AVOID

Attended the restaurant as a result of receiving a Virgin Experience gift voucher. The description was accurate! It certainly was an experience! Very limited menu in comparison to the standard menu. We were charged £5.00 per person extra for a table with a view - the staff pretended the venue was busy although it was 2/3rds empty. The chosen starter consisted of 5 thin slices of beetroot scattered with a few minute cubes of hard boiled egg and what appeared to be a chopped nut of some description. The fish main course arrived breaded and appeared to have been bought from the local supermarket. It was well over-cooked ( and tough) as were the potatoes onto which it was perched. The green side salad was also a disgrace and in common with the rest of the course no attempt to present the meal in an attractive fashion was made. We would have had a dessert but decided not to risk it. We were given complimentary coffees as a result of my complaint. The chairs which are covered in old and tatty leathercloth are cracked and peeling. The general impression is that the chain is in decline and on its last legs. We were very disappointed having booked a hotel for the night expecting an enjoyable evening - AVOID!!
