Hallmark Hotel - Menu

Friendly staff. Fantastic food. Good value of money.

I was in Croydon for a family party and needed somewhere to rest my head for the night.

outstanding service and attention to detail from our excellent waiter, food was excellent and the atmosphere perfect

Generally pleasant but the rooms can be a bit hit and miss. I've stayed in the Hallmark Hotel three times now, and have had three totally different

I met a friend for lunch at this restaurant, as it was a convenient halfway point for both of us. We were pleasantly surprised by the nice decor, ample parking, and excellent food at a reasonable price. We have decided that this will be our go-to spot for future meetings, as it outshines the other options in the area.

On December 1st, the restaurant at the hotel stopped taking reservations for OpenTable for Christmas. Even though we had made a reservation before this date, they did not have it in their system. We had reserved a table for 7 but they were unable to seat us until 9. The staff were impolite and did not apologize for the inconvenience. The service was very unsatisfactory.

I have a milk allergy and they provided soya milk, a plate fill of sandwiches separately and a fruit salad as I couldn't have the cakes I was well looked after.

There was dust on the walls and window ledge. The speciality menu offered was not what was expected based on the website. After some persuasion, an alternative menu was provided. The starter, a dish of prawn and crayfish, only came with mini prawns and no bread as described. However, the main course, slow cooked beef featherblade, was excellent. There were some issues with gluten-free options for my wife, but they were eventually resolved. The dessert arrival was comical as the ordered chocolate brownie with...
