I may be a cheapskate, but it could have been a costly error otherwise! The steak was outstanding and the wine was decent. I will definitely be trying their a la carte menu next time. It is definitely worth a visit.

Unfortunately, the beers were not as chilled as we had hoped, more like room temperature. Despite this, we enjoyed a delicious 2-course meal at the restaurant. My partner's scallops and fillet steak were excellent. However, my sirloin was overcooked and dry, even though I had requested it to be medium rare. The blue cheese sauce served with it was clumpy and lacked flavor. To make matters worse, it took 40 minutes for the bill to arrive. Overall, I would rate the food experience as poor this time. Perhaps I will try the fillet next time.

The restaurant, previously called Hugos, is now known as Wocca. Both names don't exactly inspire me. We visited when it was Hugos, courtesy of a Groupon deal. The deal represented excellent value both times, but the experience depends on the staff and ambience. The restaurant seemed unchanged after the name change, and I believe the staff are the same. We dined early on a Saturday and the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, but it got busy as we left. The fish and chips were excellent, with thin and crispy batter and plenty of fish. My wife had a starter and dessert, while I had a starter and main. We enjoyed our meals, including the house red wine and the attentive service provided by Simona. There was limited on-site car parking, but we found free parking on the road behind the hotel after 6pm. We will definitely return for another Groupon visit in the future.

The steaks arrived along with a salad to share and again the presentation and taste were great, chunky chips, there could have been a few more but they were tasty. We were too full for desserts, a great meal with great service, thank you.

Service was excellent. Staff, particularly Rahman Alex, were very friendly and helpful. Staff came out and sang Happy Birthday to my son as it was his 8th birthday on our stay. We had breakfast on 2 days. Plenty to chose from, you couldn't go hungry unless you were very fussy!! Evening meal, couldn't fault either. The kids burger chips is apparently the best ever! Lamp rump and burger on main menu were also excellent as were the puddings!
