1652 Bar Restaurant

I've left my review for the 1652 restaurant at the hotel's tripadvisor page instead of here, my mistake, but it's there if you want to read it loved the place! :O)

Went with my mum and son after work for some tea, having been before and thoroughly enjoyed it we thought we'd go again, unfortunately our second visit wasn't as good.

Absolutely fabulous food, freshly prepared from local ingredients with lovely staff! Prices are very reasonable for the quality and we would definately eat here again when staying over! Voir le carte

I visited this restaurant with my mother during the day and was so impressed that I drove back with my wife in the evening, even though it was 11 miles away. It was definitely worth the journey.

Dont choose a ground floor room, otherwise this hotel offers excellent value for money. Food in restaurant is excellent, staff very professional, location is ten minutes from M6 motorway, so why stay on the services hotel.

A group meeting of 15 ladies and no complaints about the food or service! The restaurant was quite busy but we received our starters quickly. A varied main course dish was served to us altogether, no waiting and with ease. Puds and coffee came last and everybody was really happy with the whole evening. Voir le carte

Visited for reserved evening meal. Eventually shown to our table but the premises were extremely cold. We sat down and ordered drinks which started to arrive. On noticing other clients they were seated with their coats on eating. I appreciate the present fuel crisis but I refuse to pay for a meal and sit with my coat on. We left.

Just returned after a 4 month break. Fantastic food, but disppointed that drinkers took children into the cocktail area, and children were racing around the area, sitting on the stairs preventing waitresses safely delivering food. Staff are absolutely lovely and were obviously reluctant to ask parents to behave like parents. Management should step up and make the dining experience not only fantastic but awesome.Having said that, would return again and again for the food, but please, control the children!!

My partner and I decided to visit here after I'd heard what a lovely job they had done on the refurb ! Firstly decor is almost there, but with dramatic chandeliers you need to make sure all of the bulbs are working and all of the lampshades are straight, cheaply recovered old chairs, and dodgy looking prints on the wall, other than that not too bad, just needs bringing together somehow ......Service was slow to start and remained slow all evening , maybe waitresses could crack the occasional smile and look like they are actually enjoying their job, I had to get up at one point to request a dessert menu as we had been sitting waiting for nearly 30 minutes. Lipstick on my wine glass ..... Neve... Voir le carte
