Visited last night as party of a party of 7 girls. We arrived just before 7pm and had been able to book for the early menu specials. Amazing value. Food was absolutely delicious. The staff are more than attentive. One in particular Alan looked after the 7 of us. Was more than attentive kept checking in on us did we need anything more drinks, how did the food taste etc. Customer service exceptional. Will most definitely be returning and recommending to others. Food was really superb. Really went out of their way to make us feel really welcome. Food was really delicious. Well done indeed.

Venue and set up of restaurant is very lovely but think the food was a bit too heavy. I ordered the cordon bleu. Was a massive chicken breast with green beans that were smothered in butter, definitely too much butter. Another person in the party also said his scampi monkfish batter was also very heavy. I've only eaten here a few times and every time I wanted to like the food more than I did. Otherwise the decor is really lovely a x service was grand.

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!

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.
