"Had call to visit here for a large family get together ,first impressions I thought hotel was very quiet for a Sunday afternoon , maybe 4 customers in total about the place when we arrived, all 25 of us including a couple of children, did others know something we didn't . The dining room was bright and airy ,as we waited for everyone to arrive ,the waiter took our drinks order , I asked for 3 different types of beer that are common every else , sorry No, No , Ah sorry No again , eventually we arrived at a beer that both they had and that I liked . Maybe they couldn't handle a group this size but when the order came back 4 of us though they were bringing the rest of the large order on a second tray , and waited 10 minutes , they never came back ,so I went and asked for the other 4 drinks that had not come ,then they brought them with apologies. The food order was taken and my wife and brother in law both remarked the soup was burned , though in fairness my caesar salad was excellent .The main course , the beef my wife ordered was very fatty with at least 33% being cut off and left on the side of the plate , mine was stuffed chicken fillet wrapped in bacon , which I had to send back as it was absolutely swimming in melted butter mixed with enough gray to do 3 dinners, NO Exaggeration. So I got a new dinner with appoligies, and told that it was the melted butter from the veg, Must have been all the veg anyway the chicken fillet was hard as it was overcooked , the mash was soaking wet as it was lying in the gravy veg butter stuff ,only less this time . The sweet was very nice , and when it came to the tea or coffee one side of the large table was served,but the least 3 people on the side I was on never got any tea or coffee and I certainly wasn't asked if I did want any ,but as I didnt , it didnt matter , but it would be nice to be asked in case I did . We then moved into the bar which was very comfortable with soft seats and sofas but empty of people WHY I Wonder .The bill came to £600 all but a few shillings. My verdict on the quality of some of the service and a good bit of the food is **** POOR I am afraid . We only ended up going here because the other two places we tried to book couldn't handle a booking so big on a Sunday evening , and after my LAST visit the the everglades it became obvious why they could have accommodated a group of up to 100 . They need to sit down and asked themselves why that is ."
