"The food at this restaurant is delicious and the portions of Sunday roast are huge, all at reasonable prices. The front parking was a bit cramped, but there are some easily accessible spaces in the additional parking area. There is a large children's play area that kept the kids entertained while waiting for their meal. The service was also excellent. The only downside is that the venue itself feels a bit worn and run down, especially the bar area. Overall, I would give the food a rating of 5 out of 5."

"My parents recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a dinner for 27 people at Hilltop. From our initial meeting with Daren a few months prior to the event, he showed a genuine interest in planning every detail of the evening. He truly went above and beyond to ensure that the occasion was everything we hoped it would be. On the night of the celebration, Daren was attentive to every aspect, and he and his team made the event a tremendous success. I must also note that the food was delightful, and the wine selection was outstanding. I rate this experience 5 stars."

"The setting and waitresses were very nice and friendly and covid restrictions were respected. The menu was very large, and there was a separate vegan menu, with 4 main dishes and 3 puddings. Unfortunately the only vegan starter is olives and they are unable to provide chips or fries as they’re cooked in the same place as non-vegan things (yet are somehow vegetarian). The mains were delicious, but very small! Particularly the roasted cauliflower wedge which was 1/3rd of a cauliflower on about a tablespoon of hummus with some salad leaves. I can’t fault the taste, but after just that and no starter I was still very hungry. The desserts were much bigger and very nice. They had a chocolate billionaires bar and a polenta cake on the vegan menu, but there was also crumble with custard on the main menu. Updated from previous review on 2021-06-04"

"I have just got back from an unfortunately VERY disappointing meal here today. I was recommended this place by a friend who said the food was great, and as it is so local to me we thought we would try. However, we went in and first off the only menu was a Sunday one which just offered various meats with standard roast accompaniments, no matter o chose a steak as it said it came with chips and onion rings. My first mistake. Secondly we ordered some bread and olive oil and balsamic dip. And a lamb shank. It took 53 minutes for the kitchen to send out our order and we didn’t even get the bread and olive oil to pick on. We had to ask a very rushed looking waitress how long table 59 would be, and could we at least have our bread and dip. She went in and came out another 5 minutes later with two plates one with bread and oil and another with some kind of pate on it. I said straight away we hadn’t ordered it so she took it away and then reappeared 5 minutes later carrying the same plate and saying that we had in fact paid for it so it was ours. No refund or apology was offered so I graciously said ok, we will try it. It was AWFUL, really warm pate and the bread was dry. Awful. Now onto the mains; My steak turned up with peas which I did not order. It was also bland and unseasoned and was brought dry with no sauce options or anything. I ate a few mouthfuls and ate 5 chips and I honestly couldn’t eat anymore as it was just tasteless and chewy. The lamb shank was ok, the gravy with it had no flavour at all and there was no salt or pepper offered or on the table at all ‍. We waited another 35 mins and no one came over to check or ask us if everything was ok. In the end. We got so fed up we left. I am incredibly disappointed, I never moan or put up reviews but I actually feel seriously unhappy that a meal for two cost me £65 in a mediocre setting and was flavourless. That combined with being charged for a starter neither of us would ever order in a million years and the fact we had to clear our own table and dust ash off of it gave me an experience I’m massively unhappy about. For a restaurant with apparent 4 stars online it was mediocre at best. And that is only because the lamb shank and a few mushrooms on my plate were edible and I was hungry! I really would like to hear back from someone, and for you to morally do the right thing and have my ‘unordered’ starter refunded back to me at some point. I have no issue in returning in the future however I would like some assurance that the whole experience will be far better and that all the issues here are addressed to give me an incentive to come back again."
