Having eaten in the bar on many times pre covid I was looking forward to returning. But the experience didn’t live up to our expectations at all. The menu is extensive, which on reflection is not a great sign, our food was really poor. Two of the dishes were inedible, 2 dishes were ok, but certainly not up to par with the local chipper,!!!!!!!!!and one meal was fine (curry, so hard to go wrong). I had to complain to our sever who was pleasant and agreed the food was not good, he offered to take it away and another meal was ordered- fish and chips, it was fine, not great, batterer was hard and burnt. We ordered desserts as I suppose we were trying to make the most of or salvage a disappointing night out. The desserts were mediocre, meringue was rock hard and the summer fruits were apple and tiny pieces of plum…. No Wexford strawberries that’s for sure. A Captain Morgan’s and coke was ordered but…..there was no Captain Morgan’s in the establishment, again disappointing for a person who rarely drinks and fancied that drink. Service was hit or miss, with dirty plates left on table for long time and one of the drinks forgotten and had to be reordered. The bar man starting cleaning the bar and put the rubber beer trays hanging over the wooden area beside us which was pretty disgusting. When I went to pay the bill the food which had been sent back was still on the bill and I explained to the bar man that we were not able to eat that food etc etc, he said oh I don’t know anything about that, no communication between staff, I had to explain the whole situation again, it was not a nice experience and there was certainly no apology from the staff. I called to the establishment the next day and asked to speak to a manager, I explained the sorry saga to him, his reaction was one of indifference. I had intended on returning with 9 family members on the Friday night but obviously after all of this I told him I wanted to cancel the booking, again he seemed indifferent, told me they don’t normally receive complaints re food, especially the dishes we had and also suggested I could use social media to give my opinion. I actually thought that was so rude considering I had taken the time to come and speak with him. He did offer me a coffee and said I could bring family back for coffee/tea…..but there was no offer to make up for the experience by looking after family on the planned Friday night or a refund of any sort. Overall poor food, poor service and dire customer care. Obviously the hotel industry is booming and my business, opinion and experience was insignificant.
