The Boardwalk Dining - South Derbyshire

At 14th of October, I, my husband and two children went there for dinner at 8pm. We ordered starters and main courses. We ordered mussel, chorizo and garlic prawn, the 7 years old ordered kid meal. The starter is very enjoyable. We are looking forward to our main course. We ordered 2 steaks and 1 cod fish and chips. When the steak on the table, my 13 year’s old complained how smelly the meat was. My husband steak was ok. I taste my daughter’s steak, it’s taste like rotten meat, I have mentioned this to one of the staff, the staff said she can change a fresh one for us. We said no, because its was too late, the children was tired. We don’t want to wait longer for the steak. My husband said to the waitress that he will eat it, but he can’t eat it, it’s too smelly. We just left it. The bill was £120. From my memory the steak cost £29. I think that the restaurant should check their ingredients before they serve customers, especially children, how come we ordered 2 steaks, my husband one taste ok, my daughter’s steak tastes rotten, smelly. Is that because she is a child, and they thought they could get away with serving her rotten food. After we paid, we walk out the restaurant, all of us said we shouldn’t come to this restaurant again. We were very disappointed. We didn’t complained when we was in the restaurant, because we don’t normally complain, however I don’t feel happy about it, I think the owner should know about this. And other customers should know our experience. When they go to this restaurant they should more careful with what their children eat.

A forgettable experience unfortunately! Got recommended by a friend however our experience was nowhere near what was explained to us. The food was slow and lacked any taste. After waiting so long we couldn't be bothered to mention it was cold, went into a local pub instead . Service was poor, not very warm and slow and poorly organised. A shame as had been recommended and we had travelled a fair way to visit, will not bother coming back .

Had a really lovely meal with my husband. They’ve launched a new menu which is delightful. Loved the tapas starters. Staff were really helpful and pleasant.

7 of us went for breakfast, fairly quiet, food came out and different times food came out cold, wrong and the sandwiches were dry. For the price this was way below par… not. Somewhere I would recommend. Although service was okay.

Visited on a very busy Sunday, sat outside in the sun. Despite being incredibly busy staff were very good , polite and organised . Food was a little slow however understandable. Definitely recommend!
