointing lunch a few weeks ago. This meal was no better- over spiced soup, wishy washy vegetables, thin watery gravy and the cardinal sin for a Sunday lunch-no roast potatoes due to “delivery issues “ Won’t be coming again.

We ate there twice on a golf weekend, three course menu with plenty of choice and variety. With three courses there was always the option of after dinner cheese board if we were not filled up, but in fact that was not necessary and the portions were reasonable. Everyone enjoyed their choices, from mussels to braised beef, deserts were delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful.

We stayed at the abbey hotel through a secret escapes break. The reception staff were amazing. We were there for three nights and had two meals in the Tawnys bar an absolute shambles) as was the service of the spa booking team. But on our final night we were awarded with a fantastic meal in the brambles restaurant. The staff were really friendly and well organised. They told us exactly how many courses we were allowed,and the service couldn't be faulted. They left you to eat in peace but where there if you needed anything. The food was delicious and it made our last night really memorable.

I recently had a three-course meal at this restaurant for a Christmas party and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and the food was hot and tasty. However, the portions for the main course were quite small and it would have been better if they used smaller plates. Many of us were left hungry and wishing for more vegetables to fill up the empty space on our plates. Despite not being a big eater and rarely having three courses, I found myself hungry after the meal, which is not ideal considering the price. On the plus side, the disco was enjoyable and the DJ was happy to take requests.

We made a reservation for Christmas Lunch at this restaurant. The car park was very full, indicating that it must be popular. We were welcomed politely and shown to our dining area where the tables were nicely decorated in a festive theme. The seating arrangement was quite crowded, reminiscent of the Ryanair system, but our server quickly rectified this issue. The service was efficient considering the large number of people in the dining area. The carrot soup was delicious, although the bread roll was a bit doughy. The main course, pork, was flavorful but the portion was disappointingly small - only two thin slices of pork, a small portion of potato, and a lackluster selection of vegetables....

We were staying in the Abbey Hotel on a dinner bed and breakfast deal. We were able to choose from a 3 course menu all of which sounded very nice. Starters were OK, I had halloumi and beetroot but it was a little short on beetroot and overly sweet with balsamic. My husband had gravlak which he enjoyed. Both offered bread but had one bite and left it as it was stale. For mains I had chicken and mash with onions and green beans. It needed another veg on the plate and again was overly sweet with another heavy handed addition of balsamic. My husband had 'crispy ' pork belly the majority of the pork was inedible as rather than being crispy it was an un crisped layer of fat and rather unpleasant....
