The Admiral Hornblower

Food was very good. The service was lacking though. Many mistakes with our meal and we had to ask twice for our drinks.

Excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff, so good I ate dinner there 2 nights running as the,atmosphere was also very relaxing

£80 later. Feel like I’ve been robbed. Terrible service. Utterly mediocre food. Terrible place. Zero atmosphere. Most of the small plates from the fryer. The trio of salmon smelt off. Won’t be back. Voir le carte

Really nice place. Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food. Was absolutely packed when we arrived which is a good sign. I would describe this place as more of a restaurant than a pub. Lovely decor and nice beer garden too.

Perhaps caught this place on a bad Tuesday evening, bar not very welcoming however staff extremely courteous and provided selection of fruit for my Pimms. Ambiance just seems a bit lacking with odd seating areas and no through flow. Not clear where food is available. Well sited and close to Market Place for easy access

Really nice atmosphere and really attentive staff. The restaurant was pretty cold cos the back door kept opening for guests and it was so cold outside. Heating could have done with being turned up. My friend and I ordered medium rare steaks but they were more medium well but still tasted really nice! All in all a lovely evening but a couple of tweaks would have made it better Voir le carte

while on a recent visit to this historic town the scent of the flowers attracted me to this lovely walled seating area off the main street as we walked past and decided to have a relaxing drink in the garden. The hotel and bar has a good selection of wines and beers and it also serves food but I did not eat on this occasion. There were lots of people gathered in the garden relaxing after work and the athmosphere was great as everyone was enjoying themselves. The seating has umbrellas over it and heaters attached to the umbrellas in case it was cold.The staff were friendly and it has a real buzz about it but it was a friday evening.

Dishonest service. We visited the Hornblower today Saturday for lunch. Whilst we had not booked we were pleased to be offered a table in the bar. We were advised that it would be 15 minutes before they could take our order due to them being so busy. This was fine. However after 25 minutes we asked for our food order to be taken only to be told that due to lack of Chefs our order could not be taken for another 20 minutes this would have entailed a wait of 45 minutes before our food order could be taken let alone cooked If you are truly that short of staff you should have been transparent at the start instead of wasting clients time. If the kitchen cannot cope be honest and do not promise to t...

I booked a room through Expedia £115 for a one night stay with breakfast night of 16/02/24. Our room on entering was heated to make the temperature immediately uncomfortable. The lovely member of staff suggested we open all the windows and the door leading to the car park as it was impossible to turn the radiators either off or down. When advised that we couldn’t accept a room heated to that temperature or sleeping with the door open all night we were shown to the only other room available. This was a ground floor room in the annex off the car park. We should have simply driven back home late in the day to Northumberland. Our overnight stay in this dark, dilapidated room was nothing short of... Voir le carte
