Very poor choice for vegetarians. It is disappointing to see such a lack of acknowledgement that many people are vegetarian and vegan reflected in the menu. I w...

The Vale used to be very popular for its carvery. Not now. The meat (2 different ones) was good, but the vegetables were left in water, for hours, so were soggy...

The Vale, once a cherished destination for its carvery, has suffered a decline in both food quality and customer service. While some patrons still enjoy the tasty meats and value for money, many have reported lackluster vegetables, unappetizing desserts, and unclean facilities. Staff attitudes reportedly range from gruff to indifferent, negatively impacting guests' experiences. However, amidst the criticism, some diners praise specific events and dishes, highlighting occasional enjoyable meals. A consistent theme emerges: a desire for more attentive service and an overall revitalization of the dining experience at this formerly beloved establishment.

The roast beef was cooked too long and ended up very dry. The gravy was overly salty. The vegetables were decent but lacked flavor. The price for a regular cola...
