Guardhouse - Menu

Sunday lunch was absolutely vile! Completely tasteless and unseasoned, over boiled,mushy veg,microwaved packet mash and frozen salmon. The Staff are lovely but food is horrendous.

Stopped for a late lunch. This place is more like a hotel bar than a restaurant. Good for drinks, but the food is typical pub grub and the wines we wanted were out of stock. Decent service with a smile, though. Overall ok for s quick bite and drink, just don’t your hopes too high.

I liked that the menu was small. More chance of things being fresh. I had the burger which was great. Mark, who I'm assuming is the manager was absolutely lovely a real credit to the place. The decor needs stripped back. Get rid of all the drapes and the gahstly carpet. And the endless images of red coats shooting people is a out dated and bordering on offensive. I know the history of the place dont care no one needs to see loads of illustrations of people being shot at by soldiers of the empire this is 2020!

Party of 8 just had a great Sunday lunch with 7 of us having the traditional Sunday roast and 1 having fish and chips. The restaurant was not too busy with nice tables laid out in plenty of space , the staff were pleasant and attentive but not being over attentive. The food was very reasonably priced and I must say was the tastiest sunday lunch I have had in years and the gravy was so rich and flavoursome, there was a choice of four meats. The sweet was a very light and tasty lemon meringue with other options available. We will definitely be visiting again.

I was staying in the old barracks hotel below this place and enjoyed a few drinks in here before going to the speedway. It is a lovely quirky pub and the staff were young, pretty and unusual (in a good way)...and it was full of quirky characters...the ideal place for people watching. The selection of beers was really good and obviously spirits and wines too. I returned here after the speedway for a couple more drinks and they were really polite again, even letting me take a couple of drinks to my room in the hotel below. Will definitely stay at the hotel next door again and come here for food.

We went to the Garrison for a meal in the bar. The waiting time was 40 mins but at least we were told that when we ordered. The salmon was very good as was the scampi and chips. However, I would warn against choosing the steak and ale pie. The pastry was soggy and the meat was chewy, like trying to eat old shoe leather! I think that it would be an idea for the chef to eat one of the pies and then decide if this should still be on the menu. I had two bites and then just gave up. The chips and peas were fine. All the staff are helpful and friendly and the surroundings are pleasant but quite dark due to the nature of the old building.

I booked here for my Christmas Day lunch and will give it full marks. When arriving we were handed a glass of sparkling wine , the tables were very nicely dressed and we were not all ushered in at once, we were booked in in intervals which made it better all round. The food was one hundred percent , I loved the belly pork starter and we all had a liqueur with our cheesecake dessert then we had mince pies and chocolate bon bons. We finished it off with tea and coffee in cups as big as soup bowls. I've had Christmas dinner in some top hotels and paid a fortune but it was never as good as this. Well done to all the staff and chefs , we will be back.

We’ve been going to the garrison for a few years the food is always great and the service was always faultless the last two visits one on a Sunday afternoon and one on a Friday night everything set off ok then I think who is the new manager thinks you can’t hear him through the masks made the young waitresses working with him feel like everything they were doing was wrong and when they did as he had barked at them the service went down hill. He made us feel that uncomfortable his behaviour to young girls trying to learn a job that we left as soon as possible. He needs to concentrate on his own skills before trying to teach others. I’m sure you will have a revolving door for staff soon with h...

Been here many times and the food is always good, never had a bad meal yet. This Christmas instead of all the hassle of cooking a Christmas dinner we decided to eat out. We chose the Garrison because it is guaranteed good food and value for money. The four of us were made very welcome as usual , the Christmas decorations looked lovely without it being over done and the service was fantastic, well done staff. The tables looked immaculate with the beautiful white tablecloths and centre decoration, all the bookings were spaced out which made it better all round for everyone including the kitchen.. It was very well organised. Now for the food, we all had different starters, I had the smoked salm...
