    Nice atmosphere and excellent service. Would be improved by having a wider choice of main courses. What I had was good though .

    We were surprised at the poor quality of service, orders incorrect. Food lacking flavour. What redeemed the meal was the Tiramisu deliciousness

    Last minute family lunch - good choice though! Service was great, nothing too much trouble - even provided a highchair for the baby. Food was fab, most had beef and agreed was very tasty and the nut roast was delicious ("naked" burger arrived with all the trimmings but was quickly remedied). Desserts were great - creme brulee looked a tiny portion but certainly wasn't - very filling. The baby became a bit fractious so we tried soothing in reception and staff were very friendly and said that the baby was a guest too and wasn't being noisy, which Mum appreciated. Thank you for the great food and friendly welcoming staff. Recommend and will be back. Side note - haven't been to the Croft Spa for a few years and love the makeover, well done!

    2nd visit for Sunday lunch, meat (beef) was terrible this time very tough and stringy. Shame because we brought my mother after recommending to her. Veg and desert lovely. Can't fault ambience and service just a shame about the meat.

    Second time visiting. Chose here for NYE as last time was lovely. 6 in our party. Seated in very brightly lit restaurant. No festive touches on table. Had to chase pre-dinner cocktails (£9.95 each) which arrived seconds before our starters. Food was ok but sold out of some items. Had to ask for side plates for sharing plates. No one checked on the table and we had to to go to the bar for drinks. Service was polite but inattentive- not great for the money really. There was a wedding on and all attention seemed to be there. A shame as could have been great.

    Great staff who could not do enough for us which was amazing considering one of our party was in a wheelchair and I am both vegetarian and gluten in tolerant. The food was delicious, quick and we felt very well looked after.
