Booked for the early Christmas Lunch at 10:30. All staff engaging and friendly and about 40% full. However the food was at best average. I had a piece of cold pizza with a seafood cocktail and some tongue which was the hero of the starters. The seafood cocktail was made from minced seafood of a very bad quality. You could not recognize a piece of seafood in there. No taste, just sweet mayo with these minces pieces of seafood. Unpleasant. O yes, the glass it was served in was not properly cleaned.
For mains I chose some lamb stew, beef slices and a meatball. The lamb was great, but very fatty, the beef was very dry and tasteless and the meatballs, well, was just that. Balls of mince with no taste, dry and still pink in the middle.
I dished up some pumpkin up with it. Not good. No sweet vegetable dish. No baked potatoes.
For pudding I dished up some malva pudding which was great, but again the custard had no sugar in it. Weird.
There were a lot of desserts on offer, but there were no one to tell you what they were. Also no description. In fact there were no menus on the tables nor any other place available. So some of the dishes you had to quess what they were.
Now this is typical when a restaurant griller need to make buffet food. They are just not trained for that. So the food is bland and without taste.
There were no management available at the buffet and the person who did the carvery did not greet or say a word other than placing a piece of meat in your plate. When I went to the carvery , there were no plates. Also no sideplates for the salads.
Unfortunately a sad experience from one of our favourite restaurants.
Will I go again? Yes, but never again for a buffet.
