After visiting the Bell Hotel earlier in the week, we decided to take friends for dinner. We made our booking and received our confirmation. On arrival, we were informed that they were not serving food and did not have our booking. After showing them the confirmation they insisted we could not eat there and sent us to The Thomas Paine Hotel, which was stunning.On arrival at The Thomas Paine Hotel, we came across a party of 12 who had also booked a table two weeks in advance and were told they couldn't eat there either.Stay away, it's not worth the hassle!Dear Lisa B,Thank you for your review. I am sorry your table reservation was missed. I am the new Assistant Manager and I will be placing steps to ensure this does not happen again. Me and My duty manager were on shift the night of the BBQ and Band Weekend and no other bookings came into the hotel after we found you a table at the Thomas Paine Hotel. We are sorry again for this confusion on your booking and we do hope this does not stop you from booking with us again in the near future.Kind RegardsAshley unthankAssistant Manager

We attended a family wedding here at the weekend. the food was superb!, the staff so helpful, every stop was pulled out to ensure everyone, children to grannies, had a great time and even the fussiest of eaters commented on the high quality of the food. The bar was very well stocked they even had my favorite... Rhubarb and ginger gin. very happy. Will visit again.

We stayed at the Crown during early Julyl and were delighted with everything, particularly the food.My husband left his 'kindle' behind so we went back today and, again, the food was first class. Nothing is too much trouble for the Crown and we shall go again very soon.

We booked online at the restaurant here for a family birthday. It was nice to receive a phone call a few hours before confirming our booking. On arrival we were greeted at the door by the owner. He seated us in the bar and handed us menus, this is where it started to get odd. He told us they were using temporary menus at the moment and handed us pieces of stapled together A4 paper. We assumed they were having new menus printed however it turned out that some items were missing from the menu we had seen online. This would have been a valuble thing to mention on the earlier phone call maybe. We ordered drinks, not all of our choices were available.We sat down to eat and found that some items had been mixed up. Some sauces were not as advertised (garlic mayo instead of bbq with a starter for example) . The burger with "all the trimmings" was missing a few trimmings and the meat from the ribs was tasteless. The staff were overly attentive and one of the owners spent an inappropriate amount of time talking with each of the tables about things not concerning their food.The owners heard that there was a birthday on our table and made the effort to take a name and write a birthday card. However, when handing over the card they said it was "for a free cupcake next time" which we thanked them profusely for only to discover that it did not infact contain anything of the sort. There was just no need to joke about it containing something that it did not when the card itself was more than enough and a lovely gesture.Later the owners mentioned that they live over 90mins away and when we asked if they could maybe move closer they said " oh no we couldn't live here" and pulled a disgusted face. We found this quite rude to the people who do live nearby and spend money at their restaurant.And the bitter aftertaste, a week later, was a parking fine that arrived through my door for the privilege of parking in the hotel car park during our visit. I called the hotel on 4 separate occasions. I was told that it would be cancelled by 2 people who never actioned it and then I was told that the hotel has no control over it but if I emailed over my details they would "see what they can do" I have no idea why a restaurant in this location would need a parking company to police their car park. Just across the road there is a free car park and all car parks in the town are also free. It is unjustified and ludicrous that a paying customer should be receiving a notice like this. I eventually had to file an official appeal with the parking company and the fine has since been cancelled. I have no way of knowing if this is because of the appeal or if the hotel finally did what it said it would almost 2 weeks later. One thing I do know is that I will not be visiting here again.Odd is the experience you have left us with, having looked after our customers for years you must be the oddest one out. Talking to all other tables (quite normal) if we had ignored you we suppose you wouldnât have been happpy with that. We use the finest ingredients and as we use fresh fish and meats sometimes they are not available. Having not said a word on the night to us is ODD anyway and leaving us with a sour taste. This is all because you got a parking ticket and you didnât read the signs which is not our fault. The fact that you will not be coming back is actually a good gesture so we all donât have to go through the odd experience with you again.

Have been meaning to try the Wellington for some time,so two of us had lunch yesterday.We were the only ones eating and were very well looked after by a very nice and efficient young lady.The menu is very extensive and has some different items that you would not normally find in similar establisments.We both chose the fish and chips which was excellent in all respects.The batter was really first class very light and tasty,and the fish was firm and flaky.We had no room for a desert,but will try and leave enough room the next time we visit.
