“Cask Ales, Continuity of Supply.”

No cask ale over the New Year Celebrations. The main bar has four hand pumps for cask ales and sometimes if lucky two pumps are in operation serving excellent quality well kept beers. Unfortunately, they seem to have a problem with continuity of supply in keeping two real ales on because many times… more

No cask ale over the New Year Celebrations. The main bar has four hand pumps for cask ales and sometimes if lucky two pumps are in operation serving excellent quality well kept beers. Unfortunately, they seem to have a problem with continuity of supply in keeping two real ales on because many times there is no real ale available at all and it can be a number of days before it reappears. This is extremely disappointing because the hotel bar is getting a good reputation for the real ale quality when available. If a pub was run this way it would be closed in no time with customers taking their trade elsewhere. Ivor Cobon.

“Very disappointed with entertainment”

Visited here with two friends last night (20th Dec) for meal and entertainment. From being called into the dining area, we had a very long wait until our starters were served.

Visited here with two friends last night (20th Dec) for meal and entertainment. From being called into the dining area, we had a very long wait until our starters were served. There was around 20/30 minutes to then wait for our main course, during which time guests had started to dance whilst waiting. Main course eventually arrived, and another long wait for dessert. Food tasty and served by young, pleasant staff. The DJ played the music too loud whilst we were eating. We couldn’t hear each other speaking. We asked him a couple of times to reduce the sound. which he did for about 30 seconds, and turned the volume up again. Many people were saying the music was too loud. Whilst eating, perhaps it would be a good idea to just having music in the background on a lower volume? Then the entertainment Freddie Mercury tribute came on 🤦‍♀️. Oh dear, the evening became worse! He sang out of tune, the backing tracks were played too loudly and sounded distorted, he was getting screeching feedback from his microphone. I’ve seen a lot of ‘Freddie’ tribute bands, and this was the worst! We left half way through his performance. The TinaTurner one we saw at The Bold last year was brilliant.

“Disappointing”

We returned to the Bold, having previously had a great night out at their Tom Jones Tribute evening. Sadly, our experience last night was not so great. Having been charged an extra £20 a head, our expectations were high but sadly not fulfilled. The service at the bar was particularly slow as they only had one person serving, meaning our food was going cold whilst waiting. In fairness, when I pointed this out to a member of the staff, she made sure someone came to serve. The food wasn't to the previous excellent standard, and there was a long delay in bringing out the dessert. The Freddie Mercury tribute was not good, and the music was extremely loud, so much so we left early.
