Verve Grill - Menu

My daughter had been for a meal last year and said it was poor but the bar and grill had not long been open. Giving it the benefit of the doubt we went earlier this evening and wish we hadn't, dreadful meal, will not be going back.

Booked a table for Saturday night. This is not a restaurant but a bar and grill type of dining experience. The noise was horrendous, couldn’t here ourselves think never mind talk to each other. If you want a nice relaxing place to eat where you can talk as a couple this is certainly not the place. Saying that the food was delicious.

I think the chef had overdone the chillis, I can eat medium hot curries with no discomfort but my chicken dish coating burned the back of my throat and other members of the family struggled too. We dis query it with our waitress who said the dishes were supposed to be like that, although in other Verve grills we had had no problem!!

Lovely bar area and food ok but i feel compelled to write this review due to the smell of the toilets The smell is overpowering and reminds me of an underpass or filthy public toilets . The whole place is being refurbished so maybe aren’t bothering to maintain the toilets but the smell entering the corridor to the toilets is overpowering and off putting Wouldn’t visit again until work completed

Love coming here with friends, dining room is spotless very light and well decorated. Plenty of starters to choose from and if you have a favourite you can go up for more. I had roast beef was cooked and sliced perfectly . All the veg was cooked to perfection. I made room for desert a delicious chocolate mouse. At £14.95 for adults it's fantastic value , not sure price of children's. Great outdoor areas and well kept Can't wait to come back again

For a large chain hotel, I wasn’t expecting a restaurant which is a sports bar. It had a very intimidating vibe for both nights of my stay, full of football fans and not a place I’d like to visit alone. Due to the Village’s lack of phones in rooms, you must go to the bar to order your room service (app system hasn’t worked the 4 times I’ve stayed at Village Hotels) Poor food and no vegetarian mains on offer, only salads and a burger from the “grill” section. Will avoid village hotels from here on.

We stay at lots of lovely hotels and have never paid so much for mediocre Brewers Fayre type food. I have never seen mussels so tiny and tasteless, as for the prawns and squid starter at £8 there could have been more of it and the batter was not as stated, it was soggy. Burger at £13 was very tasty, if a little on the pricey side, but one fillet of salmon, a few over-cooked chips (actually soggy, dark, overcooked wedges) on overcooked kale, at £18 was abominable. Two bottles of water £8. The restaurant speaks for itself though. Only three couples in on a Saturday evening at 8pm says it all. We only used it for convenience. Sorry must bring prices down and food standards up.

Having read a few bad reviews in the past, I was a bit worried after booking DBB stay st the hotel, especially as it was or anniversary. The set menu didn’t have much choice, but we were happy to choose from the menu, but was also offered to pick from a la carte with a £15 allowance and top up. The set menu was really good, we had a flat bread starter and hummus and tortilla chips.. both excellent. Main courses: we had the herb marinated grilled chicken and warm salad, and the chicken piri piri kebabs; both were excellent. We wanted the pineapple crumble but it had all gone, so I had the deconstructed cheesecake and hubby had the fudge cake, again both excellent. Only complaint was the espre...

This place is like Freddie Karno's Circus. It is chaotic. Firstly our ribs arrived looking like they had been microwaved. Tough, anemic and poor sauce. We sent them back and had them removed from the bill. The waitress apologized. My wife's teriyaki salmon was nice and my burger would have been if the chips weren't stone cold. I sent them to be replaced and the waitress apologized again. We had to find another waitress to get more drinks as ours had disappeared for a while. We chose deserts. My wife's was fine but when I asked if the Chocolate fudge cake was hot and was told it was, it arrived cold.The waitress apologized again. I sent it back to come back lukewarm. I just eat it as every ti...
