What Amanda T doesn't like about The Whalebone:
I used to love our local but unfortunately feel it’s not as good now, the staff are lovely and friendly but not much atmosphere, it was a cold day but no fire lit so was really cold, kept our coats on , food was ok but not as good as past visits, and no fish chips on menu , was actually quite bland to be honest so I’m afraid we won’t be back View all feedback. What GrahamP113 likes about The Whalebone:
Had not been for many years. No reason just not always in this area. The service and ambiance was excellent. The food was timely and really tasty. really well cooked. Lovely sitting out and never felt rushed. Definitely be back but hopefully not such a long gap View all feedback.
