We went to have Sunday lunch, overall the food was excellent (with the exception of the parsnips that were under cooked). In our local magazine R&A their advert quoted '2 people can enjoy a carvery, unlimited sides, soup and choice of dessert for just £25. Every Sunday from 12pm.' We booked for 12pm but on arrival informed they start serving from 12:30. They gave us a menu for Easter Sunday, that also quoted 12pm. (No menu for the day). When the bill came it was for £32.89 (2 Sunday Carvery 1 person @ 14.95 plus 10% Service Charge). I had planned to give £5 tip. But, the whole experience left a nasty taste in the mouth.

Poor restaurant in an otherwise nice hotel. On a quiet Tuesday they had run out of menus, at ordering they had run out of my starter and main. When the prawns came they were in shells, but came with no water bowl. When the steak came they forgot the peppercorn sauce.

We were seduced by the £25 Sunday roast offering for two. Why did we bother, the soup was lukewarm although tasty. The salad starter was very poor. There were 2 roasts, beef & gammon. My wife had gammon which was good but my beef had to be the cheapest cut which was over cooked. The vegetables were warm and fairly well presented. The cauliflower cheese was hot and tasty. Unfortunately the roast potatoes were not crisp and overly fragrant with rosemary, not ideal for a roast in my opinion. The yorkshires tiny and hard. The deserts were an over dry bread and butter pudding with a runny custard or cheese selection. Tea & coffee were included but here the machine only delivered half a cup of latte! Definitely not worth it, it is worth paying a bit more for a proper Sunday roast.

Go here every morning for breakfast as part of being a hotel resident.The food is really nice I am particularly fond of the hash browns crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside. A really good selection for food all roundThe staff are always friendly and welcoming and assist you in anything you need help with.The restaurant itself is really modern from the private TV booths to the modern decor

Went for the Sunday carvery - do not make the same mistake.The food was cold and limp to the point of being inedible. (cold) yorkshires, (cold) roast potatos which despite being described as crispy on the menu were soggy - the herbs on them were the crispiest bit, (cold) soggy roast carrots and parsnips swimming in oil and dry meat.Following a complaint the staff did offer to bring fresh food out, but by this point we were put off and left without eating.

We went to the Oxen bar and grill for a Sunday carvery arriv8ng just before 14:00. The food is served between 12:00 and 15:00 so although we were not there at the start of service we had not just arrived at the end of it. The restaurant had only one or two other diners in it, which should have been a warning. The food was such poor standard and was also all cold to the point of being inedible. (cold) yorkshires, (cold) roast potatos which despite being described as crispy on the menu were soggy (the herbs on them were the crispiest bit!!), (cold) soggy roast carrots and parsnips swimming in oil and dry meat. Following a complaint the staff did offer to bring fresh food out, but by this point we were put off and left without eating.

Carvery Sunday lunch, very good price for 3 courses and coffee, food nicely cooked. However one complaint food only lukewarm and served on cold plates. Custard ran out and quickly replaced but stone cold.I would return if these problems were rectified.

A cozy restaurant, we ate a pizza that was very good and is homemade. Guadalupe took great care of us and made us feel at home. I definitely recommend it, especially for the food and the friendliness of the staff, especially Guadalupe.

The green curry was good and spicy. Service was also good. Nothing to complain.
