Our special time away was decided upon by their reputation, but we feel they are riding on past success. The Calamari was rubbery and certainly not fresh, the pate was straight out of the fridge and sliced, but did not spread. The rissotto was like a stodgy rice pudding with pan fried fish placed on top, and the side salad was again straight out of the fridge. The fish was fresh at one time, but it had a far too long association with a freezer to be anything but bearable. If I were told the chips were frozen, I would not be able to disagree. All the food was so bland and unseasoned, that Gordon Ramsay would end up in tears. It is a shame that with such a great reputation and a fantastic looking menu, that the chef(s) have become so reticent and lazy, and that the quality and freshness of the food has been sacrificed. As for 6 pumps supplying a range of Real Ales, 2 options did not pass muster. On a positive note, the room was well appointed, modern, clean and tidy. The area is fantastic, the hotel is great, but just take our advice and eat elsewhere.
