Worst Christmas meal I have ever had. Couldn’t cut the meat. Needed a sew for the Yorkshire puddings. Vegetables half raw half over cooked. The only thing I ate was half a roast potato. Absolutely awful for the price I paid! ?? won’t be returning!!

Hollathans used to be one of our favourite restaurants but I feel that over time standards have deteriorated.We had a meal there on the 12th October and after settling the bill we noticed that there was an offer of discount vouchers If we pre booked and put down a deposit for a Christmas meal, so we did. I enquired about when we would get the vouchers and was told that we would get them when we turned up for our Christmas meal.On 14th December we had our Christmas meal, it was okay, there was plenty of food, it wasn’t as good as the first Christmas meal that we had there a few years back though. The problem came when I had my Christmas pudding, it had some red berries on top which I removed and gave to my wife. The first bite of the Christmas pudding tasted odd, other parts also tasted odd yet other bits were fine, it became clear why when my wife tasted the berries, they tasted of garlic and smelt of garlic. We could both smell garlic on these berries but apparently the Chef couldn’t, however the price of the dessert was taken off the bill (this time).However, the deposit hadn’t been taken off the bill so we had to pull up our credit card statements in case there was a problem proving we had paid a deposit, fortunately there wasn’t and the bill was adjusted.What happened next was really disappointing, I hadn’t at that point handed over a tip, it was only after my wife had been to the toilet and I had found some change for a tip that we approached our server again. Immediately after handing over a tip, he produced the discount vouchers. He could have produced them when he verified that we had prepaid, he didn’t, it was only immediately after receiving the tip.The reason that we stopped going to Hollathans so often was because of their “chips”, I recall being served these horrible thick soggy battered chips with an enchilada, I left them and told our server they were horrible, his response was to say that he would inform the chef. That was it, no feedback, no apology, nothing.I did have these “chips” again on the 12th October but at least this time the coating was crispy and I ate them.

I want in for a spot of lunch and soft drinks but was a bit miffed when they kept trying to sell me alcohol and for a Italian restaurant they didn't have much choice in Italian food it was nice but am not going back as it was a bit on the expensive

We have been going for a while now and the staff are all lovely, food is good quality for the money and very tasty however my partner had mussels the last time we went and he said some of the tasted a little funny, it’s the first problem we’ve ever had with the food. We haven’t had a problem with anything elseKid-friendliness: The kids meals are a big portion however if the kids don’t eat it all they box it up for later

We had been recommended to eat here by a local and were so glad we had! Really friendly staff and the food was delicious! Wine Wednesday was an added bonus together with the two or three course deal! If only we lived closer so we could visit more often ?
