Priory - Menu

First visit to Cast Iron after some golf, lovely food and Really great service from Elisa the waitress! So friendly and was always on hand when we needed her. Thank you Elisa.

Friendly hotel restaurant. Quiet on a Sunday night but a nice reception from the team. First class burger without a long wait. Try the Niblick Nobble from Derby Brewing as it’s exclusively for this location.

The dinner menu is quite simple, offering options like fish and chips, burgers, steaks, and curry. The breakfast buffet is only lukewarm at best, with cold plates. It is best to avoid this restaurant if possible. View menu

We dined here during a stop over stay and the food was superb. The staff were friendly and attentive but also allowed us to relax and converse between courses. If you are staying in the hotel I can highly recommend thie Cast Iron Grill for a quite meal.

The Cast Iron Bar Grill is now located in the old Priory restaurant and it is such a shame to see how this once wonderful restaurant has fallen into chaos. Poorly staffed, the staff try their hardest, but having to wait 50 minutes from when ordering a drink to actually receiving it is appalling with food that is edible at best but vastly overpriced.

Our last visit was a significant improvement, possibly due to the lockdown sharpening the focus on the type of service the hotel should offer. The food was well displayed and delicious, though it still seemed a bit expensive. Tabitha provided excellent and enjoyable service, making our experience even more pleasant. She is a delightful member of the staff. View menu

Whilst the food here was well cooked and served quickly the menus the exact same as every other Marriott I've stayed at. Surely with the provenance of the main hotel building there could be room for a bit of regional difference and some local specials ? The staff are very professional and helpful but unfortunately its just an expensive bistro bar tacked onto the hotel located between the pool and gym.

We had a three course meal at this venue, and both our meals were slightly overcooked, i had Lamb which was nice but chewy, i mentioned it to the waitress, which the comment she made was that i will let the chief know, no apology, and no come back on the matter, my wife's rack of Pork was overcooked by about 5 min, we didn't complain about this as we felt there seemed to be no point, the starters were very nice but in general we were not over impressed with our meal.

We booked for 8 for a family birthday meal with no problem and when we got there they told us we couldn’t sit together and my mum and dad had to sit on a separate table to the rest of my family. I understand that things must be changed in response to Coronavirus but this was ridiculous and we were at no point when booking told this rule. In addition, the food was absolutely terrible and almost inedible, completely overpriced. We were not seated in the actual restaurant but in what looked like the breakfast room for people staying at the hotel. The only positive was the lovely waiter who served us. Overall a horrible experience and I will definitely not be returning. View menu
