"I was staying in the hotel which is in the same building as the restaurant, which is also open to the general public, although the restaurant does not open until 6pm every day, the time I arrived for my meal, so was almost the first to be seated. I ordered one of their Meal Deals (Starter, Main, Drink and Breakfast at a set price, with an upgrade of a dessert, charged extra, but at a discount. There seemed to be only 2 young waiting staff available for more than ½ an hour and the restaurant was busier at that time than I 've seen here before. the extra staff member did not seem to stay for very long ! My starter, which was perfect but was brought to my table by the chef. which I thought was unusual but by then then the 2 waiting staff were running around doing everything at a busy time . After that I then had to wait 30 40 minutes for the main course to arrive. I had changed the chips to mash and the fish was laid on top. When I lifted it up, the skin was burnt, some bits being charcoal, which had dropped onto the white mash discoloring it. As the fish looked OK, if a little dry on top, I accepted it, deciding that, as I had been waiting for almost an hour, I didn 't want to wait for another hour to get an acceptable meal. I suspect that the fish had been cooked properly and then kept under a lamp until someone was free to bring it to the table but I did comment on what I thought of it when the waitress cleared the plate. (I think she was new to the restaurant as a male colleague was explaining everything to her. She apologised (but it wasn 't her fault ! and I asked her to let the Duty Manager know. Did they come and apologise ? Of course not !!! The waitress came back and said that I was to be offered an extra, free, glass of wine, but as I had already had enough alcohol, I turned that down. She went away again, returning with an offer that I would not be charged for the dessert a reduction of £2 on a bill of £25.99. As it was that or nothing, I accepted On my way back to my room, the hotel receptionist asked how my meal was so she got the full details, poor lady ! She apologised again and said she would inform the hotel management, but nothing came of that. Maybe someone in authority will read this review and make contact ? Fortunately, breakfast went smoothly !"

Used the restaurant for breakfast as staying in the Premier Inn and usual standard self service buffet style breakfast. Good food for a good price as expected.

We ate here both one evening and again the next morning for breakfast. At dinner, the food we had was really nice, hot and served promptly. The only real downside was that we ordered a bottle of prosecco and when it came to the table, it had not been chilled. Breakfast was adequate plenty of hot food and a help yourself coffee machine but avoid the Bubble and Squeak it was tasteless and not cooked properly. View menu

I stayed at the Premier Inn and hence decided to try their buffet breakfast at the Thyme restaurant on the second morning. Unlike their lunch and dinner, breakfast did not appear to have long waiting times to be seated or served. The service was very good, polite, efficient and friendly staff all around. I had a friend over for breakfast, and we opted for the buffet breakfast which was typical, but very good. Being so close to the town center, there is no shortage of dining options, but I had no regrets that I dined in at the hotel (laziness being the prime motivator for the decision).

Stayed at Premier Inn East Croydon over Christmas holidays for 15 days. on our first night, the restaurant was not busy but it took my daughter and I quite a while to get served by the young ladies despite being told that the waitress would be with us soon. Once we finally got service, the food and our drinks were slow to come. My daughter ordered a pizza which she did not enjoy the pizza at all. I ordered chicken wings which were ok. We did go down on Christmas Eve again as were too lazy to go out of the building and the service was very much improved. The male waiter was very good and really looked after us.

Three of us. Sirloin steak cooked to perfection. Chicken fillet with bacon and cheese so 'delicioso '. But chicken curry just so so, of course one should go to a South Asian restaurant for curry, shouldn 't you? Drinks good value Villa Maria S.B. a real find. And a French Coffee at the end of the evening was sublime. The young staff were a cosmopolitan mix who really took great care and attention over us even on a busy night. The real reason I 've done this reveiw is to congratulate the staff on their rare honesty. Back in the room, there was a knock on the door and one of the waitresses was there with my wallet! Stupid silly me had left it on my chair on the restaurant. You never expect to... View menu

So it was Sunday evening and not very busy so maybe service could have been a little quicker, but all courses were well cooked and well presented. I chose the Dinner and Breakfast Meal Deal. They had a new summer menu, so I had the Potted Crab, followed by the Sea Bass. The main course was cooked properly, whereas earlier in the year, the main (Grilled salmon) had taken an hour to be served and was burnt, hence the title of the review. The only strange thing was that when I came to pay, by credit card, the waitress said she wasn't allowed to add a tip. Strange, as that has happed in Thyme hotels I have visited previously. Breakfast the following was the standard Premier Inn fare, although th...

Having booked into the Premier Inn and wanting a meal after work I thought I'd go here. How wrong could I be.. arrived just after 8pm tonne told that there's an hours wait for food. There wasn't that many people in the restaurant to validate that wait time so asked to speak to a manager. He confirmed what I had already been told but took my order and told me what time tonne back for. So I then went back to my room and waited.Went back at 9.20 and the mixed grill I ordered was missing the chips. Apparently they'd sold out so they substituted the chips for corn on the cob. And offered no partial refund for the inconvenience. The egg wasn't cooked either. Considering I was only staying here as...
