Best carvery around. When we have been it's always busy but the food is alway fresh and great portion sizes. Good variety too including fish for non meat eaters. Have taken various family and friends and they all comment on how impressed they are with the quality of food and nice surroundings. Would recommend the carvery.Good afternoon EmiC5 and thank you for posting such an encouraging comment about our Sunday carvery.

Having visited at Christmas for a function this seemed like a great restaurant to celebrate an engagement and birthday with family. What a bad choice. The evening was ruined by the combined efforts of the staff at the Hillside. 1. The waitress was simply incompetent:- Unable to count past 5 when she was taking the orders from a table of 7;- failed to clear the table of unused wine glasses or other empty glasses/bottles throughout the night;- debated how my wifeâs steak should be cooked - because she thought it was a steak sandwich;- brought chips when a house salad was ordered - because the chef couldnât read her writing, then didnât replace the chips with the missing salad;- spilled a bowl of tobacco onions then giggled, saying âits the thought that countsâ - after a steak was sent back for being improperly cooked she left the side order anyway before being told to take that back until the steak was ready;- left the bill with the guest whoâs birthday was being celebrated, causing some embarrassment as if they were expected to pay.2. The kitchen -- failed to cook any of the 3 steaks correctly. One of these was âmedium/rareâ was cooked âwell doneâ - so not even close to being right. The other 2 were over cooked and should have been returned but we were too generous thinking the meal would otherwise be good;- the Katsu curry (a Japanese meal) was bland, tasteless and served with a poppadom (an Indian side), which was soggy;- the hamburger was like a hockey puck - hard, over cooked and tasteless.3. The management:- were invisible. Not once did a manager come to ask how the meal was. Even after the waitress asked - and was told how unhappy we were, still no manager followed up;- the door to the courtyard was open, as it was a nice summers night, but that allowed wasps to come into the restaurant. We caught at least 3 wasps and released them, just to see them reappear. You donât need the risk of being stung when eating a meal INSIDE!- Despite this being so bad an evening the bill was presented in its entirety - no refund, no gesture of apology. Only after a complaint was made by me was some measure of remedial action taken. A refund of the value of the badly cooked steak was made. No attempt was made to improve the evening with any offer of (for example) free desserts/ coffee etc. This was so bad an evening that we left, with no desserts or coffee, and went to The Parsons Nose to finish the evening.Until the Hillside gets serious about its customer focus, and hires a chef who can cook a steak, we wonât be back.

We visited today as a family of three for Sunday lunch, and as usual the food was fantastic. The staff are friendly and prompt, and we enjoyed sitting near a roaring open fire. We had the spicy chicken wings and the chicken liver pate to start, and roast dinners for main while my son went for the Jamaican Jerk chicken sandwich. My husband is a chef and was impressed by the roast dinners - proper gravy made from scratch, gorgeous creamy mash and nice presentation. Weâll definitely be back again soon!

My friend and I decided to stop here for tea and cake. We were impressed by the way we were greeted and allocated a table. There was a good selection of cakes and tray bakes. Although it was busy the staff were efficiently working to ensure orders were prepared and given to customersWe had the most delicious french lemon yoghurt cake which was scrummy even though it was a huge portion. Our tea came in very trendy teapots which impressed my friendWhat was really surprising was the price which was very reasonable. This place is definitely worth another visitHi, Thank you very much for taking the time to write a positive review about establishment, it means a lot to us.
