What guests say
4.0 / 5 from 1,628 Google reviewsfood was wonderful, place was good. staff were not. They were very unhelpful and were rude and cold. we arrived at little bit earlier asked for our booking, waiter asked us to grab a drink and will be with us soon. we grabbed our drink and was waiting for our others., waited for awhile and went back up to him asked if our table was ready. To which he replied with a very cold attitude and reply saying we need to wait at the bar and he will be with us. we than waited at the bar and got told to leave and sit down in a very rude attitude and facial expressions waited in the middle of peoples way, very uncomfortable. i get that it gets busy and stressful and you never know what someone is going through. but it’s no excuse to be rude to customers just trying to enjoy a dinner out.
Great location and excellent value for the price we paid. We stayed in Room 4, which faced the back of the hotel. We could hear the other patrons and the bands playing but wasnt overly noisy and was still a very relaxing stay. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the bistro, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by the huge bathroom, it was almost as big as the bedroom itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable, great-value accommodation.
Great pub. But unfortunately the meals were not up to scratch, had the Caesar salad & surf & turf on the 10/10th. Cmon “chefs” store bought dressing for the Caesar, really? You can’t make one in the kitchen? And the surf and turf was supposed to be medium rare and it was medium & tough. A big let down. Looks like I’ll just stick to the beer there.
