"Have just visited this restaurant for my partners birthday and have been completely disappointed with our experience. I booked a table for 12 people well over a month ago. We arrived at 7.45pm and we were not even acknowledged by a single member of staff. We had to ask for a drinks order at 8.30pm. I then had to go to the bar where 3 members of staff were polishing glasses to ask for a food order at 8.45pm. The waiter asked to take our starters order and then said I will put those on and then come back to take your mains order. Again we were forgotten about. Eventually are mains order was taken. Our food arrived at 9.30pm. Not once did we get an apology regarding being forgotten about. We were the last table in the restaurant at 10.15. We all wanted desserts but felt very uncomfortable by staff just standing watching us. When the waiter brought the bill over we asked for some discount on the bill as we did not get an apology or even a check back throughout the whole experience. Only to be told that it wasn’t possible. Eventually he said I will take £30 off the bill! Considering are bill was nearly £350 I thought this was disgusting. The waiter eventually said he realised he had taken to long for the order to be taken. We asked to speak to a manager and there wasn’t one and then asked to speak to an assistant manager and again there wasn’t one. So who actually was running the restaurant that evening?? Safe to say I will not be returning back to this restaurant and it ruined our evening for celebrating a birthday with close friends"

"Recommended, so we were looking forward to this. It was busy, service was slow but this didn't bother us. However fish and chips were poor, batter cremated, chips underdone. Cauliflower curry poor, rice seemed to be microwaved and stuck together, sauce, chickpeas etc overpowering and Cauliflower batter overdone. Just not nice. Nobody asked during meal how food was. Asked if we wanted dessert, said no, explained not good, waitress said sorry. As ked for the bill, she came back, slapped bill on table, said pay at the bar. Only drinks on bill (2 glasses of wine £14.50) no food, she'd been a bit hasty in getting us out. Shame were honest, we paid the full bill at the bar. Sadly last visit, would not recommend."

"I had a lovely stay at The 'R ' Inn and was welcomed personally by the Manageress from the roadside when I couldn 't find the location due to me misreading the Sat Nav! When I arrived fairly late (21.00) the bar was open and I was shown to my allocation by the same lady. I had a lovely very clean, tidy and well made up little room, which was adequately stocked with tea and coffee making facilitiies, widescreen TV, a shower and lots of clean towels. At first, I was worried about the temperature with the single fixed window, as it was quite a warm evening when I arrived but the powerful and quiet free standing electric fan did an equal job to air conditioning and I slept like a log. My only issue was I couldn 't work out how to change the channels on the TV remote, so I watched several episodes of 'Everyone 's talking about Raymond '! There is adequate parking at the rear, of the building, which has a security floodlight. Despite being located in a busy little village, it was very quiet and I would definitley visit again and the 'R ' Inn comes highly recommended for those travelling light. Need a place to stay? We R inn! Rooms: Small but well laid out and good use of space Safety: When the front desk was un-manned, clear instruction were given by the use of signage, although I did misinterpret the night time entrance! Walkability: Right on the high street with shops and pubs! Food drinks: Just what you would expect from a low budget hotel Noteworthy details: Very reminiscent of the fully automated hotel structure in France"

"Called into this restaurant without a booking on what was, clearly, a busy Friday evening. They managed to seat us but, fairly, told us we had only an hour or so to eat as it had already been reserved. There's a wide-ranging menu with something to suit most palates. My wife went for the satay chicken and we shared a plate of noodles. Hers was lovely, as were the noodles. I went for the king prawns in ginger, garlic and lemongrass (which was described as moderate heat on the menu). Such classifications are subjective and, to me, it was quite hot but, having said that, the flavours were immense. Beautifully cooked, the prawns were exactly right, not overcooked as in so many other places, and the blend of garlic, ginger and lemongrass was perfect with each being perfectly balanced. If heat is an issue I'm sure the chef could tone down the chillies but, for flavour, it was phenomenal."
