What Paula Smith likes about Tussock Bar Restaurant:
We went across from the Chateau and had a great time. It was pretty busy with a crowd in for the rugby but our group of 10 was easily seated. Food choices were limited for the vegetarians but everything was really tasty with impressive portion sizes. I have to say the staff were amazing. With 1 person front of house she was attentive and welcoming to customers, kept the queue down at the bar, kept the tables cleared... View all feedback. What Hisham Razzak doesn't like about Tussock Bar Restaurant:
Welcoming staff specially young lady at reception. But very dissapointed with food . Ordered veg pizza and sizzle tikka chicken. Both dishes were not tasty. Pizza has no taste and over filled with cheap cheese . chicken was cold and dry , bread very old and hard to bite. We came last year and was ok. View all feedback.

Long wait for the food which was understandable. Staff was trying hard to serve each table however the customer service was just so bad
