So we had our wine! I ordered a Prawn Cocktail (imaginative menu) and was disappointed that the two larger garnish prawns had no flavour (probably washed down the sink when they de-frosted under the tap). Had the price been £3.50 - £4.00, no worries but at almost £7.00 it wasn’t good.

I’d decided that I didn’t want any of the usual fayre to be found on the menu, so thought I’d have the Nicoise Salad, described appropriately as having Green Beans, Tomatoes and Potatoes (I’d missed the ’fresh salad leaves’). What arrived was 6 green beans, 6 boiled potatoes and some tomato n top of a greasy pile of Feuille de Chene lettuce. Ann ordered a salad in preference to vegetables to accompany her steak (again nice) and all she got was a big pile of the same stuff! I’d ordered a ’starter’ pizza bread (they call it something more exotic) with cheese to go with my salad but got a Margarita Pizza instead.

When we came to pay, they’d charged me for a main course pizza and we asked to have that changed – it wasn’t what I’d ordered (although I did check as it was served) and we asked to remove Ann’s wine, as mine had been paid separately. Chaos ensued. The computer said ’no’.

All in all – I don’t want to visit this hotel to eat ever again. Incompetent and in need of a good manager.
