"We did not stay at this venue; this review is specifically for the restaurant. We visited for lunch on Mother's Day, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations. Although the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, the food did not impress us. Many of the dishes lacked flavor, such as the ham hock starter which was particularly bland. It seemed like the restaurant prioritized quantity over quality, as evidenced by the roast dinners covered in generic instant gravy, plain boiled vegetables, dry roast potatoes, and a cauliflower cheese that lacked any cheesiness. The chicken and ham pie was also lacking, with minimal pastry and plain flavors. The salmon dish that our mothers ordered looked great and they enjoyed it. I tried the spicy chilli beef starter and found it to be delicious, demonstrating that bold flavors can be achieved. However, considering the high price of £18 for a main course, we expected more attention to detail and robust flavors in all of the dishes."
