"This has always been one of my favourite places for a sunday roast, but will not be returning again. We have not managed to go since the beginning of the year, and were shocked to see there had been so many changes to the carvery. The selection for the starters and desserts were halved, with not much choice at all and even the roast was missing parsnips, mash and a few other bits we had had on previous occasions. We were offered 'hot ' apple pie for dessert, (I say this lightly, as my pie was practically cold!! but no mention even of Christmas pudding! Its your Christmas carvery, surely you should have that! There was no atmosphere, no decs, and to finish it off, we were asked to leave our table once we had eaten,and take our drinks out to the bar, ready for the next lot in! We have had so many lovely Christmas get togethers here, but no more. Shame, lovely place, lovely hotel, but they have gone wrong somewhere. definitely not worth the money now."

We went to Grill Verve for New Year's Eve, two other events at the same time, but so well organized and a lot of staff waiting, the service was excellent food was good and allergies well attended. Disco was in the center of the restaurant everyone could easily move

We arrived at this hotel to eat dinner on a Saturday night. This was a rare date night for us and we were sceptical at first. However, the food was excellent (sirloin steak was amazing) and the staffs customer service was faultless. Well done for making this a special night.

The whole experience was overall brilliant, we were greeted at the desk by one of the waitresses Charlene who showed us to a table even though it was relatively busy and we didn't have a reservation. We were then asked by our server, Rory if we wanted drinks almost right way. Rory was attentive and cheerful and the service overall was excellent. The food was excellent, especially the mussels and chips although the minute steak was a bit tough. Brilliant experience and would definitely go again.

I was really looking forward to returning to the carvery . What a let down , so sad almost everything has changed . The food was tasteless and poorly presented . Very limited choice of starters and desserts compared to previous visits . The main wasn't good , mashed potatoes were cold, parsnips were stringy, stuffing balls were brick hard , Yorkshire pudding looked burnt and was inedible , other veg tasteless , didn't put the carrots on my plate as they looked so bad , ham was caked in mustard which doesn't appeal to all pallets !

Have been coming here for our Xmas lunch for 5 years, we won't be back. No Christmas decorations, a bare tree. Poor range of starters watery tomatoes in the salad, there was no flavour in the prawn cocktail. The meats were ok but the choice of vegetables was limp carrots, overcooked and hard brussels, overcooked broccoli, wet cabbage the cauliflower cheese was ok. The hot sweet was luke warm apple pie, cold sweets served in small square plastic pots were friut salad 2 types of melon a bit of pineapple if lucky and blue berries, lemon cheesecake which was a sprinkle of biscuit lemon mouse and cream or chocolate mouse and cream, little pots of ice cream or waffles and sauces. There use to be s...

We enjoyed this last year and I look forward to another great time with our friends. We booked a table for 5 pm, however, we were very disappointed with the experience in general. The food was terrible, the appetizers were fine, but there is not much to choose from and the tasteless shrimp cocktails. The main food was poor. The choice of limited turkey meat, ham and very difficult meat. Vegetables selection seemed to have been there all day, carrots shrivelled up, cauliflower so difficult could not be served and filling balls so dry that they could have been used as golf balls! We ordered a little more and I'm sure the waiter took and returned with the same tray. The desserts were limited ho...
