   Last minute open table booking. Arrived at 9pm and the staff were so lovely and accommodating despite being really busy. Food arrived in a timely manner and was excellent.

   As usual the food was spot on. The biggest disappointment was the level of service, given a bottle of table water but no glasses to drink it from, when we eventually got the attention of an obviously over stretched waiter we eventually got glasses. We waited twenty odd minutes for our coffees and tea to arrive which was very frustrating. The breakfast order thankfully came considerably quicker. The waiter apologised for the long wait on drinks both when bringing them and when we departed, the damage to overall experience had already been done though. Will return as I like the place and it’s usually very good service. The management need to take the responsibility to get it right for a busy Sunday morning breakfast service.

   Food very disappointing for me - £20 for so called ‘large’ dish of Cod with fennel. Cod itself was well cooked but fennel was very sharp, bisque flavourless and lukewarm and one small raviolo a bit of an insult Desert was an apple crumble but with no crumble - just chopped nuts. Apple was sour - really poor Dining companion happier with his medium plate sausages

   Hamilton's came recommended from a Stockbridge local and absolutely did not disappoint! Service was excellent and the food was fantastic- the octopus and ox cheek were particular favourites in our group. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great pub with a variety of options, both in terms of food and portions.

   Very enjoyable pub experience. Food excellent pub cuisine. Seriously understaffed as most places have been in Europe. Friendly owner made up for slow service by discounting drinks. A little loud for my ears but lively. Very reasonable for a family of 6. Definitely recommended

    Really great service and interaction throughout our visit, very attentive and helpful. Food was delivered promptly without having to wait long, really tasty and of high quality, didn't disappoint in any way. First visit and will definitely be back again soon, and although busy wasn't crowded and felt very personal.

    Food slightly disappointing - Waldorf salad slightly odd including blended ingredients, cauliflower curry too hot even for 21 year old. Service really excellent. It was less than half full and so atmosphere quiet - but pleasant.

    Food was good, service ok. Was annoyed that they hadn’t taken down a promo on Open Table that said Sunday and Monday evenings was BYOB. They weren’t apologetic and almost acted as if I should have known. Decent evening though

    I’m a local and go once a month at least. This time the food was just fairly average and felt so much more overpriced. The cod and fish and chips were fine, the burger was not even close to worth the £16 or whatever it was and the chicken and mash were/were bordering on inedible. The atmosphere was great if a bit quiet. They had live music on and family/friends of the artist were there whooping and cheering. Can’t see us ever eating there again which is such a shame as it’s so close and used to be such a gem.

    Service is always friendly and efficient, staff great at letting you know how busy the kitchen is. Food is always delicious and choice is great although I usually have the same thing. Sad that they have stopped the peanut butter French toast...was my favourite. Lovely place to meet with family and friends for a bite to eat ir just a drink. Family and dog friendly

    We were asked to move tables after been served our drinks and given menus. This was initially annoying but the service and food made up for it. Also given complimentary drinks to say sorry. So really couldn’t fault anything

    We had booked a restaurant table for 6 approx 10 days before our visit. We were show to a low table which wasn’t as suitable for eating which surprised me as on the website I had booked restaurant seating and happy to send a photo of the booking of needed. The member of staff I spoke to re this was extremely rude and unhelpful showing me his screen doesn’t have the preferred seating options on it and had quite an unpleasant manner “he was right I was wrong “. Being regulars we suggested moving to a high table and looked forward to a more positive experience. The service again from this certain member of staff was quite rude, superior and scornful when we decided to order a bottle of white to go with the main course as 2 meat dishes been chosen as well as cod. As it happened the white was finished( as suspected ) with our starters and the meat eaters had the opportunity to have a glass of red too. As I had organised the meal I was greatly embarrassed by the odd “know it all attitude” of this particular member of staff especially as Hamilton’s as always been our go to safe option when eating out locally.

    The service was great and the food was good. Do note that the seats were very uncomfortable plastic seats, so likely not ideal for those with disabilities or chronic pain. (There are comfier options, but they were taken when we arrived.) Otherwise, it was lovely!

    Arrived at 12 o’clock and did not receive our food until 1315. At no point did anyone ask why we had not been served . After 45 mins I asked where our food was and was advised there had been a mistake with the order and we had to order again . He waiter said it would only take 5 - 10 mins , 30 mins later we received our food. The crispy chicken bun looked nice however , the chicken thigh was mainly burnt crumb . Extremely disappointing service and quality of food . Manager was nice and gave us free cokes/ orange juice 🤨 Most restaurants would have waivered the food bill . Poor show Hamiltons .

    Lovely dog friendly bar but on this occasion food and drink and service fell short of what we are used to at Hamilton’s Coffee wasn’t hot. Breakfast wasn’t up to usual standard And service was slow despite it being quiet and plenty staff on. Hopefully just a bad day and will be back to usual quality soon

    Dreadful attitude from waiting staff. We ordered a £60 bottle of champagne as we were celebrating a 30th birthday. We were party of 6 and they could only give us 4 glasses!!! We asked for the 2 others and were told there was a run of fizz and they would get them when they could. After waiting again I got up to speak to someone and was very rudely told ‘they’re coming’. The girls had the glasses and the boys had a pint. Eventually someone else came with 6 glasses and we all got to cheers. The red wine for the meal was forgotten and again when we asked we well spoken to as if we were making trouble- astonishing attitude from staff. Really disappointed for my daughter as it was a treat for her birthday. As we were leaving the waiter apologized and said it was all his fault. Too little, too late. Management need to focus on training staff in customer service.

    Hamiltons is a nice place to dine. It feels great. Food is good without being magnificent. Service is not particularly attentive but it is not bad either. With some small improvements, it would be value for money.

    I can totally sympathise with the industry just now. It must not be fun working in hospitality after covid and I can only imagine that staff shortage and staff Illnesses due to covid must be a strain. So I maybe need to lower my expectations about this service industry at the moment. But we left Hamiltons feeling that we would have been better off making a Mother’s Day meal ourselves. It wasn’t a treat. It felt like we were a strain on the staff there.

    Took 5 minutes to find our booking Had to ask for a child’s high chair twice No children’s menu Waited over an hour for food, child half portion covered in salt Sunday roast without half of the components, no Yorkshire puddings puddings. 1 small carrot, 2 pieces of tender stem broccoli and 3 roast potatoes. Apparently ran out of food and this wasn’t communicated When complained bill was reduced but incorrectly. Clearly short staffed but a total waste of time and money !

    We were warned when we arrived that the kitchen was a chef down. Our table was 10:30 and we received our food, cold at 11:40. We were happy to wait but didn't expect the food to be cold. We given a £9 discount.
