Andel Lodge

Stayed at the Andel Lodge for a couple of nights breakfast and Dinner both of which were amazing. Staff were really helpful and friendly. They had a couple of functions on which kept the,busy but we were always well attended . The functions did not disturb our stay at all. Yes the road is noisy but it’s easy to get every where . The bathroom was spotless and room well presented .

Unfortunately we invited the family to Christmas lunch with us. We had my grandson who is 12 with us. He asked if the Yorkshire puddings had been cooked on the sun. They were black as were some of the baked potatoes. Obviously been waiting in the oven for hours. Our main meal didn’t arrive until almost 3pm. The beef was advertised as rib which it most certainly wasn’t. Hard to tell as the slice was so small. There were three waitresses to serve in the region of 60 people. Never again.

Have passed the Andel Lodge many times and each time commenting that we must give this a try! Let down at Arbuckles, we tried our luck and they were able to feed us! Nice friendly atmosphere, and nice restaurant, but we Elle Ted to eat in the bar. Food excellent and good prices. Varied menu and was able to satisfy all our pallets. ...only negative that stopped me giving 5 star was the fact that service was slow. There was only one person in the bar area, serving drinks and taking orders and whilst really friendly the delays were inevitable as she could only be in one place at a time. That being said the quality of the food was worth the slight wait. We are looking forward to going back.....would be nice if they had an extra pair of hands.

Our family of 6 had our Christmas lunch this year at Anvil Lodge. So very disappointing. We were all crammed in , no space, and the service was appalling. Waited so long between courses. Food was brought in all plated up including gravy like a transport cafe. Champagne served in a marquee type place that smelled badly of gas and not enough chairs. Will never go there again

A very warm welcome had lunch in the bar food cooked from scratch so it took a bit of time witch we don't mind price very reasonable and food was very tasty very hot witch we liked but the bar area was cold as this was December i would have thought the heating should be on
