Description
At this hotel restaurant, dining experiences vary dramatically. While some patrons enjoyed attentive service and delectable dishes, others lamented poorly executed meals marked by bland flavors and uninspired presentations. Many expressed disappointment, particularly during large events where food quality seemed compromised. Highlights included well-prepared breakfast options and amiable staff dedication, praised for their proactive assistance. However, inconsistencies in meal quality, with some dishes deemed inedible and lukewarm, cannot be overlooked. Despite the restaurant’s potential in terms of ambiance and service, a significant need for improvement in food preparation and taste remains evident.

Went here for dinner, and can’t see why there are complaints. Food was tasty, service was really excellent, overall very satisfied. Food is priced well for what you get, left satisfied and full
First night at hotel and food was such a let down in fact cancelled breakfast for morning. Burger was very dry and over done, chips should have been gourmet but was just standard frozen chips. Lasagne bland and garlic bread was very dry like a brick. Chicken parfait was more like your bog standard supermarket brought pate. Not what I expected from such a lovely located and surrounding hotel. Will be eating out for the rest of our stay.
I arrived here on my own struggling with a case and a walking stick following a very painful fall after I tripped over the cat. I was upgraded to a room near the lift with a walk in shower which was essential for the sorry state I was in ! My first visit to the restaurant for breakfast was greeted by who I assume was the supervisor who found me a table near the buffet and offered every assistance from getting my food to making my toast. Huge applause for the staff who assess a problem and deal with it and don’t wait for you to ask. Village Hotel be proud of your staff.
First night the food was sublime, could not fault a thing. Second night it was so bad I sent it back; watery, plain, bland, lack of seasoning- very disappointing. I also wouldn't have paid for the breakfast if it was not included in the room rate.
If I could give a lower score for this disgusting and awful restaurant I would. We initially stayed at the Webbington Hotel for two nights at the beginning of June. On the first night my red snapper en papillote was so over cooked and dry the fish had stuck to the paper. They replaced this with a steak but neglected to include the sauce and other accompaniments advertised with this. My partners mushroom stroganoff with basmati rice contained few mushrooms, the rice was over cooked and clumped together and this was very dry. The rest of the meal was as over cooked, including the microwaved desserts. The second night my partners pasta bolognaise contained very little sauce and again the pasta was over cooked. My poultry dish served in balsamic sauce tasted of balsamic and nothing else. At one stage the waiter asked if we 'd want desserts as the kitchen wanted to know as they wanted to go home . I did and this was served whilst my partner was still eating his main! On both nights the accompanying vegetables were over cooked, bland and grey in colour. No matter what dish you order you get the same vegetables! We had to return to the hotel two weeks later and thought that perhaps we 'd caught them on a bad patch before so tried them again and how we wished we hadn 't. The starters were passable but the mains were horrendous. My roast turkey tasted and looked like packet rolled smoked turkey covered in packet gravy. The sausage wrapped in bacon was pink inside and the stuffing was a solid sludge grey item. This was garnished for some unknown reason in thin strips of raw red, green and yellow peppers. The vegetables were the worst ever, 6 anaemic strips of parsnip thinner than thin chips, 2 small florets of grey broccoli, a dish of potatoes covered in what looked like the juice from a tin of tomatoes and the highlight of the meal of 8 butternut squash cubes. Most of this was returned as inedible but they still expected us to pay. My partners chilli con carne on chips (he didn 't want to chance the rice again) tasted sweet. The response was that 's how we cook it . My partner asked for another chilli but with extra chilli and Tabasco sauce and it was suggested that he added the Tabasco to his original chilli! They finally agreed to give him a fresh dish but when this turned up it was much smaller than the original. Three dinners at the restaurant and all were appalling. When you complain to management the general response is Our chefs often get commended for their food . Until the management listen to the problems they will never resolve the disgusting food that is dished up. Definitely one to avoid.
