Booked table for four. When we went there it was about six and we were seated in the pokey part of the restaurant...dark and we cannot see the menu as it was that dark. Food ...nothing to write about. Fish and chips...and others ordered the burgers with chicken. Usual fare for restaurants. More choices in the town centre...

However, when we were invited by our friends for a 6:30 pm meal, we were hesitant. Earlier this year, we had a disappointing brunch at the hotel restaurant, 54. Despite our reservations, we tried to keep an open mind and ordered different dishes. By 6:39, we were hungry and ready for our meal, but by 7:15, nothing had arrived. Our friends had to call over a waitress to inquire about our orders. It turns out, the chef hadn't even come in on time. The food finally arrived, but it was a disaster. The chips were cold, items were missing, and the overall quality of the food was subpar. We left without finishing our meals and ended up eating elsewhere. To make matters worse, the meal appeared on our friends' bill when they checked out, but it was swiftly removed. It's a shame to see a good hotel tarnished by a poor dining experience in what should be a lucrative restaurant.

All of the courses we had were excellent, though I found the desserts to be a bit overpriced at £5.95 for just an ice cream. The wine selection was good and the service staff were attentive and polite. The only downside was a loud man at the other end of the restaurant, boasting to his party (and the entire restaurant) about how great he was.

For Main went for the tandoori burger with yogurt dressing and skinny chips, decent enough all the chicken was a little over cooked,suggesting reheating rather than from fresh, but for just under £20 a nice meal. A pint and a glass of house wine took it to £30 which for hotel prices is reasonable. Service was helpful and friendly certainly worth another visit.
